Can we have more then 1 screenie?

From this it looks like you just made a flat area, then put elevated areas on either side, and threw in some buildings. But then again, it's only one screenshot D:

The open/slightly flat layout leads the map to have a lot of sightlines, which generally aren't fun to play with. I suggest adding different height variations to spice things up

Still need some more screens to make good feedback... but that sightline down the track looks pretty bad.

Looks very open and sniper friendly. We'll see in the test tomorrow. :>

Gradually taking care of that, shouldn't be more sniper friendly than pl_upward when I'm done. Anyway, I prefer Snipers over Hunstman spam.

Reduce the overall scale by at least 20%. The rush distance to the second point is on the extreme end and BLU really lose a lot of momentum. multi-stage payload maps are particularly close quarters, it helps with sentry spots, not to make snipers so powerful and save on space and entity counts for the other rounds.

I think you also don't have any HDR cubemaps.

Oh look!
A dead map by a crappy mapper just got updated!

Now recruiting Japanese/Asian props and looking for bugs.

 

[Penguin]

this map looks amazing and a half

 

[Fruity Snacks]

There's still a sightline riiiiight there.

 

[REEJ]

I like sightlines, the bigger the better.
cp_orange is my idol

More like idle, right? Because its so lazy?

Zing!

 

[DaBeatzProject]

"omg i see sightline map is bad".

play the map and then complain about sightlines. - seriously, a wide open area doesn't mean that there will be snipers camping both sides of the area...

@map author: I really like this, nice detailing!

Good luck with getting japanese props, and medieval bomb cart.
