Bastion

Good morning chaps, Its 10AM currently and I found this forum after searching the internet and failing to sleep. I am Bastion, I do maps (well, I try)
I'm from England, I drink tea and all that other stuff. 
Currently I have been working with Hammer since 2012, although things did not really get started properly until 2014, when I started making working maps with the intention of releasing them, so far I have managed to get three CS:GO maps onto the workshop and I'm currently in the process of putting together my fourth. I get around 300 people showing up on my workshop items on average for each release, its been increasing at a steady rate. Although in comparison to everyone here, that number is probably tiny!
Maybe I'll get 1000 sexy gentlemen looking at my workshop page eventually, just got to keep refining my abilities in hammer to produce something worth playing.
I think I'll get comfortable, and check this place out.

Hey dude! Welcome to Mapcore Hope you like it here, it's full of really talented chaps and chapettes (lol maybe not the latter). Post up your work and show us what you're working on

Hi guys! English is not my first language so please be gentle.



About the me:

I'm learning hammer from early 2008 when I started to play Counter Strike 1.6. I was mapping for all of the GoldSRC and Source engine. Never really tested my maps, they were casual to the limit. One sided to the limit and sometimes broken to the limit. Cargo is my attempt to create very smooth (gameplay vise) map for competitive environment. I want to hear your feedback. I want you to be a part of the map making process. I want to learn more than I learned in those 7 years.

At the end of the process I want to write down everything I learned and discover with one big .pdf file about this map. I want to include as much data I will be able to gather and make it easy for other peoples to read and understand.


About the map:

Cargo is a map set in the theme of communist military logistic base that is going to be demolished due to dissolution of the Soviet Union.

 
Overview:

 
Mid area:

 
Bombsite B:

 
Playtesting:

The feedback from 7.04 was a little hard for me to understand. First, it was my very first attempt to playtest a map so it was hard time filtering useful info.

Someone said that map is to small, other guy said it was too big in some parts. But results are clearly understandable. The A bomb, CT spawn and Mid area were too close to each other allowing Ct's to gain control over whole half of the map in first seconds. As you can see from screens above mid is too long and Ct literally spawn on it. I made few changes to it today and looking forward to test it again. Nobody really complained about bombsite B. So I wont change it too much.


PS Doors were screwed by 128 tick server sorry guys

This is how de_cargo should look like:

 

 
This is just a raw presentation of what is in my mind.
