CP cp_stargazer a5.4

[KatwithaKinit]

KatwithaKinit submitted a new resource:

cp_stargazer_a1 - My first attack/defend map! Hope ya like it!

A simple, single stage attack defend map. This is my first go at an attack/defend map, so please tell me what I could improve!

Plot:
BLU has setup a small communications facility connected to their satellites. In response to this, RED have made an even bigger facility to hijack BLU's satellite for their own uses. Luckily for BLU, RED have left vital equipment outside of their headquarters. BLU must capture these points to regain their satellites!

-Added a roof and pillars to B
-Updated a bit of clipping on a box
-Moved the B point sign to the back wall of B, rather than the ramp.
-Added a medium ammopack next to the metal wall on the platform in front of B

Hi

I took a little look around your map; For the most part the layout is quite good with sightlines remaining mostly reasonable. Very much a respectable first Attack/Defend map.

There were a couple things that I noticed whilst play-testing;

1; At point A you can stand on this ledge above the point, this doesn't offer much of a tactical advantage however.

1.1; Additionally at point A you are able to capture/block it from behind the same structure.

2; The sightlines at point B are kind of a nightmare for RED with BLU having full sight towards almost all 3 spawn doors from any of the indicated vantage points/spots. Adding a few props or semi-high walls to interrupt these would help balance last a little more.

All in all; Quite a good, short n' sweet Attack/Defend map, everything is sealed off and the map layout is solid. Nicely done!

 

[KatwithaKinit]

First of all, thank you VERY MUCH!
I'm glad to get feedback for the map! I've basically just made changes because I felt like it without much reasoning, so having some feedback is extremely appreciated. I'm already getting ideas.

I'm glad to know what needs changing, and also what I got right!
Overall, thanks for the feedback, as soon as I finish writing this I'll get on Hammer and start doing some work!

Thanks!

a5.1 Update!

Thanks to Average Tiddy Goth GF for a bunch of feedback, which this newest update has used a lot of!

Here are the changes:

-Properly clipped the big A wall.

-You can no longer cap from behind the big A wall.

-Added a bunch of walls and props to block sightlines from the upper areas near B to block sightlines to the RED spawn doors. (It looks a bit weird and confusing right now but it should be ok.)

-A few more...
