Greybox Review
"needs some more texturing"

"White ... "

"thsi map is terrible there is no way to tell where you are goiing it is nothiung like the pictures and over all i would give it 2/10"

"lol this looks like a COD map"

"why roof is grey, it should be blue"

"It's a little bit off. I think that you should release the whole map because I didn't really like the greybox version of it"

@Regarding the above comments. I think it would be apt to point out that the map is supposed to be inferior to the final real thing. You can find a number of articles about games development and alpha testing to better understand what we are dealing with here.

@Team Santorini

I enjoyed the gameplay; the CT rotation is epic. Plenty of room for tactics and strategies. It is a shame you could not make a radar so that I could play properly.

The map it feels like it could be called de_dust3. Since we are all suckers for dust 2, I think that will prove to be a good thing; although personally I would have liked to experience some new gameplay as well as good gameplay. Some people like things to stay the same but I hope to find a game mechanic in the final release that I could not find elsewhere.

Asthetically, the map looks just like the real place. It will look even better with the scenery such as the mountains and ocean, but I understand the competitive direction you are taking with performance in mind and would not be suprised if you end up with just a skybox for the surroundings.

Good luck with the rest of the map, I am experiencing some challenges myself creating a number of CSGO maps at present which I intend to release in alpha stage by August; but my maps will not be focused on competive play.

I agree with everything you've mentioned (and your little plug at the end was very sneaky, not a "HERES A LINK PLS LOVE ME" but it was enough to leave me curious :p)

Lol. I hate people who post those links all over the place, it makes things so untidy. I won't need links to promote my stuff, if I did then it would not be very good would it? Nah, all that stuff is unprofessional.

My intention was as I stated that I am experiencing the challenges of mapping; what to put in, what not to put in; what kind of scenery is apt but does not cause clutter, what features are too cliche, how many connectors does my line of vision contain from here, and from there; never ending; but fun. If you have not attempted it, give it a try one day.

Nice comment aeRoBYKER #LGBT

I think this Santorini map will be in the next operation for its gameplay.

Well the operation will be coming up really soon and for FMPONE to rush this map and make it in time would create a probably disastrous result. Unless I am mistaken and he has done a lot more work then his screenshots show.
