Re: de_train_b2 for CS:Source! -
25-02-2005
Just got finished playing a few rounds on the new de_train. I somehow get the feeling people aren't going to be too happy with it.
For one, the lighting has changed quite a bit. They've also added a few nooks and crannies here and there that you can hide in, potentially changing the flow of the gameplay on the map. There's also a bathroom by the Terrorist spawn, at the top of the stairs. o_O The list of changes goes on and on, but those were the first things I noticed. Besides those, minor things have changed mostly for aesthetics, I presume.
All in all, I wasn't too impressed. Am I the only one who thinks the CS: Source maps appear a bit...generic? I mean in CS, almost every map has its own *look* to it. The textures, the layout, the overall design. The CS: Source maps look to me like they got one guy, put a pistol to his head, and forced him to pull an all-nighter mapping official CS maps for Source.
I don't know, maybe I just like the originals too much. The new ones just look too phony to me.
