fy_plybox introduces a new and exciting environment for Valve's Counter-Strike: Source, featuring fast paced rounds that take place inside a warehouse specially designed for close quarter combat. The map has a uniqure feel to it and an extreme attention to detail, further enhancing the visual experience. One the other hand we have the gameplay experience, which can get very tense at moments when you're the only one left and knowing that your enemy could be right around the corner. Your victory is not only achieved by skill, but also by choosing the right weapon for this kind of combat and keeping yourself constantly moving.

About the map

The map supports maximum 24 players, since it's very small. You play inside a warehouse, specially designed for close quarter action.

Looks very nice, reminds of Killhouse from COD4.

this.

Looks cool and reminds me of Killhouse from COD4 aswell...

Not liking the name tho, aim_ would have been better imo.

I fail to see the extreme attention to detail, prop boxes hardly add any detail

As he speaks that you have to chose the right weapon, aim is not good name^^ They only consists of 3 weapons mainly!

Also the map looks nice and clean but I would not spend too much time on advertise it as new and exiting, cuse it has been all done before.. Though I am sure that you could keep that theme and do alot more cool architecture stuff

I was planning to do something bigger with the same theme somewhere in the near future.

Uh I edited a pic a bit to show some changes you could make.



In a lot of Valve games, multiplayer maps focus on keeping player attention in the playing area. The bright red supports might make the ceiling needlessly detailed and distracting. It could blend more with the ceiling to keep attention in the playing area. Also, the stripe which was on the top of the wall was moved down for the same purpose, altough it could be moved in level with the catwalks if players are allowed on them.

I think the overall greenish hue was slightly unattractive, it was probably created from the light bouncing off the floor. I added an orange tint, you could add an orange tint to the light to help prevent the greening effect, or use different textures.

Aesthetically speaking, I think the composite board walls are too thick to be realistic. I think it might look more realistic if it were drywall or concrete. It's your call, though.

I like the geometry and the supports look cool. I hope to be able to play it some time.

Thank you a lot for the feedback. It's really something to think about.

Originally the red was even brighter and more distracting, so I had the brightness and saturation decreased a bit. I think I should have kept the first texture, which was white. I have to say, the orange stripe does look good when the structure is white.

I don't know if I'll change anything on the current map, but I will definitely apply some of your tips on the bigger one.

Looks good. A smoother/more neutral concrete texture on the floor might be better. Bigger, especially wider, would probably be better for gameplay, and the crates and catwalks are a bit of a tease without being able to climb on them.

Definitely needs to be BSPZipped.
