Tip #6 - Sound👂 Clear audio cues help players understand where fights happen and react faster. Giving each surface a unique material like wood, grass, or concrete creates a distinct sound identity for every zone. This is especially important in areas where floors overlap or

Next tip: Progressive Cover Important note for this one:💡 Not every open area needs cover. Sometimes empty space adds tension, changes pacing, or gives players time to reset. When used with purpose, it becomes a part of good map flow - not a mistake. #leveldesign #gamedev

Starting mini series - Level Design Tips 💡 Mostly from my CS2 experience, but most will fit any FPS. I wish I knew this when I started making maps Important note for this tip: 50/50 angles aren’t always mistakes. Sometimes a “flip-coin” fight adds tension, forces teamwork,

Forgers! I have this old infection map that has been passed around for ages, it has a very strong foundation but unfortunately never crossed the finish line. Is there anyone who might want to help get this completed? Bonus if you think it could get done for the spooky season!

#sneakpeak DE_SPLINTER 🪵 During the last @Mapcore contest, one project caught my eye: Coalline. Ultimately the project was abandoned prior to the deadline, but I'm working with the original author, @Pav_maps and an old friend, @Itsethurs to bring it to life for @CounterStrike

I said my next map would be for Halo Infinite, but I’m busy with other projects - one of them pretty big. Still, with @Splitgate 2 out, I spent a few hours making something #HaloInfinite fans might enjoy. WIP 4v4 Takedown map. Thanks @RealLifeSpartan for testing map! Link below!
