This is my first map ever :)
I hope you'll like it, please comment.
It's meant for small 4 person matches
Texture used is a mix of ananas and pistacja, taken from one of multitexturing tutorials.

It's pretty damn neat for a first attempt, though. But yeah, the map is a little too simple. It's not challenging anough, in a way that will just get you killed the very second you spawn. But i really like the shading. You got a good thing going there.

You've grasped multi-texturing especially well considering this is your first map :o well done.

Changing of background to black shade is too radical on the right-side of the map.

Great for a first map, but like what Echo_Trail said its to simple. Way better then my first map, im still trying to get the whole multitexture thing down, its hard for me. Im still looking at maps like Eskimo girls to try to figure it out :?

Map updated :P
Added a bridge, reduced opacity of the shadow. Zip features all sceneries and the texture.
Added a few colliders and a few minor fixes.
Check the 1st post for new download (note: the second one) and an overview

It looks really, really good. Your multi-texturing skills are already on the medium level!

This easily pwns all the other first maps we've been getting, no offense xP

If this is your first map, then you have the shading down to a science. What you need to do is to work on the placement on the spawn points. And the layout needs to be not to simple, try expanding it in a second version (if you want to) or you can add some more polys.

Oh man i feel so ashamed ^^ (to the positive tho)
Actually this really isn't my first mp :P
But the second, the first was a ctf map which was pretty bad and blocky, so i just left it for myself.

Big thanks for you all :)
(hard to believe, this map took me just 1 hour)

Hahahaha. You're putting veteran mappers into denial, man xD

I dun like the polygonal shading at the bottom; it looks too triangularly jagged, but that may just be me.

I knew it! It wasn't your first map xD

And Keron, with that I don't mean that I can't do anything similar to that xD Just that my first map wasn't like that T_T... xD!!
