[WIP]de_stage

[olaund]

de_stage is a bomb defusal map set in a industrial centre with multiple storage facilities. A mercenary group has been paid to remove the central warehouse because of recent decisions by the local government to transform the area into offices. The mercenaries have been contacted by an extremist who is against the modernisation of the heavy industry. The local task force have been informed of the attack and are sending in a swat team.

The map has been in development on and off again for the last 2 years and I have used this map to learn how to master the hammer tool. My goal was to create a smaller type of map in contrast to the usual 5v5 defusal maps and I feel I have accomplished that goal. I have heavily modified a local structure as the main warehouse and much of the central building is inspired by it. I haven't used any custom textures or models.

Here are some pictures, more can be found on the steam workshop page.

Heyo! Saw this has been sitting uncommented on since Friday!

I can see splashes of overpass, mirage and nuke in there if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure about the tall flower border inside though?

I think you could probably work in a bit more detail to make it feel more realistic. There are some quite large walls of repeating textures which feel bare.

What are the timings like?

Hello and thanks for the feedback.

Yes there are some splashes of different maps like mirage, nuke and cache etc... I agree that the flower border inside needs to be more fitting of the enviorment, but it is just an placeholder for now.

I am currently texturing and detailing the map.

I tested the timings yesterday and created a radar overview of them.

A site kitchen: 10 seconds
A main: 11 seconds
Lower B through CT tunnel: 11 seconds
Lower B through yard: 12 seconds
Yard: 6 seconds
Construction through A: 11 seconds
Construction through yard: 11 seconds

As you can see, all the meeting points on the map are reached within around 10-11 seconds, with the exception of yard. The CT's have an advantage of 2-3 seconds on the bombsites of setup time.

if you use "bot_show_battlefront 1" you can see all the contact points across your map. help paints a picture of the CT/T map control divide across the map!
