Basalt

[Yanzl]

A bomb defusal map set in an undisclosed location in Iceland. Unsettling evidence discovered by researchers will foil the terrorists plan for world domination. Unless they can blow it all up...

The level is designed in a way that it is easy to learn but hard to master. It is compact but offers a lot of depth with clever use of effective elevation changes, boost spots, lines of sight and rigorously tested timings -- ultimately allowing players from both teams to look for encounters that suit their playstyle in a balanced and uniquely beautiful environment.

typical yanzl high quality, good luck this is a nice loking map, I like how mid has so many entrances close together will hopefully bring some variety from stanard 3 lane layouts

Really like the simplicity of the textures and the bright colors fit in so well. The map radar looks very nice. I really wanna see how the middle will work out in games. All in all a very worthy contributor!

I'm pretty Impressed with the location you guys picked. Looks difficult to work with but it seems pretty lived in. The buildings are a tad too squeaky clean for me but overall it's pretty solid. I'm pretty sure Yanzel did the ocean and as always very impressive. Found one slight no draw spot, ez fix.

More detail passes are coming in the future This is the "pencils down" version

Death Stranding as a CS:GO map? I thought nobody would do it, but here we are.

I had just returned from Iceland this time last year, so it’s great to see a map set there!

I missed the basalt cliff unfortunately, seen something similar, but not the most famous spot afaik.

Anyway as mentioned above, the building textures are too clean and make the map feel a bit cartoonish. Not sure if you planning to add decals all over or if other textures are in the works… anyway looking forward for finished product!

We've just released a big update, check it out on the workshop! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1984383383

We've added fresh grass, weathering on buildings and a bunch of other visual and gameplay tweaks.

Thanks to everyone that provided us feedback and to everyone organizing this contest!

The setting of this map  

[JorisCeoen]

I've lately been running around in this map, being in awe of the propwork that was made for conveying the atmosphere and natural setting. I just have got to say it: I think this map's visual quality has been criminally undermined. Surely, some minor interior work and certain white brushes are akwardly low-detail compared to the rest, but the cliffs with the detail props and the transparant grass is something I've actually been taking a close look at for the past week. It's rare for me to get so impressed and blown away by just a few models that I actually decompiled the map and some models to make sure I could understand just how the heck it was made. Only a professional modeler/mapper could possibly come up with such smart visual solutions, therefore wishing to applaud the team behind the design of this map.

Thanks for bringing out this map, and for being a huge inspiration for my current project
