novo88 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 This is my first map and I'd welcome new feedback to keep improving it. There's still much work to be done especially in the inside areas but basic layout and textures are mostly done. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1400852520 RA7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfearance Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 From a few minutes of game play I noticed several things. (1) I couldn't see 5 feet in front of me because there were black boxes obstructing my view. (2) As middle only adds one connection to another site it is not very valuable. Also it is CT sided (mid) which is not good on de maps. Make it easier for T side to take. Perhaps move the iconic monument towards them. (3) Rotation times were on the fast side and pretty much all involved traversing CT spawn unless you wanted to take a really slow route. (4) the area where the elevation changes is really bad. Besides being dead space most of the time it provides a cross map angle which is generally a really bad thing because awps dominate it. Suggestion: smush the two sections together. (5) the right of B (as seen from CT) is dead space as anyone going down the stairs has no line of sight on bomb Don't be too discouraged. This is a really good effort for a first map (I am currently making my first too). I just have many hours in CS and have found that big open spaces that cross the whole map almost never work. T spawn is cool nice storytelling touch. The overall aesthetic works as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novo88 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Thank you for the feedback! I already fixed the textures issue, it wasn't packed correctly sorry. I've changed the layout on the mid and the elevation area many times, it hasn't really worked for me either but i'll try to join them and find a way to avoid having one long area crossing the map. I'll also take a look at the B site issue. Thank you again for taking the time to take a look at it, it's very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfearance Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 I suspected it had to do with packing but i was scared to say anything because I am a noob with compile pal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That50'sGuy Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 First thing I noticed was the 3D grass. I LOVE 3D grass, so props to you for adding it! I even have it in my map too: Rump3L and novo88 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRuck Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 How did you make that overview :)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 This looks sick man for sure. Definitely cool to see this amazing theme and idea! Feels like if you test it in gameplay it may feel like there are too many long open streets for ct's to have strong control of. The detail you've made looks fantastic though. novo88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to work on the balance and avoiding some long angles too Edited September 16, 2018 by novo88 trevor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novo88 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Updated with many changes in the layout, especially mid and B site. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1400852520 CoconutDawg and RA7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Amazing work on the update, I genuinely have no clue how you redesign and update the layout with the full panorama map so cleanly good work. I had some friends take a look with me and the points we found were that the catwalk you made on A site might be a little too tight? The only other issue is the bomb being able to be planted inside the truck trailer might be a bit too good though the layout with the truck itself might be good. My biggest feeling is there that might be too much. As in having two floors accessible in the buildings next to the bombsites is fine, but also having the connections to mid and an underground area between the two sections might be too much? Absolutely love the work and feel put into the map! Definitely looks like something having my mates try to pug on to playtest we'd have a good time. Appreciate the work and ideas you're putting into this. novo88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novo88 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hey thank you for taking a look at it and giving me some feedback, I really appreciate it! I never thought about the catwalk issue but it's an easy fix, I'll take a look at it. The ability to plant in the truck I thought was a fun thing to do, wasn't sure about it but yeah, it's probably too much. Finally, I think you might be right about the underground passage, because initially there was no fast and safe way for Ts to rotate from A to B because mid was too big, but that might not be the case anymore so I'll seriously think about removing it. trevor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
