Hey guys, I'm new to mapping but anyway here's my first map that I made for the server. Enjoy !


The map has SEVERAL places to camp but I believe it should be balanced enough for the zombies OR humans to have a equal chance to win depending on luck or skill.

I downloaded the map and took a look through the spots and passages. I think when you spawn in the map it immediately looks very full. Its a lot of different buildings and structures to take in at first, and the walkable passages seem very tight and narrow. I could see this being a lack of space with 60 players, maybe not as much with 40.

The spots are mostly new combos, which i like instead of the the very common box layouts you see on all maps. But gameplay wise they are to 90% all the same: tight crouch spots to enter. I personally love to take those spots on as a zombie if there is one or two on a map, but this is about 30 of those here.
But for most players those spots are almost impossible to penetrate as a zombie. Some of those spots can also hold too many humans in my opinion, those lengths could be shortened a little.
Others are built very unfriendly to enter, requiring a small jump to enter instead of regular crouch walking.

I also saw a couple of interesting ideas, for example one of those metal houses at spawn having some kind hurdle obstacles that you need to jump over, and even some of the crouchspots seem cool. The four rooms you created seem very interesting, but its again very narrow and clutched in, with a bit more space they would be more appealing to me.


I hope you can relate to some of the criticism and concern i have about the map. Would be cool to see improvements in both your first map here, as well as maybe the next map you decide to create for this community.

Ps: i really like the map layout from outside, as also shown in the screenshot. A very german map

I appreciate the feedback and I'm definitely taking everything your saying into consideration for the next map. I'm going start over with a new concept. If you have any other suggestions that you would like to see in a map, feel free to let me know !
