Koth_oakvale - A king of the hill map for the Frontline community update

Map im currently working on for the Frontline community update , its still being worked on so any feedback or suggestions is apreciated

The detailing in this map looks great but I do wish you would have waited to get some more testing on it first. The map is mostly a straight line with TONS of sniper sightlines and not many options for other classes. It's both thin and short which became dull rather quickly. I would suggest taking a real hard look at this maps layout compared to other successful KOTH maps and redesign it to fit TF2's gameplay a bit more. Also the skybox lighting is really bright.

I will see what i can do, the thing is that im quite terrible at making layouts , and detailing is what im best at( cant resist detailing)

That's why your here! To get better

If detailing is what you are most interested in, maybe it would be better to work on a collaboration where one person makes the map fallowed by you doing the art pass.

I think i managed to get a solid layout ,one that inst just going foward and doest have alot of sniper sightlines to the point , just need to tweek it a lil bit and update it and test it again

The new layout looks very interesting, but I think the rooftops on the control point look a little strange to walk on. Maybe put a small platform on the roofs?

 

[Jeddyk]

they do look rather weird, but ill see how the playtest goes before making changes to the map such as the one you suggested (still thanks for the suggestion)

 

[Kreg]

Oh my bad @Jeddyk I meant to suggest that you should consider the platform after testing.

Some feedback, but dont take it too seriously

-A sniper standing on either of the trains at mid is able to hold all entrances
-I know its a beta thing, but you can stand on a tree at spawn and snipe at an area of mid
-the sings on the walls in the red bar are missing textures, but might just be me
-The stairs at spawn leading to a door are confusing, as they look like they might lead to an entrance
-I dont know how u feel, but i think an engie building a sentry on top of the mid roof might be op

Again, dont need to take these too seriously, just some of my thoughts

that was the older version of the map that had trains (i removed them and made a new mid) , pretty mutch the entire map was redesigned

So I got the opportunity to play this map, and a couple of things. First, I'd like to say that this map was very interesting, and I never got lost. Secondly, props around the point made it feel really closed it. Lastly, it took people a while to figure out you could get onto that roof section we discussed.

Hope that was useful and good luck with your map, I like it a fair bit.

 

[Da Froog]

Oh XD gonna go try the actual version then.

 

[Da Froog]

Allright, time for some feedback on the actual map

-You should clip these

-This still looks like it could be an exit

-Door is clipping with the wall

-Quite a long sightline

-Weird lighting

Still, these a re just some of my thoughts and you dont have to change any of these if you dont want to

 

[Jeddyk]

-New spawnroom
-Removed one of the buildings as it wasnt being used or was necessary at all
-Roofs on mid now have a platform
-Added a new route in the back of the mid buildings
- Replaced the walls in mid
- Added more detail around the map
- The mid buildings have been rezised
-Clipped every stair and almost every corner
- Added a hazard strip to indicate the capture area
