YEAH! ?? The old 1.6 layout can be seen in this video and 10 years later RZL and catfood helped me to make it even better.

OMG the theme song! 
Quote from Radix16 hours ago, Radix said: I think it's a good idea to build something new (slow movement in water) on something proven ("3 lane"/"4 square" whatever layout).
So players feel immediately "at home" in the map and are willing to learn the new things. If you add do too many new things at once players might be frustrated.
I think you did a good job here.
Thanks Radix!

We've never really seen environmental hazards in CS:GO before - at least not in a competitive map. I really look forward to seeing how it plays out in a 5v5 setting.
Cheers mate! We wanted to create something new and unique so that a player does not experience déjà-vu which unfortunately is often common on new maps.
Quote from Tynnyri14 minutes ago, Tynnyri said: I don't think you understand... If you bunnyhop in water, there's no slowdown. You go normal grounded bunnyhop speed. Bunnyhopping in CS:GO is based on luck. This means if you're lucky, you just randomly get quicker to your destination. Let's say you don't want to bunnyhop for moral reasons. Just have a teammate crouch in spawn and start a runboost. Same thing applies, you run boost away, avoiding the water and get faster to your destination. Except that in a normal map the time to set up a runboost in spawn is longer than the speed gained. Not really in this map, where there's slower movement than normal. Basically, there's no point in going into the water, ever.
I fully understand what you wrote but we have so little water in critical places so I don't know what a runboost will help. We do not force anyone to go in the water you can avoid it everywhere and that's the whole idea of the map, to have it open and interesting but at the same time not attract anyone to use it all the time.
Quote from Tynnyri7 minutes ago, Tynnyri said: The water speed penalty is such a broken mechanic though. You can avoid them with bunnyhops and runboosts, if you don't, you get rushed because the opponents did that. Honestly. Just runboost your team across the water and negate the penalty. I don't see the gameplay purpose in something you are meant to negate at the start of the round and which only matters when rotating from site to site, both of which hardly never happen in a casual match anyways.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes absolutely, of course you can get there faster if you jump in water, that's how CS:GO works as you know, applies both on land and in water and something that we are fully aware of. To use walk is also an option to use as you then make no sound whatsoever in water, many variants are available.

We have sent many pictures to each other that describe what we are thinking and then we have talked a lot to each other even though Morozov's English is limited and my Russian is non-existent. But in some way it has worked and now we understand each other well.
Level design brings people together and in the end we all speak the same language.
Quote from judasOn 1/29/2020 at 4:56 PM, judas said: I really love the map, when i was running around on it i really didnt like that your not able to run in the water. It is an good idea but there is quite a big part of the map that you are not able to run at, just walk. I feel that it forces players to go certain ways to avoid being slow. For example around the b site (which i really think you should be able to move freely), if you are tight of time you are forced to a certain path. Or in t-spawn, the left path is instant walk. (maybe make the water a bit deeper in t-spawn so you will walk but around the b-site you are able to move freely) I need to play competetive on it to see if it feels better i think
And i do understand that in the way it forces you to walk have alot impact on the timeings on the map aswell Other than that i love the map.
Thanks for the feedback! The reason why a player goes slow where there is "slime" is because to avoid players not choosing to always use shortcuts or to run around in the slime more than necessary. You have a choice to choose it on certain rounds which can be crucial as it opens up new angles to a bombsite eg. The map is designed so even if you choose to go to the middle in slime as a terrorist after spawn you still have great timing against CT in the middle but you always have a choice to avoid water and slime completely. It is a new unique way to get a player to make decisions and a good way to "limit" one such open map in a smooth way.

Quote from flickaa7 hours ago, flickaa said: Wait, you're actually the creator of Mirage?? I thought it was valve created? Maybe an earlier version?
Either way, I love the theme but don't make it unrealistically old. I think it definitely looks good, and I can't wait to see more. I will jump on to the greybox as soon as I get home!
Yes I'm the author/creator of Mirage, small world. Thanks for the feedback, we are trying to make it look like an "forgotten" small town during present time.

Cheers mate! I came up with the name Iris because I think it's a great clean and simple name and ofc also the meaning of creating colours. The name is also ambiguous so it's open for interpretation, but I thought it rolled nicely off the tongue and it ties somewhat with the theme.

Cheers mate, more pics will be out soon! Yep, the idea is to create a map with a great amount of 50s feeling.

Here's a preview of DE_SUBZERO. The awesome Tanuki (creator of Seaside and Downtown) helped design the layout, and I created all the art. However, penE from DE_CACHE made the old-school crates as a cameo, I love that guy
Shout out to all the wonderful people who provided helpful feedback on the visuals and gameplay so far!
Wow looks amazing, haven't played they greybox but the visuals looks sooooooooooooooOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOoooood!
Hi, I was one of the best Quake 2 player in the world for many years so my personal expectations are very high, no good FPS game have been released since QL and that's just Q III all over again. I have no idea why id Software or some other game developer doesn't listen to the old pro players or the scene in general who made Quake what it is today.
We play QL since it's fast, bright, easy to access, mod etc and not for any graphics at all we just want pure FPS with an awesome game engine, maps and weapons!
Please don't let us down we need this!

Hi MC!
After my work with Squad and Yanzl on Thrill I'm now open for a new CS:GO map project.
Since my CS:GO mapping skills are weak (I'm used to map for CS 1.6) I will contribute with layout, theme, testing, and feedback from greybox to the final release. I will try to be online 1-2 h for feedback and test everyday, I believe in hard work! I'm already working on a new layout and I got some ideas for a de_ map. Feel free to contact me! /BubkeZ
New update, lots of fixes, thanks for all feedback! I can also gladly tell you that the biggest newspaper in Sweden (Aftonbladet) is now our server sponsor! BrutalCS are the host! Update Thrill and play some Retake with us at: retake15.brutalcs.nu

Valve is working on it, lots of maps have been banned already (what I've heard), maps with sponsors will be banned and hopefully all bots too.
