This has got to be my favorite submission. Although all the other maps in the competition look great, the visuals typically vary between superb and rushed. Anubis, on the other hand, does not look rushed in a single area. If one were to tell me Valve made this map, I would believe it. The layout is interesting, and the visuals are an easy A+. This map is only rivaled by Valve's own remakes.

You guys deserve first place!

I really love the theme of the map. It's incredibly cozy. There aren't many flaws, and the atmosphere is superb. I would say the largest issue might be how similar the map feels to Zoo. It might just be the rocks. I'll list my other nit-picks here:

I suggest putting some wood over this texture transition.

I suggest you replace this with a more high-res model...

I don't know what this is. It's small anyway.

This is surely one of my favorite entries, and I wish you luck!

Honest criticism with this map: the areas feel rather homogeneous. The textures that are present look great, but changing the theme slightly in some areas for more distinction could go a long way. Either way, good luck. I hope your hard work was worth it. ?

Death Stranding as a CS:GO map? I thought nobody would do it, but here we are.

This entry's atmosphere is extremely well done, I am definitely a fan. My only suggestion would be to add some more small details; as it's a bit clean. I also feel like the floor areas (such as the stones) could pop out a lot more with color and detail. Otherwise, the custom work that is there is incredible. Anyway, I'm sure more polish is to come after the competition. Good luck!

This gives off old nostalgiac CS:S vibes. I think the visuals will need a good amount of work if you want to fit the CS:GO style, but the glow this gives off is interesting.

I'm gonna flip if you don't put an apostrophe on that Mike's sign. ?

No, but for real, this looks incredible. Definitely one of my favorite entries.

This map is incomplete until we can see Moses's basket floating down the Nile, as well as Indiana Jone's hat and whip.

Map has me looking like Maul at the end of Phantom Menace.

Thrill vibes all over.

A true masterpiece.?

This redefines my perception of what maps can be.

Thank you for changing my life, John.

I don't mean to alarm you, but...

you might want to VIDE compile.

OMG this map is LITERALLY unplayable.

Ah... I knew I recognized that name somewhere:

This is definitely one of my favorite entries; I love the theme and style. When will you update the workshop version?

After that last Mandalorian episode we need Taika Watiti to direct a full Star Wars film. That guy is incredible at what he does.

Cool, just curious. ?

Under what circumstance would the deadline be extended?

Multiplayer seems like it'd be fun on here.

Next big e-sport?

If I had to recall my favorite movie scene, I'd probably have to go with the entire ending of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The coupling of the incredible score from Ennio Morricone with the suspense of the scene is goosebump-inducing. The previous graveyard scene is just as good. If you have not seen this movie, do yourself the favor.

Not to discourage you from your current project, but if I were you, I'd definitely still focus on Jungle. There's definitely a lot of valid criticism to be had about the map, and as it is already in CS:GO, I see no better time to work on it. If you aren't willing to go back to Jungle, I'd suggest getting another experienced mapper to polish it up.

Otherwise, this new map looks interesting, but I hope it does not suffer from the same visual issues as the previous map. That's not to say it looks bad, it just doesn't fit Valve's style as much as I would like. Either way, I wish you luck.

Also: How long do these maps take you to make?
