de_Aztec2 Preview

[CSN NewsBot]

Fragbite has a lengthy preview of de_Aztec2, created by Chris "Narby" Auty, and analyzes all aspects of the map. From chokepoints, bombsites, routes, spawn point locations, double door placement, bridge rooms, and more, this preview has covered it all.

The map is playfully designed and invites to both jumping and creative positioning. Despite the multitude in routes to choose from when navigating the map it's real easy to learn the basic layout thanks to some real nice architecture which creates lasting pictures in your memory. It is important that it is quick and easy to learn the map. That makes it a lot likely that the community will really accept the map as it's released. Most people do not have the time nor the desire to spend any larger amounts of energy on running around learning a new map.

Along with an elaborate preview, this article contains convenient pictures to accompany the wealth of information. There is much more to be read and seen, so get to it!

enough previews, release it already!!!

[Pharlap]

no! keep the hype-machine rolling!

Cool, too bad it will not be played anymore often than all the other new maps out there.

[SteelV]

when are we getting this map?

[Jocky]

well they way things are going this map will most likely be enjoyable for me...i havent played the new maps all that much ...but i have enjoyed them...its just the trouble of finding a server with a low ping that is the problem...hah

[bleek]

yeah the new maps are good, its just many servers don't seem to wanna play them much. I have a few servers that have all the new maps in the rotation but I've only played them a couple times. Think most peeps don't wanna learn the new maps and just like sticking to the old ones where they can find their fav camping place and hide like lil whores.

Now that we have the new CZ hosties, I want more cs_maps

[Ava3ar]

I recon if it does go official (as in included in the GFC) then it will be CZ only due to the use of texture

I'm sorry, but theres waaaaaay too much crap like ads and such on the sides of the page, its obnoxious as all hell.

Hopefully this will be played, because it looks very good. The problem with most new maps (aka any map released post 1.1) Is that they all suck, horribly. They are all either unbalanced, poorly made *cough cough* de_torn, or just a plain rip off of another map. de_storm is almost the same style layout as dust, just darker with 2 extra routes, but its still just a tunnel, and an underpass. Perhaps this one wont be bad though.



Long story short, aztec2 = looking good

all other new maps = suck

[bleek]

bleh, i disagree. I really like de_sienna_cz. Its a really simple layout I think. There are only 2 routes you can take but at each bombsite there a bunch of places to go hide or peek out windows and stuff. Vostok seems kewl but I haven't played it enough yet.

[JRules]

You just need to find the right server some play the new maps a lot. Will this map be released through steam or you have to download from narbys site?

So pay the $4 or whatever it is now cheap basterd

Vostok is too complex to be a good CS map. I don't really have the layout down and i have run around it a bit and played it against bots. Aztec 2 layout i got down in 5 minutes, same with sienna. Two good maps layout wise. Hope to see aztec2 do well in CAL.

EDIT:



having read the article, kudos to the writers. Not only are they articulate, but they actually, *shock*, have some damn idea of what they are talking about. possibly one of the best map reviews I have read in the last 2 years.
