[CS:GO][WiP]de_unity[Greybox]

[Muffin 58]

Hey guys, this is my first mapcore posted map, and my third legitimate defuse map.

It's called de_unity, but I am thinking about making it based in the "mapcore offices(fictional)" where the terrorists are trying to destroy the CSGO mapmaking community by taking out mapcore .

 

Any suggestions on layout changes and thoughts before I continue?

 

Note: I don't have photo references.

 

Another Note: I am an amateur at map making.

 

Another Note: This post will be very messy

 

Here is the overview: 

(New Overview with nodraw now!!!)

 

 

And some other screenshots:

 

Bombsite A:

Middle:

B bombsite(not populated yet):

Ct spawn:

Rotates are great believe it or not, through upper mid, it takes about 11-12 seconds, and lower mid: 14-15 seconds.

 

And the 'Attached thumbnail' is T spawn

Lol no one has said anything about the map yet xD.

 

Anyways...

 

Added some nice ball sculptures to CT lobby at A 

 

 

Lots of more pillars!

 

 

And power generators at B

I'll have a run about in it tonight. Can't tell much from that overview (nodraw the top of shit man!)

I'll have a look at it when I'm home

From the screenshots it looks really really open, snipers heaven. However might play differently. Ill wait for Vaya's verdict because im running on dial up, basically atm.

Currently, middle is open, but not too open. A lot of the places aren't too big though. Have a test on it

And a lot of the areas have pillars and sculptures as natural cover.

Okay had a run about in it

 

- Bombsites are too open. you want them to be close environments the players has to breach. This hurts the gameplay in two ways:

• Terrorists struggle for a safe plant but if they do:
• CTs will struggle to check all angles before defusing

- Func_detail stairs and all pillars etc. If you turn off Func_detail in the visgroups you should be left with Cube rooms. No pillars and no stairs. how many numportals do you currently have?!

 

- Some pretty long lines of sight (one from t spawn right into mid. Without any sort of cover on either side this probably would be annoying for players.

 

-Map seems too big. According to Bot_showbattlefront 1 you have 5-6 chokes on the map which is like double what you want. I would be simplifying.

I like your brushwork btw. Cool statue thing at mid

So, addressing the choke point problem, one of the things is that middle has 2 levels, which probably adds on 2 of those points.

But thanks for the feedback, I'll try to get it done when I get home from school. (Hehehe)

Done with most of Vaya's requests!

New Bombsite A:

Middle now has T side cover!

New Bombsite B:

New/better overview

 

Please post your feedback, suggestions, and bugs!

 

Note: I added player clips
