Map Description

This map has a discussion topic which can be visited here

Those terrorists are at it again, this time aiming to destroy the grand courtyards of this castle. The Counter-Terrorists have had an anonymous tip and have been sent in to investigate.

This map is finally at a releasable stage, enjoy.
Inspiration from just about everywhere...
There is a chance of an etape2 down the line with better brushwork, a more established theme etc... keep an eye out.
Obviously go to the related link for more info/gameplay tactics.

Just to revive an old thread... being mine of course. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
I haven't posted updates in ages, yes I know... don't give me that look.
Things are being reworked, I'm scrapping practically everything and turning in a new 'cs_' direction, bringing in hostages and new locations with a slight twist and much better lighting.
It practically wont be etape2 anymore, it's more of an extension of what I planned there.
I'll let you hold off for screens, hopefully not for months.

Love that garden area, very lush and colorful. A cool contrast to some of the other shots. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> Nice architecture, keep it up!

The balconies on your building look like they could use some supports and perhaps you could make the railings a little thinner. Other than that and the flat tire on the car it's looking excellent. I'd also like to second Renos' suggestion for adding some height variation to the actual ground as opposed to just adding second floors to the buildings.

The architecture looks very good so far! Those pavements are a little to high. Or otherwise out of scale. They look a bit too big. Also the balconies look a bit too blocky. The little arches in picture 2 and 3 look a bit unstable. It's either the not-so ideal brick texture or the fact that they go right up to the ceiling. Or the shape is a bit to oval.

Looks like you're making progress. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I like the feel of the map - rather old fashioned - especially the second screenshot. Except for that shiny new car - it really seems out of place in this old village area. Is it just to show scale or something? Really doesn't fit.

I like how the road curves up towards the edges, that's nice. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> Buildings have cool details.

Nicely done thus far...

Well, er, the buildings aren't too bad looking. They might benefit from a bit more detail and architecture, but that's about it :P

Make sure that your buildings aren't all the same height later on in your map. Some height variation and the occasional sniper tower might help.

Love the sneaky bastard hiding on shot 1.

The reason the last map isn't detailed is mainly because I didn't set it upon a major theme.. that's the whole reason for this second version. There were many things I should've/could've done and I want to try them now in this. Besides...the layout will probably stay the same...
