de_vannah takes place at a hotel in Paris. The map is aimed at competitive play and is still a work in progress but I thought I'd start a thread on it!

Bombsite A:

Bombsite B:

Mid/ish:

Long:

T Spawn:

These are the first shots I've taken in-game since I did the lightning today, I can obviously see that I need to tweak those enviroment settings hard and use another color correction file instead of de_train. Everything looks so white outside

Here is the layout from up top in Hammer:

I'm curious to see where it is going =) NIce job mate

Nice

de_vannah is a cool sounding name, and the map is already beginning to look plausible and varied.

[Kosire]

Thanks for the kind words, folks!

Little update after some playtesting:

- New enviromental lightning and color correction

- Removed an entrance to bombsite A from Mid.

- Removed an entrance from long to bombsite B.

- Redid an terrorist mid entrance to bombsite B

- Moved the tunnel at bombsite a further away and added double doors to it.

This looks great so far, should host a play test on the mapcore server

[Puddy]

we got one scheduled next wednesday (30th), we can put this on then

[Pampers]

refreshingly open, but may be too awp favorable?

always have room for two people to pass in doorways

I wouldn't say always, works great on nuke and italy, it forces players to commit (Though I haven't looked at the level in game so I don't know how that area plays).

[FMPONE]

I tend to agree with Pampers that at least in that instance it looks pretty iffy to have the door be so narrow

[Puddy]

Let playtesting decide who's right imho. Science, bitches!

Single-door can definitely work when used correctly!
