dm_luno - Contest Entry

So this is my competition entry, dm_luno.

Info:
I started making it with no intention of entering it but as it progressed I thought what the hell and decided to submit it.
I guess it has the theme of some kind of warehouse/factory although I do intend to change the look of the map a little in the future.
I focussed on mainly making it suitable for 2v2 or 3v3 matches with gameplay being the highest priority however, I think 1v1's and 4v4's are probably playable here.
Valar has gave me some tips on making the map look better but I thought I would post this beta here now hopefully receiving some feedback in regards to the layout and weapon placement because I would rather sort that out before attempting to improve the map visually. Any suggestions for the map aesthetics are welcomed though.
Thanks to Shoobie and Pig Popper for help with various stuff!

Taster Screens:

excellent work.
i've given you elaborate inputs already...but screens show more of it - wall, floor and ceiling textures can be much better.
i liked the outside area a lot.

keep it up man.

val

It's been a pleasure working with you on this map. I sure see potential.

Great map!!!

Come to think of it I don't remember adding many frag grenades... I will have a look at that.

I really liked this map when you showed it to me, although i never liked the pool idea you used in it, imo it disrupts the flow this map has.
Something I'd like to see would be a more detail, identifying maybe an overall theme to help bring it to life. But as this is your 1st map I'd understand if you moved on to other projects, mapping is a learning process after all, and im sure you've learnt loads from this 1. Well done, nice map..

Now I'm impressed

My only big criticism is that it looks very grey, other than that a very good first one.

For a first map, this is very very good. I agree on the pool getting in the way. Also I think the flow of the map could have been made better with some changes in layout. Also your lighting could have been better in some places.

i dont like punishment in games.
i dont like water being part of the gameplay in games (just as i don't like fire being part of the gameplay in games)
other than that - awesome work for a starter. keep this sht up brother.!!!!

Maybe it's made bottle necked for a reason ;D Flow might be good but on all maps all the time it gets boring. some times a bit different game play with slower pace can be awarding. See it as an improved lockdown.

I will have a rethink and try to redesign the RPG room. I do agree that the map is pretty grey and I am hoping to completely change the look of the map when I get chance (including the lighting).
Thanks for the feedback though guys!
