Playtesters Needed for CS:S Map!

Postby Ark11 on Sun Dec 19, 2010 4:24 am

Recently, my small CS:S map 'de_archive' got to the beta stage. All the building and optimisation is done. All I need is to see if it works as a playable map. At first I tried play testing with bots but they kept getting stuck in corners and behind phys props. Since bots are useless as playtesters I need real people to test my map. I need 7 people, so including me there are 4 players on each team. If you are interested leave a reply here and I'll PM you the download link to the beta version of my map (w/ custom materials and sound). Here are some pictures of the map to help you decide whether you want to help:

BTW, the map and all other files are 11.59MB. I hope that isn't a problem for anyone. :smt023

Although I agree that bots are poor playtesters, you should really fix the nav regardless. If the bots are getting stuck; fix it.

Also, the lighting looks very boring. Get some colour in there. Aside from that it's looking promising. Could use more detailed brushwork, but I realise it's only beta.

This is good, I have a few people to help me. But I need a little more. In addition to kkirspel who I rallied yesterday I have 5 people.

If you want, I could help test.

It works out a bit nicer too, I'm a Sydney guy as well.

Ok, Frank is the last person I need. That means that kkrispel, Plague, ROFLhacks, BubbleQ, TheUnknownPredator, The Giblets of Jesus and [frank] are my playtesters. Until the playtesting begins, you can all go throught the map on your own and check for bugs, critique visual elements, etc.
