1.6 Cobble Shots -- Part Two

[Doodleman3]

A lot of the map exploits were removed. So that means that you get to enjoy a more smacktard free environment.

Did the sky change in the new cobble, or am I just on crack? Looks great.

Yep, it's now more colourful. (I'm very keen on colour these days)

There's no new textures or nothing just a new rail electricty thingy and a bit more grass, oh and is there a few more boxes? looks a bit to over crowded aswell in my opinion. If your gonna give your map a facelift at least give it a load of new higher detailed textured like what narby has done with aztec and inferno.

The tunnel is a bit different (I'm looking forward to the death threats), and the big bomb site is a tad smaller.



And the big sniper room has a few crates in it (you can't snipe through the window AND at the ladder at the same time anymore).



And the lighting in some places is different.



And there are few sounds here and there.



And a few more minor things that no one is ever likely to notice unless they have a degree in de_Cobbology. No one has one of those here, do they?



It all generally feels much more pleasant, 'warmer', if you like.



I could have added new textures, but remember that people still play CS because they have 'slow' (<500MHz) machines - hi-res textures AND new geometry in an already complex map would have meant even choppier play for them. If you want detail, wait for CS2.

OMFG the little box on the top of those boxes to the right of the T in the second pic isn't there anymore!?!?! Noooo that ONE LITTLE SPOT is the only reason I keep any sanity playing cbble as a CT. I'm about to cry... I'm going to miss that spot.

There are new and more entertaining places for you to hide and cower.

Those new grass textures will surely improve gameplay.

They're not new... and they won't improve gameplay anyway. Apart from that, well spotted.

Nice!!!

If it changes for better, dont worry 'bout your head!

haha - The biggest box clips into the ground in the 3rd pic

1 new box entering the CT spawn bombsite it appears also

Well done David

[zrk]

The rooves of the buildings look different too, oh and the smoke coming from those 2 chimneys, seems to me its new also.



I wonder if there are any roofedges you could jump on. that would be fun

I can't possibly vote on whether I like a map from just four screenshots. :\

Yay I just love my hiding and cowering.

Ditto, I voted for the last option :)



Still, you can vote on how ugly you think it looks now compared the beauty it was before.



That poll is doing a lot for my self-esteem!

Glad to see some changes in the maps. Now hurry up and get the game out Valve!

Why the hell is there electrical wires in the coutyard of a castle?

[Venom666]

why is a castle all empty, except fromm the boxes and cts and terrorists... maybe because it's a game?

[tspoon1066]

And like your stereotypical castle it is full of crates.
