Aussieland

Aussieland is an attack/defend map with 3 stages, much like dustbowl.

-I am still seeking a better name for this map, any suggestions would be great-

When making this map I was looking for a different feel to each stage.
Stage 1 is simple, straightforward, set in a goldrush-like mining town.
Stage 2 is set on a cliffside, with the first point being quite dangerous due to the environmental death. 2-2 is set in a cave.
Stage 3 is somewhat open, with long sightlines, height differences and a point floating on water.

Looks good, I'll DL and take a look around while Steam decrypts the L4D2 Demo files

Edit: Attachment 1707 The spawn area was a little dark.
Attachment 1706 A good sniper could easily control this exit out of Blu spawn.
Attachment 1708 I could rocketjump above this wall.Attachment 1709I like the tunel underneath it, although it's a little low.
Attachment 1710 I would remove the glass in at least one of these windows, as the point looks like it's pretty well covered from attackers going along the main path.

Hope this helps

So long as we don't ride kangaroos all over the map, it's good.

Thanks for the input Smetzle. I'll fix that sightline in the second screenshot.
I've also just fixed that clipping issue :3

And yes cubemaps. Good or bad? I did build them :o

Should get a modeller to make you some carboard kangaroo cut-outs.

Double post my bad

Anyway ended my 20 day steam drought to have a look through this map, here are some concerns:


As smetzle said, too big a niper sightline here add a turn/ dip /rise in the path so its not one long vision.


Might be wise to add a gate wher eI marke done in red, also not too sure if that ledge is going to be a cliff but if it is, should make it bend in and out a little to add interest/ cover. Also maybe add some rocks or something down the bottom until you displace it?

This side path/ tunnel, whilst looking cool I'm not sure if it will be used in gameplay as it seems to be a long route that doesn't lead very far and is a bit away from the CP.

Too long a sightline here as well. Maybe put a slopein it so attackers have to go uphill/ can attack from above. Flat ground= boring gameplay.

Thats all for the moment, not too bad a map.
