Hi for those who went for the most recent playtest of Mettle, how was the new layout?

These are the timings for the current version of the map:

CT to A: 7 Seconds

CT to B: 13 Seconds

CT to Mid: 8 Seconds

T to A: 13 Seconds

T to B: 17 Seconds

T to Mid: 8 Seconds

A to B (Rotate): 13 Seconds

Hi guys, I bring to you another major update for Mettle:

Here is the new radar completed with icons for each Spawn and Site.

Bombsite B has been given a complete makeover with inspiration of A site of Empire.

The second entrance for Ts to mid has been moved to allow CTs to defend mid easier.

Bombsite A has been given more cover for CTs to defend with.

Don't really have a location set in mind, anyway detailing is not really my forte so I will try to get some advice when I reach that point.

It has been awhile since the last update but I just want to share with you a screenshot of the new Bombsite B:

Thank you for the feedback. I was already planning to remake bombsite B and I will keep your suggestions in mind when developing the site. I will also look into the other suggestions you posed and consider them if possible in the future.

Hi is there a demo of the playtest of de_Mettle?

Congrats!

Hello! With the suggestions posed by @TooProForYahoo I have since then updated my map according to those suggestions.

With Mid being too CT sided, I have added a "door" which limits the CT's AWPer's cover and mobility

A hallway has been added to allow Ts to push from another position into A site

A window has been added at Hut to allow CTs to cover the site from another angle

And lastly a box as been added there to allow CTs to do some tactical boosts.

That's all for the updates!

The way to fix this is by selecting a gamemode in the check boxes. In your case it would be the classic game type

After running around your map for 10 minutes, I found a few things that are kind of over powered.

A Site

Awping on CT side A site is severely over powered, you have long routes that the Ts have to take, and the CTs will greatly benefit by buying long ranged weapons here. I thought of a solution but I don't really know how it would work out.

You should add a hallway here, so they don't have to deal with the mid awper directly unless they really want to

I thought the hallway would look something like this:

This door should really be opened faster, try changing the speed to 250 and see how it works. You can always turn it down if needed.

B Site

From CT to B, you have a random ledge, consider adding a railing (this is really low priority but just thought you should so something about it)

On B site, you have a small office type room. Consider adding a window here. CT's only have 1 main entrance to watch from.

Next to the overhang that the T's use for an entrance, you could add a 2 man boost here to catch oncoming T's by surprise

Thats all I have for now.

Thank you so much! I have been waiting for suggestions like yours to pop up. I will consider everything stated here in mind when I further develop the map.

Hi can someone remove Mettle from the playtest? I feel that I could work more on the map before I submit it for playtest.

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since my last post. Ever since I left Bottleneck behind, I tried to create new layouts. However I always felt that those layouts were inferior compared to Bottleneck's layout. So I took the time to come back to Bottleneck and revamped it. Yes! Bottleneck is back! However, the name is changed to "Mettle" because why not. Anyways, this thread is mostly for feedback on layout quality and other stuff. With that said here are the screenshots!

Hi, is there a tutorial for modeling for csgo? I am quite new to modeling and I would like to get into it.

It's been too long, glad to see that the map is still in development!

I agree, I am thinking of changing it to a different name.

Hello everyone! Thanks for those who went to playtest my map and gave feedback!

Changes I will make:

-Balance Mid

-Fix Head glitch orange blocks at B

-Fix Bombsite A's van's OP angle

-Redo A Long

-Redo Timings

-de_vaginalsores ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I apologise for this, but can you change it back to the 2nd? I just found out that that day is clear for me...

It's not also ideal as you can't get a dialogue going with feedback (everything is a statement rather than a potential back and forth)

I understand that. However I really cannot be part of the playtest. I really want to participate but the time difference does not allow me to.

Hi can my playtest be moved to the 9th of June? Thanks.

There will be replays and comments from players available to you a day or so after the playtesting session.

I'll also try to make it to the session and give you some feedback directly in your own thread

Thanks a lot!
