[CSGO] de_eden

Hi!

This is my first attempt at a 5v5 defuse map for CSGO. I've been mapping on and off since cod2 and have tried some smaller stuff for CSGO in the past.

Right now im most interested in feedback regarding the map layout. I have started some detailing work to test the feeling of some themes but nothing is decided yet.
I've been playing around with some friends and the layout feels decent but just not 100%. So i would love some feedback!

hey there, very impressed so far. however, i noticed a few things:

what i dont like that much:

-very long rotation times (Ts and CTs) could make the game less intresting (always rushes, faking not viable etc, retakes very hard)

-it annoys me you cant go in between those blocks

-i had frame drops (from 300-170) in some areas..maybe its my setup or something else.

what i like:

+visibility, textures, theme so far, vertical elements, original architecture, layout

maybe you could add a ct upper area on the A bombsite? if the rotations are long give the CTs a better chance to defend the sites.

Maybe im completely wrong and it is quite balanced.

Starting off, I think this has a lot of potential. Mid is really interesting, similar to Mirage with the underground area emerging from under the window!  I'm unsure about how it would play though, might be really hard for CT's to hold it down since T's can come from several different angles.

I have a few more pointers.

It is very confusing where to plant on B-site. I'd recommend moving it out of the corner into a position that is marked on the ground and is more open, allowing for more diverse plant-positions. This is just a suggestion to where you could move the site.

I also think that the back of B-site feels very narrow. It might play ok, but widening it wouldn't be that big of a deal and would probably play a bit better.

B-site also feels very tight and has very little clipping. Defending from here might be considered OP. I don't really like that vent as a counter-measure.

There is also a lot of steep stairs that doesn't feel realistic, some of them causes a few head-peeks as well.

Anyways, I'd love to play this map in a playtest!

Thanks for taking the time guys!

You have given me some good ideas

You're right, I think i will remake the A-site and make the rotation faster. Not really satisfied with it anyway

Yeah, i felt like that the middle would be easier for T to take but CT have a 2 sec advantage with the best spawn and can make a gamble and drop and push mid.

That gave me some good ideas. I agree that I should make it more clear where the site is.

Yeah, your not really suppose the get up there, will fix!

 

Thanks again!
