[CS:GO]de_anchor (wip)

[esspho]

A belated happy new year everyone!

During the holidays I've been putting together some ideas I had laying around for some time:

Terrorists are trying to bring down a radio tower by destroying the wires holding it. They allready took one out (t-start) and just need to cut one more.

The tower is standing on the remains of a historic fort in a mediterranian environment. Transmit is just a working title.

 

I'm looking for feedback on the layout and scenario before playtesting.

Looking good, I would just like to inform you of a map I'm currently working on has an almost identical name to your new project, however I understand you probably wanted something "transmission" based as the name.  

[esspho]

Thanks for the info. I'm not commited to that name - i chose it because radio and radiotower where allready taken in the Workshop.

[Vorontsov]

If you are sure your map will be better than all of those I'd say there is no harm in picking them up. There may be multiple insertions, multiple radios, multiple concerts on the workshop but only 1 of each name will make it into the operations.

I like the setting of this map, maybe I'm just biased as I worked in this industry for quite long  If you want, I can check if I have any useful photos left from those days.

The radio tower is not only a great landmark, it's also a nice touch that both remaining cables each point to a bombsite.

Possible name suggestion: de_anchor?

The map and the greybox you've posted look quite promising, especialy the paths to B are quite interessting.

Update:

I received some really nice feedback so far and reworked the layout quite a bit.

Most importantly I removed that path behind bombsite b and instead enlarged the site a bit. Also there is a bridge at bombsite a now that hopefully breaks the long sightlines and adds some cover to that area. The connector to mid has been disconnected from ct_spawn and changed into a cistern-like room (with some water to wade through).

In addition I tryed to smooth the generall flow by getting rid of some corners and stuff that people bumped into all the time. This includes most of the arched doorways.

That's a very kind offer and I'd really like your references. Thank you! I followed your suggestion and the mapname is de_anchor from now on. Great fit!

Please let me know how you like the updated version.

Nice. Looks a bit better. You still have a hole in the ceiling in Mid. Still not sure if that is intentional. I like the arches at A. I'll take a look in game soon.

Thanks. That hole is there on purpose as it might be used for grenades and such. We'll see about that in the future.
