I had a bit of difficulty finding the words last night, but it really feels like the structure isn't a terribly believable building, and that most of the issues stem from that.

To set the scene for what I'm saying:
You have 3 main levels, the bottom level, which includes the terrain surrounding the structure and the "ground" floor of the structure, the interior balcony level above that, and the "roof". Technically, you also have the roof's roof thing too, accessed by a grav lift.

The "roof roof" is rather exploitable and is also very out of the way. A few people up there could effectively keep from getting flanked if they worked together and basically camp. There really didn't prove to be any other use for that area, I only saw people go up there to explore, rarely saw meaningful interactions, as people usually died on their way by people already there that they couldn't see, or people on other levels taking advantage of the distraction. I would remove access to that area and work to make the main roof more accessible and give players more reason to go there.

Scale was a major issue, both for some of your aesthetic and for gameplay. The pews/benches inside were the most overscaled object by far, and really made fighting around them a pain. Scaling the entire structure down to 2/3 of it's length and width (or more) would drastically change the amount of cover provided and provide the opportunity for more interesting and less reaction-time based interactions.

I also want to say to make the structure shorter, because the length of the staircases and visibility between levels really weighted interactions heavily in favor of being up top. I want to say it, because it would make gameplay better, but that interior looks really good as tall as it is. My rule of thumb is that, if you're looking at a higher elevation, you should be able to see the level immediately below that as often as possible. This removes issues like having to look straight up to see someone who is, horizontally, 30 ft away from you and makes it less likely that you'll be pegged by someone coming around a corner in front of you because you're gunning for someone up top.

Other than that, line of sight was cross map way too often. You need more line of sight blockers, all over. The level has very little segmentation and it is really hurting game play. Players were constantly getting picked off by people 100+ ft away after engaging someone right up in their face; this should happen, just not as much as it did, as it takes away satisfying encounters from those looking to play a closer game, effectively turning them off and making them not want to play your level.

I say that it doesn't feel like a believable building because it feels very much like a shell, no hallways, no rooms, just a large chamber with a balcony running around it halfway between roof and floor. It's like a boss arena from an older game, which is fine in its own, but you're not staging a boss fight. Smaller openings, more entrances, more (and more obvious) pathing between levels, meaningful interaction between the roof and the lower levels (it's currently completely cut off except for the current access point at the top of the stairs), some form of segmentation within each level (rather than using the levels to create semi-pancaked segmenting), and more free-standing structures to give players more agency to traverse and flank. If you want to go with 12 people and under, you'll also need to scale it down, a lot, as said.

Sorry if any of that came off harsh, nothing was terrible, it just wasn't as good as it could have been. It looks great and I'm really interested in seeing it play as well as it looks.

 

I would normally go right in to review the map rather than commenting on it, but i feel like this one will need some more work before i do that. here are some thoughts.

• The map looks really great and is super nice to look at! so you have that going on.
• but the down side is looking across this beautiful map and realizing it lacks gorgeous cover.
• the map is also very large and i think it could stand to either be scaled down.
• additionally we played slayer since i dont remember a game type being recommended

After some changes have been made to the cover and it plays a little better than feeling like your running around naked. ill post a review. I still loved the map it just needs a tad bit of work. i would love to see an updated version in the future on another forged friday

 

I really like a lot of the changes you made.

That said:
That's a lot of power weapons in close proximity, but it remains to be seen how it will play. Some of your "doors" are going to be a bit campy just from looking at them. Visually, some of the walls you placed don't mesh as well as they could, but it'd take experimentation for me to give advice on what to try, aside from maybe putting in windows to give line of sight back without all of the "line of shot". Big thing though, open space under staircases outside is really feeling out of place with the theme. The active camo and CE pistol seem a bit out of the way, like people will die going for them, or right after getting them, making them feel more like bait than goals; not something I expect, just something to watch for just in case it turns out to be heavy handedly so.

Again, never telling you what to do, just what I see.

Big pluses:
Scale, macro pathing, and segmentation look much better just from the short video.

Really excited to see this one come to fruition.
