[Mellish]

This is my first basic map for C:SS. Not groundbreaking but it's a start. Your opinions? Take in mind I am a beginner.

THIS IS MY MAP ITS CALLED DE_ABANDONED_DESERT. YOU HAVE TO RESCUE THE DESERT FROM BEING BLOWN UP CUZ ITS A SECRET TERRORIST BASE. BUT THE TERRORISTS WANT TO BLOW IT UP CUZ THEY ARE A DIFFERENT TERRORIST GROUP THAT HATES EACHOTHER

THIS PART OF THE MAP HAS A SEWER AND IT SAYS STEAM LOL CUZ STEAM IS HOW YOU PLAY COUNTERSTRIKE

This is why people should never release their first maps.

Hum.. I really don't think you should go for an arena type map as your first, Mellish.

There's a lot of things you need to get better at, and the best way to do that is to aim for a more realistic setting. One with lighting, use of props and models, more complex texturing, and getting a non-clashing feel to the colors. You've got a wooden theme there in your map but the textures don't match at all.

And that's just the aesthetic side to mapping, you should learn about the mechanics of a counterstrike map. Go study popular maps like Dust 2 and such. Note that it has choke points, camper spots, close encounter areas, long range areas. With this map it seems you just placed some stuff at random.

I'd get a lot more practice before you release anything anyone's going to want to play.

just keep practicing and you'll get there

Thanks for the advice. I'm not planning on releasing anything soon until I get better anyway. This was basically an experimental map just to test out my mapping skills.
