Hi guys, I always loved mapping in Counter Strike but my biggest problem in making a competitive map is that I can't find a good layout. Either it feels too simple, too similar to a popular map or too complex.
What is your technique to make a fun, simple yet interesting layout?
As a last resort is there suck a place where people post layouts free to use?
Thanks for your time!
PS: would you consider modelling skills a must in today's mapping?
