MP_DesolationAlley Almost-Final Beta (Screens and DL!)

[SoftChicanery]

Well, it's sat on the shelf for long enough, so I dusted it off and polished it a bit! So here it is! After working with this map for so long, I realize I'm more or less used to it, so I'd like some feedback from people who DON'T know their way around the map on anything from areas that could use more detail to bugs in gameplay to any general suggestions you might have.

SCREENIES FIRST!

Looks cool, I'll download and leave some feedback!

Feedback: Level has great atmosphere and a fun layout.
As a suggestion, it would be interesting to see each spawn area either
elevated or lowered into the floor. This would allow for the players to not
be within direct view from the spawn (or the sniper if playing Annex). If
you were to elevate the spawn points, adding some static mesh across the
middle (like a broken overpass or decorative bridge) it would also help break
up the direct view from spawn.

A minor suggestion but it might help the flow of battle as players charge out
of the spawn at the start of a match! Cool map, let's battle it up sometime-

I like the sound, postprocessing and theme a lot but the layout is very weak. Just a straight line? How is there going to be interesting gameplay? You only have two options: rush for the sniper rifle or wait for someone else to do it and shoot them. You should add multiple stories and perpendicular streets. If possible make it so people can go inside the buildings and go up some stairs to get to second stories. Ideally there would be bridges above the alley people could run over and fight from.

I agree with Thaur in regards to the layout. I thought that you were
already set on this layout and just wanted to suggest the change in
the spawn areas.

This map would benefit from utilization of the z-axis, even if only in
a subtle way! And, I agree with Core2TOM... was a new thread really
needed?
