interview: aztec 2

[raging dragon]

looks really nice!

[Whisper.]

I read the interview and I still cant see how cover for planting the bomb is going to be instituted with the map in its current configuration.



Bombsite B is very de_chateau B bombsite like and Bomb Site A is mot much better and the actual plant areas are raised up a little from the surrounding area, but sucken down compared to rest of the map.



I will enjoy seeing the Mapmaker using his imagination to dig himself out of the hole (hehe) he's dug for himself.

I just love the way it plays, I love the tight corners and the tension when you don't know what's going to be coming through that door. To me, it's the best of all the official maps -

I'm of much the same opinion.



The lack of play quality maps such as backalley gets because of it not being de_ is one of the reasons I'm critical of leagues. They really have a rich pool of maps, but refuse to leave the shallow end (de_maps).



I'll throw out a challenge to any mapper. Create a cs_map or as_map of the calibre that it will not only see play, but be an offical map by Valve's standards.

aztec = nub, aztec2 = uber nub

[trustno1]

is it just me, or does this map look a lot like chateau?

[poopcrap007]

Where and when to get it? It is good to discuss but it is better to play!! C'mon, Narby.... do not tease us, give us to taste it!!

[Thortok2000]

DE maps are cool and all, I'm just tired of playing the same ones over and over and a couple of flaws can totally ruin a DE map.



CS maps and AS maps are much more interesting, and ES maps are lots of fun too except they need to work out some bugs with ES.



At this point, I very much dislike playing on dust, dust2, or aztec, not because the maps suck, but because I simply get tired of playing them 90% of the time.

Oh well it will mostly suck for the noob who made it cause it will get overwritten. :)

well afaik if the map is official it will go in the CS cache and be ignored if someone has the old one (not by narby) :p

we really need new maps, hurry cl30f!

Personally, I think PC's are good enough now to warrent r_speeds of 1000 upper and 800 average. Surely it's time to raise the limit after 5 years.

I thought the 600 max was a limitation of the HL engine. Any higher and it get's a lot slower.

Yeah that's funny, it though it smelt like a really low end one aswell, that has been overclocked to match the speed of my morphy richards toaster :O

In addition, I'll be updating aztec with some server CPU optimizations and removing rain to make demo reocrding during league play easier on the FPS.
