Personally, I think it looks a bit big. I would make the handle skinnier and longer, and doing the same thing to the rocket. That the mesh faces/vertices/edges in the texture is a bit odd looking. Any possibility that there is a problem in the texture?

i probably will make the rocket thinner, i didnt expect it to be that large when i loaded it into the game.
no clue why the texture is doing that, theres none of those white lines anywhere on the texture itself

fiddled about with the texture and size of the rocket & handle. for some reason, its only doing the tron effect where it should be shiny, even tho there isnt any of those tronlines in the actual texture, and theres no normal/speclar maps either. tis a mystery!
also, its now named the Big Bang

I'm not a fan of having the words on the side of the rocket- looks a bit too silly for a weapon imo- but I really like model itself more than the previous versions.

On Hit Flaming Player: Rocket ignites and damage and swing speed increases 40% for 5 seconds
- No Random Crits
- 20% Damage penalty


Kinda like a mix between the KGB and Axtinguisher

these ideas are all better than my idea, which was to have it work as the Equalizer, but for your flamethrower ammo instead of your health. (and the damage wouldnt ramp up quite so much as for the Equalizer)

That wouldn't work so well since there's not the risk you get when running around with the equaliser. With the EQ, you trade that bonus for being one-shotted by anything.

i thought it would be harder to maintain because its pretty easy to pick up the weapons of the guys you kill, or in general just pick up ammo all over the place. but i did say the other ideas were better ;)

I've been working on a map over the course of a few months, in my spare time that I can find during my college hours. It's my first proper map, so I've taken my time over it.

I have a few screenshots of some of the areas, mainly because the rest of the map isn't exactly finished yet...

The first area, an overview. To view the screenshot at 1280 x 1024 you can click this link, or to support me by waiting through a five-second ad you can click this link.

The second control point. To view in 1280 x 1024: click here, to support me click here.

Another view of the first area, showing a hallway beneath the elevated platform. Direct link: here, to support, click here.

I haven't created any sort of skybox yet, of course, as that's for when the map is completed. Any feedback about the general look of it would be taken into account.

An interesting basis, but it looks absolutely tiny, and like it only has one route through at the start. You want to make it a bit larger and more interesting. Visuals are good for an early map, though the standard recommendation here is don't detail anything until you have a finalised layout, since detailed areas are MASSIVELY more complex to move, change the scale of, or rotate, and if you delete them you've wasted a whole load of work.

Looks alright, but the stairs in the second picture look way to steep, and I don't know if this is the map or your graphic settings ingame, but there aren't any shadows coming from the props. It makes it look unfinished.
