[CS:GO] Aztec | Complete Remake (WIP)

[Byron]

Aztec Remake | Version 1.0

Description

This is first and foremost a gameplay remake of aztec. Visuals will be better, but similar to old aztec, just like how valve remade vertigo. The aim of the project is to get the layout of Aztec to a stage where it is competitively viable. The layout has had an almost complete overhaul. The bombsites and spawn positions are somewhat the same as previously (Terrorist spawn is quite different), however the passages between them, whislt feeling familiar, are entirely different. Feedback at this stage would help a lot, as I never got a lot of time to play Aztec myself, so if there is anything you feel is important to the map that I've left out, let me know, as well as any general feedback for the new layout.

Thanks to @ElectroSheep for allowing me to use assets from de_ruins!

Note: Any decoration currently in the map is placeholder and purely for navigation purposes. Do not judge the map on it's looks as this version is focused on perfecting the gameplay and layout.

The overview shows some interesting ideas. I tried my hand at "fixing" Aztec a few years ago by switching which side of the map the teams spawn on (and obvs shifting the bombsites respectively), which proved a fun experiment but didn't really fix anything. Your changes look a lot better considered. The main thing I always loved about Aztec were the battles across bridge, so I hope your timings still preserve that.

Right now Ts get to their end of the bridge 1 second before CTs, compared to old Aztec where CTs had a 1 second headstart. Will see how the current version plays, but changing timings is obviously still on the table
