Detail should be ideally focused around areas of interest, and unimportant areas would ideally be bland.
[QUOTE=GameDev;37173955]Lots of detail =/= clutter
Unless the detail affects gameplay[/QUOTE]
As long as it's not attention-drawing details, it's not a problem.
It's a problem when players start to get distracted by the pretty lights and colors, or if gameplay-related things are difficult to see among the visual noise.

I thought that one of the bottles on the floor was a weapon a few minutes ago.
Sentry and I got killed because of it.
[QUOTE=DemonDog;37172316]Makes me want someone to repurpose the map so the bus is a payload.[/QUOTE]
I was thinking more along the lines of having it be like the Catbus from the MarioKart deathmatch maps; as in a vehicle you can hop into whilst Mute City from F-Zero blares in the background and the Lucky Star girls dance on a billboard. I remember those MarioKart maps kinda fondly.

How the fuck
Bottles have been in maps since release

Can't wait for it to work its way into SFM.[/QUOTE]
I knew I wasn't the only one expecting Deus EX SFM shorts.
I was hoping to hear this play over the game.

It's pretty dark and confusing there.
I'll get used to it though.
Usually bottles are on bright orange sand.

Hmmm.
[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;37174201]Anyone no-clip through the map, see if there's any more of those pictures, like in Foundry?[/QUOTE]
There are none.

Instead, TANKS.
Am I the only one who thinks that "koth_soho" name was better?
Best map textures ever.
I swear I heard this sound at beginning of this video highpitched in this map

Yeah i was right it plays the sound from source sounds.gcf
I friggin' hate this map. Same goes for sd_doomsday -_-
I like the textures in this map and the city style, but the feel of the map doesn't feel right. And it's damn confusing.

There is nothing wrong with Doomsday, but the new map is still somewhat confusing for me -_-
And it reminds me on one of the maps on a BlackLight: Retribution somehow.

... True
This is obviously a TDM map, but a lot of newer maps are just TDM maps. There really isn't a problem with it being TDM either. It's a very pretty map, I have a lot of fun on it.

What?
[QUOTE=Rammlied;37184969]What?[/QUOTE]
Bringing the absurd elements of comic canon into maps which are normally subtle. Completely breaks immersion, and isn't particularly funny.

Comic Canon and game canon are the same

"We're sending poopy joe to space!" as the rocket plummets straight down into a building. "...oh..."
I thought that was pretty funny the first time I saw it.
It's goddamn hilarious, that's what it is. Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise.
That trumpet sound makes me smile every time.

Shooting a rocket at the enemy base is funny and fits in. doesn't need to be Poopy Joe, though. Seemed like references for the sake of references. Totally contrasts other maps where very little explanation is given.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;37185097]Comic Canon and game canon are the same[/QUOTE]
the comics are such a completely different style of humor. Mixing them has bad results.
I'm in love with this map, so fucking easy to get near the capping enemies and set em on fire followed by flares/aux hits.
[QUOTE=DelBoy;37173090]It's a good thing TF2's travelling to more countries when it comes to maps. Now you can wear those Asian styled hats and feel like you're part of the artstyle.[/QUOTE]
It's not like James Bond ever ventured into Japan or anything... :p
Fuck James Bond, Austin Powers is the shit.
And I am sure as hell he went to Japan.
also imma try this map now.

this is actually true, if the tf2 universe didn't have the humor that is considerably forced into the game and maps, i would be more immersed into the artstyle and atmosphere
poopy joe is retarded
