the only thing that got me thinking was all the explosive barrels next to the rpg. if all the barrels go off then it may cause a stutter in gameplay, but i am guessing you compensated for that with having a smaller map. my advice or stating the obvious.

oh man, this map is crazy action! I'm not sure if I like the huge amount of props everywhere, but maybe that's part of the FTW! theme. I love the ceiling in that one room, with the fence/grate looks like it's holding back a bunch of rocks.

Now awaiting dm_lmao_missiles, dm_rofl_copters, and others...

tee hee!

mmmhhh sry to say it valar but i think quantity = not the same as quality. i cant see in youre time ,but i think you are going to fast. bloom is realy nice made, remorse is also looking good but also a little bit less then bloom,but this one well it has not the nice schapes/detailing/atmoshere i am used off you. its mayby a fun map to play ,but i know you can do allot better then this one.

good luck

I don't care how it looks. I care about the gameplay. As for this, I think it would make an excellent 1v1 map or 2v2. I can never really tell how good an actual map is until I scrim on it.

i just knew someone was going to meh about the lack of details on FTW. lol.

but seriously, FTW was done in a few hours only for fun. nothing too serious.
i completely dissagree about Remorse looking less pretty than Bloom. those are two completely different styles and atmosphere. but i respect ppl's opinions. another thing to keep in mind...Bloom was not really meant as a competitional map but more as a homage to the Ravenholm chapter in HL2 while Remorse was all about competition and fast movement.

thx,

Well, love your maps Valar, but we play tested this one with about 12 players on my server and it was a thumbs down by all.

General feeling was basically that the map did not have much, if any creativity, plain textures, too "blocky" in connectivity and somewhat boring. Sorry, like I said, we normally love your maps but unfortunately, not this one.
