Well seems like s1 and s2 play very well, but s3 seems to be easier than the other ones. :/ Well the first CP actually is way too easy. If you have any suggestions on how to fix this feel free to tell me! But you can tell me other things as well (like the visuals so far and other stuff)!

be lazy and fix it with spawn time adjusting only

the map doesn't necessarily need to get way way harder as time goes on

try testing this version a lot more and see what you think after 20-30 rounds

also I really like how this shaped up, 1-2 got a lot better since I last saw it and stage 3 is really fun, good work

stage 2 is still a bit of a campfest, but you'll get it i hope

 

[LeSwordfish]

Just make and detail one stage, but run it three times with blus spawn increasing each time.

 

[Hanz]

I will detail the first 2 stages now and alter the end of stage 2 a bit, then test with a slightly adjusted stage 3 and hopefully be able to finish it after that!

sehr nice

 

[Tekku]

Me totally likes it!

Although in 3rd picture, a chimney on roof, but no signs of it inside the building?

1st shot, 2nd shot: <3 Tf2 needs more alleys. The size of the metal door is a little odd with the size of the alley it faces, and i dont see why theyd've boarded up that window instead of just closing the metal.

I'm not sure about your use of debris here. The Construction rubble doesn't fit because there's no concrete in that tunnel, and it seems odd that bricks would either be left out or fall out of the wall. Imo.

 

[Pocket]

Those loose bricks look weird, since they have the visible mortar on all edges. I wonder if it might be a good idea to have a pile-of-bricks model similar to the less chaotic pile of bricks that came in the construction pack.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

For what they are, I think the bricks work, maybe not the best way, but they get the point across and since their kinda a small detail I wouldn't think it matters. When in doubt you could expand the brick texture on the loose bricks to like .3 (x and y) or something, just enough to get the loose mortar off, yet enough that it doesn't look funny.

 

[Hanz]

Hm I'm not sure about the following:

Because of lack of time, I will probably only be able to finish stage 1 and stage 2 (detailed). Should I now submit only these 2 stages, as CP2 stage 2 is kinda the hardest cap in the map, or should I also submit an undetailed stage3?

If I leave it out I will probably have more quality map in general and gain more points, I think. But I'm not sure D:

 

[Wilson]

Never was fan of Stage 3 so i am going to vote for 2 stage map, just make stage 2 last point something awesome and done.

 

[LeSwordfish]

I actually see the point of submitting only the first two. Cram a rocket in and call it a day. But do come back and finish it plz.

 

[Hanz]

Woow stage 1 is kinda finished, this is how CP2 is looking atm, and I'm quite happy about it:

I've also decided that I will only submit the first 2 stages if I don't get everything done in time, if I have time enough I will detail stage 3 and submit it as well. Right now I have stage 1 kinda done, and stage 2 for 50%.

 

[Hanz]

Yay detailing continues. I have everything done until the cave of stage 2 CP2 now. That's going to be a hard one.

 

[zpqrei]

Lookin' good like it should.

 

[tyler]

I think the garage overlay should just be on the metal, and the stairs to CP 1-2 need beams and supports and stuff. Not a lot, idk, looks a little weird to me.

Also that bucket on the wire is silly
