New Dukemap

[YouGotJEWD]

I built this for mulitplayer and play on YANG... let me know what you think.

Other than the Arcade, it looks kind of crap.
There are even wasted sectors out side the map tagged as doors and weird stuff.

Not a map I would want to play MP.

Welcome aboard, YouGotJEWD!

Good map you have got there. I like it. There´s good use of different colors, textures and design is not bad at all. I´ve seen a lot worse around here as the first release, so this won´t fail. My biggest complaint is lightning, however. Almost every sector has it´s own shade level that is good, but there isn´t any interesting shadows to be seen. Some air ducts were too bright and some areas felt bit too oversized. Map is good, work on it a bit by adding some interesting shadows around the map and avoid oversizing and crampedness.

It's well thought out and had good design, but seems a bit small for my taste. The lighting is also a little glary in places.

What are those weird sectors out in the middle of nowhere? What are they for?

The size and layout seem ideal for one-on-ones except the lower-left corner of the map has two big weapon stashes.

Design needs a lot more work, especially lighting and trimwork. There's a fair amount of details.

Ok, I might have sounded a bit to harsh as a first reply.
The map has good looks, but as a MP map it fails IMO.

Take that Armoury Room right above the fire truck, it has just about all the decent weapons in it, plus 2 medkits, 2 atom healths, armour and steroids.

A person could camp in this room all day and not have to move...

Thanks for the feedback guys,

I do agree the map needs some touch up in terms of cool shadowing and some added effects which could add to the overall experience.  However, I've played this in YANG with 4+ dukesters many times and everyone thought it was a very fun map.  I purposely made it a small map for fast-paced action and eliminate the ability to camp.  I'm currently in the process of polishing it up.  Thanx again.

I just came back to this topic because I was one of those 4 players and it is a very ideal map, everytime I join a game this is usally the map everyone has up.
