CP Xarksmap A5

Xarksmap - A Granary themed CP5 map

First off, I know the name is uncreative. I can't think of a better one atm. The map is in a very early stage, hence the alpha tag. I think i have most of the gameplay fundamentals down. I'd love criticism of the map so far, negative or positive. View attachment 88745 View attachment 88746 View attachment 88747 View attachment 88748 View attachment 88749

Get this map onto the server to test! I'd love to try it.

it looks like this is your first map and i got to say it looks great. I see some really interesting geometry and ideas going on and i cant wait to give it a shoot. One thing though. judging by the screenshots the map has Full Bright enabled ( it should be because of hammer ) recompile the map with normal settings on so when we eventually play the map it will be more enjoyable. ( cuz full bright hurts our eyes )

I suggest not using the orange dev texture, it doesn't look as good as white or gray ones, plus they are more team neutral.

Update Notes
- Fixed some sniper sightlines
- Changed orange textures to gray textures
- Made the hazard signs around the points lower for improved gameplay
- Second point redesigned for balance
- Increased the length of the last area and redesigned some parts for balance
- Recreated a better chokepoint at middle
- Swapped forward-spawns in the middle area
- Removed wrongly placed entities (such as health packs)

Ridiculous respawn timers were noted as a big problem for players, as it is set to 20 by default. Although, as a relatively new mapper i will have to look into fixes for that in another update, along with better lighting. I just wanted to get these other fixes out as soon as possible.
