CP croissant final

[littleedge]

Have a dropdown in the red-textured building that's along the point? A vent or something? It might make us less angry - we don't have to do a uturn as much.

I enjoy that red point, but it seems like it might be a tad open... might also be the screenshot.

 

[Harribo]

the map changed in gameday before I could write this but using the hazard strips as edging on lots of the walkways will confuse newcomers to the map. "Which parts are cap point areas and which aren't?" especially as mid has two levels which can effect capturing it with the main indication of this being the hazard strips, I'd get rid of it around the map as detail and only use it to signal the correct capping areas

This might look better if it were more round.

I don't know if this is supposed to be funny, but it seems really unrealistic and weird.

This looks a bit too flat.

At first I thought this was nodrawed and I was looking through into the great big emptyness, but it's actually a light bar? It seems really weird. Maybe put some spokes on it or something to break it up. Personally though, I would remove it entirely.

How did these containers get here? How will they be removed? It seems very weird to see them there.

I really like these! They look great!

Aboslutely love this bend from a gameplay and design perspective! You don't see something like this a lot!

Great for optimization to make something disappear, but this boat can't by anyone but snipers who zoom in or spectators who fly close!

Water seams.

The water is very thin? When dieing your body doesn't actually float and the image is not of being underwater.

The beginning of the hallway could use a light, it's a bit too dark to notice this as a valid way to go through at the moment.

I really liked the original brushwork in this!

Of course it crashes, the map doesn't exist.

(This is terrible pun, i am so sorry.)

Most of these problems are present on both sides of the map.

The roof disappears as you get closer to it.

This area doesn't look nearly dangerous enough. There's even a stone there that makes it look quite accessible as if you would be able to get back up. I've seen players walking down there and the first time I actually followed before realizing what would happen.

The edges on this side are clipped...

...but from the other they are not.

It's difficult to move here because of what seems as too much clipping.

These railings doesn't do anything. Even if that is intended it makes it seem to anyone below them as if a player on the stairs can't simply walk off the edge into them when they actually can.

What's this?

Miscellaneous LOD issues.

Thanks!

I think you've missed the point of fade distances... that's supposed to happen.

 

[tyler]

He kinda missed the point, but the fades are more like pop-ins on Croissant, which was probably what he meant. It's pretty noticeable when there is no one around to hide things suddenly appearing.

I think you've missed the point of fade distances... that's supposed to happen.

And I think it's overaggressive. If you notice then it's much.

[lwf]

It's possible to build outside of the playing area of the map, abusing the lack of clipping and hurt triggers on the blue side to get there. A demo is attached.
