gm_contrast (Old version)

Description
THIS VERSION IS OBSOLETE AND UNOPTIMISED, DOWNLOAD CONTRAST 2.0 INSTEAD: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2466651013

gm_contrast is a large, open map set in a heavily class-segregated city, the high class area takes up most of the map, with a small playable area for the poor side.

The high class area is inspired by mirror's edge and general japanese architecture.

The map is noded.

CSS Required for some props.

Some interesting areas:
Shared:
Main gate (openable)

Rich side:
Central square
Metro station
Enterable skyscraper (Tallest skyscraper)
Secret server farm (find it yourself!)
Chinatown
Parking garage

Poor side:
Canal
Security checkpoint
The wall

Here's a lore writeup:

The High Class (Precinct 7)
The West side of the Map is a depiction of a technologically and architecturally advanced city, reminiscent of the “City Of Glass” from the Mirrors Edge franchise. Its Buildings are white, clean and elaborately designed, with Sky bridges connecting smaller structures and parks full of maple trees. Roads are well maintained and citizens commonly work office jobs, due to manufacturing being primarily in the lower class section. Theft rates are low and murders are a rare occurrence. Police presence in these Precincts is relatively non-existent, or better described… covert.

The Low Class (Precinct 12A)
The East side of the Map can best be visually described as a run-down industrial and residential area. It is the hub of corporate manufacturing in gm_contrast. Ominous figures prowl the streets of the district at night. Organised crime and murder rates are almost 50x higher than the high class area. Precinct 12A is the second most dangerous part of the old city, number one being Precinct 42B, which is currently the location of an ongoing crackdown against the Karuteru Drug Cartel. The lower class area also contains many storm drains that were at an unknown point rebuilt into underground housing and stores. It is amazingly easy to get ones hands on cheap, black market weaponry.

You're in luck, for the last few months I've been working on a 2.0 version with many more interiors, more detail and playable fps, I'm just finishing it up now, it should be out in about a week or so.

I cannot seem to find the button to open the gates anymore. I used to be able to find it. I can't anymore. It has been a few months however.

you can parkour on most roofs, and there are ladders to get onto roofs. You can also use a parkour swep and a climbing hook to improve mobility even more.
