A bomb defuse map which takes place in some desert slums. A simple and fun map, great for 5 on 5 matches. Includes intense close-quarter combat and map overviews (because I hate it when people don't include them :P)

I'm going to tell you right now that the brush-work is not A+. I'm still new to GldSource, and this is really my first map I took seriously.

Hoping for constructive criticism as always!

Oh crap, you've come pretty far already!

This map from the screenshots reminds me of the Favelas from Modern Warfare 2, I'll have to test it out later.

Not a bad map! I played 3 6 on 6 matches with the Counter-Strike bots.
There are a few things I would like to talk about though:

+/- The textures suit a desert-slum environment, but it sort of gets boring after a while. (Make the buildings more interesting?)

+ Like how you can go on the rooftops and battle. I have been killed twice by people jumping off the roofs on me.

+ The layout is great, and your right about it being intense, especially in the narrow alleys. But...

- Some of the narrow areas that you could use to flank people are cut off by either an air conditioner (or what ever) or another building.

- The Auto-Shot is kind of overpowered on this map due to its tightness. Try to make more areas open as to not have a shotgun heavy map :)

A nice map, I have to say. 3.5 or a 4. I'd recommended it to people who like fast and tight maps.

A VERY good, thoughtfully-constructed bomb defuse map! Looks like it would be a fun layout to play.

Just a couple things i noticed right away after quickly running through:

-There are some spaces--at least one place by a group of those plastic crates--where it looks like you can squeeze through, but you can't. If this intentional, disregard.

-Vary the height of the walls and buildings around the outer bounds of the map to make it look not like a box and more natural. For that matter, i would alter the perimeter of the map to make it NOT a square.

-obviously all the stock cs/hl are shite, i would port one from source or make a new one

-ambience? Even if you can't think of good sounds to add, almost ANYTHING is better than pure silence.

-texturing on the whole is not bad at all, but i would try to avoid using the more recognizable/bad original HL textures, like that wood plank. (i wish i would follow this advice on my own maps!)
=)

All told, a very solid map that is easily improvable to make it a first-rate map. 3.5 rounds up to a 4. please pm me if you add anything and i'll re-rate.

Yeah, I sorta pre-maturely added the map. It's supposed to have ambiance, the crates are pushable and there are random stuff like wind chimes and rig and ding. I uploaded the wrong version lol

The layout is not bad, but work on your lightning and texturing. That grey texture is not-done.

Played a few 2on2 matches on this map.

T gets almost faster to left bombsite than CT, and nade-spamming from the T spawn makes it easy for them to plant the bomb safely.
Fun map though if you use AMXXMod with plugins that restrict you from buying more than 1 nade of each type.

It's never too late to rename the map or to upload a new version
