mapsux, ect.

The last point is good, the second is quite good, I dont like the mid at all, and the lower connectors to mid feel all funny and disjointed. I'd say go for a completely new mid, but apart from tweaking the size and positioning of the connectors, its doing pretty good.

 

[Prestige]

you aren't using dev textures I think it needs more signs
you get stuck on this building this sign looks weird
some of those sightlines look bad
looks good

 

[Snacks]

Needs more dome.

not redoing mid but removing the unused 4th lower path made it feel more simplified (imagine this on both sides, it covers a significant portion of middle)

also the middle is never going to be hills so soldiers have walls to do splash dmg from

needs more Pauly Shore

Haven't worked on this area. Try to see if you notice what's different.

It fixes the uturn problem and allows the windowed rooms to be simpler

I had a really fun time on this map, but the name is a bit misleading. The Biodome was a experiment where they created a giant environment inside of a glass dome. So why does it look like it is in the middle of a desert? It should be a alpine theme. Plus the Biodome was completely sealed from the outside, so maybe you should put some metal doors on all the routes going into the mid.

Also, a gameplay issue, the mid point is SUPER unprotected, I'm not saying you need walls and such, but maybe some waist high walls. Also you know the end point in badlands? you should make the final points like that. BUT KEEP IT SPY CAPABLE.

I think I just artgasmed.

 

[Psy]

Why don't you just merge the CP with the two ramps (one at 90 degrees, the other at 45) into one ramp?

a5_pie coming in a bit, fixing some things that bothered me. Sunday will be the latest.

I haven't been working on this much because i've been waiting to see what some supah1337pr0es think about it. A cool friend of mine asks if they want to pug it, and no one usually wants to

My family is going to come over within an hour of this post, so if I have time I will upload a5_pie

todo list:

displace middle so it isnt alot of ledges
lower midfight spawntimes
fix announcer being silent
scrap the 2nd tower and make it in the middle
replace items at 2nd
have an idea to merge 2 of the paths to last so itll be less hallway-y

i didnt get a good view of how last is like because once you capped 2nd last was a roll
