de_crossfire, work in progress

[catfood]

Hello again, this is the map im currently working on.

A couple of months ago i put it on hold because of a map (de_cheesefire) i wanted to make for a contest.

After that i entered another contest for wich i made de_reef so this map has been a sleep for a while.
During the building process of the other two maps we kept playing crossfire on the catfood server so it already has quite a lot of playtesting hours in it.
It is still far from finished, there are still lots of place holders and dev textures but i hope it already gives some impression of how the final version will look like.

Im really curious what you guys think so far, let me know!

Excellent job

Good looks!

Digging the vibe, bro. Maybe a stronger fog would be the icing on the cake.

 Looking pretty good, like the style! I think this is one of those maps that would benefit a lot from a more desaturated light_environment

yeah, looking at the first screen I thought it was a tf2 map, also those mountains need some love

[catfood]

thanks for the comments!

yes Pampers your right, the 3dskybox including the mountains still needs a lot of work, i will also try adding more fog to see how it works out.
About decreasing saturation, i was about to add a crane that is either orange or yellow and all doors in the map are half orange/red now

i did pretty much the oppostie haha, but when i add colorcorrecion to the map i will try to push back saturation to see how it looks!

Hi, I want to show you guys the progress I made on crossfire.
I played around with the lighting a bit and also did some work on the mountains, but I still need to put some more time in them.
Also it seems Minos and Psy where both right about adding more fog and decreasing overall saturation, thanks

feedback please!

I honestly preferred the map way back when you didn't have this snow theme on it =P. Anyways, it does look good but some of the custom props you have in here seem a little too sci-fi for the area currently. 

[Puddy]

The style is like TF2 and CS:GO had a baby. I think it might be a tad unrealistic to be honest. The sci-fi elements anyway.

[catfood]

Thanks for the feedback, its meant to be a "super secret" cyborg factory from the 80s that is being reopend, ofcourse the terrorists dont like this and want to blow the place up as usual.
for the props in the map I used 80s computers, factories and 80s toys as reference
but since all the machines and computers are made up I might have added a bit too much scfi flavor to it.

It's the scale of some of the props that throw me off, hard to tell how big a player would be running around there. The last shot is nice though
