Early Alpha Map: Need Some Opinions

[omni]

I have been working on a map recently I think I'm at a point where It is playable but considering my maps in the past have had rarely any game-time (and for good reason I understand).

I'm looking for some opinions before; if at all, I continue.

Not going to ramble on. Its in a playable state technically at the moment. If anyone was to have a match on this (yeah I know unlikely) then your demos would be very appreciated.

Please don't judge just on pictures etc. it plays better than it looks in my opinion.

Thanks

What does ghg stand for?

Maybe we can play sometime on the beta server.

from screen shots it looks really flat. Do you know how to make terrain via triangles? If not i believe cusoman made i guide on youtube on how to make them.

Yes I watched that repeatedly until I could do it. I could add some but whats the point if no-one will play it, right now this map is not at all about looks and all about game play but thank you for your feedback. I understand at this time the map is plain and well yeah boring.

Awesome and vice versa I havent played NY yet.

I uploaded it to the beta server.

I can't say too much about the gameplay, as I'd really need to play it with some other people first.  Visually, the map looks way too structured/man made to use rock textures, I think.  You would either have to do a lot of work to make the rocks look more organic OR you could go the other route and switch things to brick, cement, and/or stone wall textures and make it look more constructed.

The bunkers look very unfeasible as well.  Giant, solid, blocks of wood the size of wood the size of a bus don't look natural.

This isn't a beta map but thanks for the upload.

That's a very valid point about the look, ill have a go at improving the asthetics this week.

Well, it's in a better state than a lot of "beta" maps are.  I didn't actually put it in rotation, but it's on there if you want to log in and load it manually (sent a PM with login details).  Best way to figure out how to improve a map is to play it.

It's in a pretty good state considering it's still alpha. The gameplay is great, but you need to work on the aesthetics. I'm looking forward to beta 1!

It's nice because it's preety simple like the screenshot.
But some rocks and surfaces are too smooth and doesn't look real
I didn't make maps before, so I think this is nice as long as I don't get blocked.

P.S. Is Camping possible in this map? Are there any bunkers?

[omni]

The map revolves around camping and lines. The bunkers are essential to winning from what I have played at least 2v2 :/

Vary the spawn points more, it would help to minimize potential spawn killing.

Nice one omni! <3
I love the ice jump at spawn!

Yes that needs fixing most things do they aren't simply because I released this map as an alpha and a just playable one at that. Thank you for your feedback

[BASEBALLDUDE]

When will you start working on this again? I like it and the people with whom I played this map like it too. It's a really good small map and has the potential to be a popular match map.

Never, this was a shameful display, I have (although not released) and can create much better work than this, I have absolutely no idea why i ever released this. Admins please delete this entire thread, if anyone wants to continue work on this pm me and ill give you the map file, or de-compile it yourself. Thanks for your support however

Just dump it in the map graveyard. Focus on your better map(s) for now.
