it has a mature counter-strike feel a bit which is really pulling me

This is the direction more shooters need to be going. Every since Bad Company 2 meaningful destruction has been ignored. 5v5, tactical gear, full destruction. sounds fucking awesome.

I think this is one of the first games I'm actually in favor of the destruction, at least it's not just stuck on as a marketing gimmick. All that seems left to do with Rainbow Six is adding more dynamic environments and they seem to of nailed it. 
 
I was not interested at all in Vegas for a number of reasons, but this has my attention.

I'm not so into it.  It looks like a mess.  Sci-fi characters in the 1940s illustration style of TF2 (many of whom don't look great next to each other in the first place), abilities look way too OP/ridiculous (reaper "KILL EVERYTHING" mode, sniper/titsass wallhacks), also the cinematic crew doesn't even know what to do with the art it seems.  Cinematics look like Brink, but done well + Big Hero 6, Env art looks like 1940s illustration done extremely well (holy shit those maps look beautiful), then the character art is like Monday Night Combat + more skin tight suits.
 
Giving FPS the Dota treatment is a super good idea though, and some heroes (Hanzo!) look fun as hell to play.  IMO, getting rid of the sci-fi element would do the game well, many characters have real cool motifs that would work well together already, but then the sci-fi stuff kind of ruins it.  It looks like they ran out of time for some characters, like the sniper, where it's just "BLUE CHICK WITH BUTT".

All the finals in CS:GO have been insane lately. Almost like its scripted, unbelievable stuff.

Looks fun!

It's really good, makers of Brothers. 
Full local co-op goodness, been waiting for a game like this for years, and it actually delivers. Strangely cheap too $30. 
 

Hi everyone I recorded a YouTube video about the map and some of the problems I think it faces right now and how to improve them. I feel my criticisms are valid but my word isn't gospel. Hopefully I didn't ramble on for too long

Hey guys, the map pretty much almost done, so here's one last update before release.
Also to those that have played on the map, don't forget to submit your signatures (send a picture of your signature written with a thicker pen or with a tablet)

Hey guys, 
fabE from FACEIT here! On behalf of the entire team, I wanted to congratulate everyone for participating and submitting some awesome maps, and in particular the Top 10 for some super interesting concepts and top notch execution. Really very impressed and can't wait to play them some more :-).
The next big milestone for the contest will be polishing and re-submitting the Top 10 maps by January 10th, 2018.
For this, we would like to contribute by offering the FACEIT platform, in particular a recently launched product feature: "Hubs", as a tool to the MapCore community. The MapCore Hub will serve two purposes
Short-term: From December 18th - 22nd, MapCore and FACEIT will organise playtesting for the Top 10 Finalists of this contest. Per day, two maps will be playable on the Hub. We will update you which maps will be scheduled for which day, later this week. Long-term: As a community, Mapcore has a lot to offer and churns out quality content on a regular basis. The Mapcore Hub could become the outlet and platform for maps to be playtested, various sub-Hubs set up to cater for more casual or competitive users, special Hubs (Aim Map, 2v2, etc) created, and more. In the end, the direction for this can be decided by the Mapcore community and FACEIT will try to fulfil as many wishes as possible :-) For those interested in learning more about Hubs, please check out this and this article. I'm happy to answer any questions you guys may have, too. If you want to DM me directly, hit me up on Twitter or Discord - I'm on the Mapcore server.
Cheers,
Fabian

CSGO is the easiest as it doesn't require any scripting, except for placing a few brushes and changing their properties to be bomb sites (which is super simple!). L4D2 requires more scripting (although its fairly basic in-engine stuff for the most part), so I'd recommend starting with CSGO.
Here is an amazing tutorial series by TopHATTwaffle which covers all the steps to making and uploading a complete CSGO map.
After each video I'd recommend just messing around with what was taught in that video and you'll learn it pretty fast!
