[WIP] cs_mass

[Vilham]

A map I started working about a year and a half ago, never got round to finishing it so am finishing it for this contest if i can.

Hostage rescue map set in a derelict church undergoing renovation. After a getaway gone wrong T's have hostages in the back of the church and the CTs have to break in an rescue them.

It requires a hell of a lot of work to get it finished, needs a bunch of custom meshes, more playtesting and massive art/lighting pass.

Isn't on the workshop yet.

[El Moroes]

[Xanthi]

That looks neat!

​Same here. I think I playtested it before I was even registered on the forums

Looks pretty good! I think the front of the church should have a big ass stain glassed window

 

 

(mapcore cube in centre optional)

 

 

[Vilham]

Thanks guys.

Yeah Vaya that was always the intention, the front would have a unique facade. I like the core idea.

[Dayjay]

Not sure if someone else noticed yesterday since I wasn't in Teamspeak but you can collide with this window thing.

[DuongC]

One of the few cs maps I've seen entered for the contest, I hope atleast one cs map will make it to the finals

[oT.Ter]

love the brushwork in the church, cant wait to see it with art and lighting implimented

I felt that this spot should either be closed up or brightened up.

The overall underground area may be a little to long / narrow.

Really nice setting. Good luck at the contest!

[Vilham]

thanks for the feedback guys

 

@esspho yeah someone has mentioned that the ceiling is too low, will lower the floors I think and block that up with wood, then it can be a wallbang spot but not something you can peak through. Also thinking how I can make it more of a mid rotation instead of a route for the CTs, I might close off the CT entrance entirely and add a route that goes to the garden area.

I would turn the ladder area into a collapsed floor. Would improve the flow of that area.

 

Edit - I would be looking at reducing the playable area too. reduce the amount of paths and increase cover in some areas to lower the flanks.

​the ladder was an attempt to reduce the amount of areas Ts really have to watch due to the noise required to use it. However I agree that it hasn't worked entirely. The basement is trying to be too many things at once, a mid rotate and a main route for CTs to use. I think it should probably just be a mid rotation.

Basically it would leave the front entrance, the garden with the sniper alley and the flank and a mid rotation from the garden to the opposite side of the church.

 

That leaves 2 main chokes, the left most part of the nave and the ruined south transept leading into the garden
