Marines VS Predators: mvp_ambushed

STATUS: BETA

I have always wanted to create an outdoors map with lots of trees etc so this was my chance.

Story
We were escorting precious cargo through an undisclosed military trade route. While deep in the forest the convoy was ordered to stop.
The forest went silent. No howls from the winds or birds singing.
Then they attacked.
It all happened so fast. There were screams in all directions; torsos flying through the air.
We couldn't see the enemy, we could only hear their roars of satisfaction as each man was cut down where he stood.

We have managed to push them back, but our vehicles and radios have been damaged.
It has started to rain now; lighting and thunder crashing through the sky.

We will not survive this.

The mechanics of the map
There are few things to this map. The Marines start at the opposite end of the map to the predators. There are 3 weapon cache's filled with AK47s, M4A1s and P90s. There is also an awp and 2 m3's around the corps' of your fallen comrades.

There are a few high rise points in the map to make your final stand, as well as a cave leading from the marine spawn to the broken down bunker further up the track.

Notes
The map is filled with tree and bush props and some uses my first ever custom displacement (was a good project to learn on).

There is also func_precipitation throughout the entire map causing heavy rain and some ambient generics and lights to cause a random thunder effect from 2 different sounds.

Finally, I have used soundscapes to create the atmosphere of a horrific storm both indoors and out.

Credits
Credits go towards myself and I Own A Horse, for his amazingly detailed bunker.

HnS Bring too many players, There is the Conquest server which is down, if SQL loves us, i'm sure he would work on it

This is an amazing map and I hope this will defiantly make a rotation on a server!

Some problems I found:

• Walk through trees
  
• The gun dispensers spam the guns when you get near them, this can cause a LOT of lag for a lot of players. (See below for image)
  
• Would be fun with some intense music!
  
• Light in cave tunnel not working, natural light somehow o.O (See below for image)
  
• Rocks in river have no bottom.. (See below for image)
  
• A couple of lighting glitches with the walls
  
• A flat and 90o angle moutin formation next to building O.o (See below for image)
  
• The hangars at both spawn, with flashlights they look weird, it would be cool if you added locked doors there instead of black as the flashlight can make it less authentic ^_^

Apart from those, this map is amazing, I would recommend SQL to add this into Minigames or a server of its own!

The Hangar Lighting Glitch, (Add a door there or something :P)



The cave with natural light and no lights! :O Would be cool if the lights rotated with red lights ^_^



The Gun Box Spamming when I get close, this can cause a LOT of issues for players with LAG.



Hard to see, but the mountain is flat, then straight horizontal... Needs to be fixed D;



The rocks with no bottom, these are meant to be placed on the floor as they are made without the bottom...

Hey mate. Cheers for the feedback. I have fixed the displacement near the bunker as best I could (without upsetting the seals). I also added a 1 second delay on each of the weapon spawns (only spawns weapons once upon trigger.

Added texture to the doors instead of black.

I am going to leave the rock as is, as it is to much of an issue to place displacement under it.

Also, left the cave lighting as is, as it needs to be darkish. To get the light reflection on the roof would involve a brighter light source.

Predators need darkness it's their only source of stealth, take that away and they can be seen much easier thats why 95% of MvP maps are stealth.
