kz_kzlt_village2

Status: Denied

Reasons:

The map has one big problem. We found out that it’s ripped from another cs shooting map. This is totally unaccepted by Xtreme-jumps standards and due to this reason the map needs a totally remake. But, what follows here, is written strictly to what the map has and has nothing to do with the fact that it’s ripped.

- the jumps : Those jumps bring nothing new since the first village map. In fact, they're pretty much the same we saw in the first map. Taking into consideration that the map is kinda long and the jump’s structure makes you explore the map in circles, it just gets you bored and confused. You just don’t have variety at block jumps and this thing is absolutely not good for a long journey and for a second version of a map.

- the textures : All in all they do look good, but what is not good, is the fact that they look the same all the way. In a kz tag map there needs to be more diversity. As I previously stated, you get confused really fast. You have moments when you think that you already been there. This is the only new thing in the map.

- the architecture : Same problem. This is another version of your village maps, and we obviously expected something new. After we passed from that tunnel, we were expecting something different than we saw in the first map. Don’t get it wrong. Overall the architecture is good, but since this is another version, we expected something new. It’s about the general look of the map. It needs a new concept.

- the environment : That fog is really nice, but it’s not enough to balance the atmosphere, in order to make it look good. You have to many mistakes, as I stated above, and that’s why it’s hard now to fix it.
