Is this a good map? My first in awhile
« on: January 09, 2009, 09:13:04 am »
I need to work on designing maps, I can make them, but I just have no 'designs'.
I also want to know if you like my shading and scenery-ing.

For designs rule is: There are no such thing as new designs. What you do is take two or more old designs and combine them into something. So what I suggest is that you study succesful maps and starts to think what makes them good and how they could be improved/merged with something else.

It isn't as good as it could be with some more effort.

That's a bit harsh. This is at most my second map that I did. I upgraded it abit because it was obviously small.

We need a map download as well. But if you don't want to do that, this should have been in Mapping Discussions.

That's a good upgrade to the map, because first and foremost, the map in your first post didn't have a lot of work put into it, like Niko said. And now that I look at the second overview, it looks good for a HTF map as well.

and,
no, it isnt
this post shouldn't even be here.

Right, right. I forgot, I'll upload it.

pretty good concept, and if you completely invert it vertically, you have a decent CTF map

Why should I get rid of them?

Because they are not usefull, when you run bottom route you want to be safe, but moveable! Camping in this bunker is unnecessary, because you cant shoot out of it or into it, so if you want to kill your enemy, you have to wait for him or go out and hope to get him ---> slows down gameplay at bottom and middle and top route (top is too slow) will get too important
