why did u select that AWEFUL oob area? at your spawn you instantly see those horrible textures and if u rotate the camera u see some random hills while the entire map is flat....

z map is not flat..

[LeoPhone]

it is compared to those hills lol...

[salan]

yay its in the module now, no more need to rename to betamap

we are playing a game now, will post up a replay and critique it some so people can get a feel for it.

[salan]

so for some odd reason there are yellow boxes in the starting map locations, i'll fix that ... also going to add more detail to spawn areas, left that a bit less detailed atm.  And add more vehicles to the town and more stuff around the houses.

any other comments?

[smurfORnot]

Moar splats

Splats are important:

[LeoPhone]

oh, and fix the walls: you can make them go normal even on sloped terrain.

go to spline tool -> objects -> add the wall to the list -> click the box at the top to make the OK arrow appear -> select wall mode & adjustable to terrain -> place

Looks nice salan very quaint

[salan]

wish people wouldn't compare against the other maps, everyone is doing their best to contribute in their own ways..

[smurfORnot]

well,just said that I liked it more than other new maps I played,I didnt mean nothing bad against anyone,but you will like some things more than others,with a bit work Venezia can be very good one...have to try it 2v2...

[salan]

fix walls
fix yellow boxes
add underbrush to forest
moar splats (i haven't splatted much yet)

[RoyalHants]

yeah 3v3 was a stupid idea on it its much better as 2v2 

[COHCommando]

i think its total fine as a 3v3 i love it

[RoyalHants]

much to small
spaw buff rampage

[Unkn0wn]

Ok, so opened it in the WB for feedback

Size
Mapsize is somewhat same as RTCs, I reckon this is probably too big for a 3vs3. 2vs2 would be more appropriate.

Gameplay
I haven't played it yet but it reminds me a lot of St. Lambert, except that it has more buildings. Now these buildings, in this amount seem a little too abundant. This usually has negative effects on gameplay. If you look at any relic or EIR map really, you'll generally note that most, if not all, maps have a number of intact buildings that gameplay resolves around.

If you insist on keeping all these buildings around, I would still very much advice you to turn it into a war torn city.

Looks & Feel
This is almost as important as the gameplay part to be honest.
First off, the road selection seems a bit odd. You're using a highway type road that goes straight to some unimportant town. I would very much advice to go with a more rural type of road. The one you have currently is usually only used in industrial maps.

Your map feels 'dead', there's not much going on in general. There's very few objects on it detailing a story. At times mapping is really about telling a story as well. Make it come alive. Add cars, bikes, dead stuff, cows, tractors, whatever

In the looks department, the forest comes to mind as one of the biggest things that still needs work. Even if it's a park of some sorts, I've never seen a park with just grass and a few random trees cluttered around in it. And I've definitely never seen a forest like that.


That's about it in short, keep up the mapping!

LOL...... welcome to Canada ( that's where abbostford is) The whole freaking country is like that. The number one highway in the country runs right through the middle of shit box, one horse towns.

This map could not be more accurate to it's name......roflmao
