[@SubrosianDimitri]

Which is odd because it never had that issue (or the lack of prop collision) in the 9 years I've been playing it on community servers before it joined the official map rotation.

[@OmegaRC59]

@@SubrosianDimitri I know a lot of community servers run a plugin that prevents early spawn kills and other exploits with spawns, is it possible that those kind of disguised the issue for this long or is the map that Valve shipped actually broken compared to the older versions?

[@CoolSs]

If the video is too complex for you, here is an explanation: -brutalist shapes for some buildings. -lack of visual consistency and ton of areas are surreal. -use of cold and warm light next to each other making them clash (only use one if you want it to work). -some lighting look like it out of old source map with the green hue on a white wall with sun that it clearly is cooled colored. -inconsistent theme of building shapes and color palette. -illogical lighting. -no theme. their is a principle in design. where you need to never over use some elements and stick with a theme, or you will get a mess. this map is a good example of how to mess it up.

[@Sarmathal]

This map is very old, that's why.

[@catmaster8688]

"urm, actually its there"

[@CoolSs]

@@Sarmathal that make a lot of sense, i only knew it from doctor lalve sfms. but this is a big improvement, two bad maps compared to the last few updates, where we got maps that are hot garbage or ugly reskin (imo, only 2fort invasion is the best reskined map in the whole game)

[@Sarmathal]

@@CoolSs I assume the other bad map you're talking about is Venice.

[@Iteration456-8_codename_goblin]

What this map has over Venice is 1: superior optimization, we need to learn from wutville 2: passable gameplay, the downhill point is hell for defense while last is hell for offense

I actually like the idea of a kinda greenish lit map, but it's like there was 3 guys who made this and one had a green lighting fetish and the other two were like "that's stupid make it normal" but even those two guys couldn't agree if it should have sunny warm lighting or dark cool lighting and in the end they all didn't get what they wanted.
