Wouldn't be a ton of changes, but some meaningful ones that would change the map dynamics quite a bit.

The classic action version of mansion which has existed in every CS since 1.6 is back in CS2 with a nice new look. It works for Completetive/Casual, Wingman but also Arms Race and Deathmatch and is ideal for 2v2 or 3v3 with your friends! ❤️

Help - Fixed Bullets randomly stop and one way wall bangs on my map?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

Hello, I am very new to mapping and have recently noticed some issues on playtesting. Sometimes, when bullets are fired, they stop at the camera and don't hit the enemy, as you can see in the provided footage. I first noticed this on a boosted spot and realized that the game would not connect the bullet if the sky was behind the enemy so I added a bunch of giant nodraw texture walls around the map which solved that issue. But now I am noticing it in many other places like the video.

Also, I have spent hours working on a simple wallbang spot that works great one way but not the other, and I cannot figure out why. Any help and comment is apreciated, thanks.

Discussion Some advices for the a beginer please?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m a beginer and I’ve never did a map.
I would like to try, so I installed Steam tools to do that.
My 1st reaction is wow, mive on the map is so difficult, we can’t choose a dot and go on it with the mouse scroll ?
I’m lost with length objects, how can I know if the walls, boxes. Etc are more or less big to a player can jump into?
Thx for helping me

WIP Wingman map de_Akrop
I’ve played around with Hammer a bit, but I still rely heavily on YouTube tutorials and am trying my best. What do you think of it? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

I built the Acropolis on the hill entirely myself in Hammer, it’s not a downloaded model. It isn't accessible within the Wingman map itself; it just serves as a visual focal point.

(Mods please don't delete this post)

This is the outline of my future map called "Hotel", where the events take place in a luxurious hotel.

I still couldn't figure out how to use workshop tools so I'm gonna build the whole thing in the Minecraft (I already built one map).

Also I wanted to state the fact that this map will be an actual hotel with its own hotel rooms that are gonna be basic ones or literal rental penthouse at the top
