Renovations to de_lite released!

Type: ESEA News
Posted Dec 28 2009 @ 5:40 pm
Andrew "Irukandji" Timmerman
As a belated Christmas present to all, we’re releasing an updated version of de_lite following tweaks made based on community feedback. Our major focus during the renovation process was to alter catwalk and window room in a fashion that would give terrorists better attacking chances by hopefully increasing the number of potential strategies. As you can see in the screenshots below, terrorists can now gain entrance into CT Spawn via window room which will hopefully help balance the map and allow for more dynamic game play. Look below for more screenshots and a download link!





Download de_lite here!


We will once again be posting an official sticky feedback thread to get the thoughts of the community. Our plan is to allow for 1-2 weeks of PUG testing in an effort to locate and squash any bugs that may be found. A final release, if bugs appear, will be released before Week 4 of the ESEA League.

Summary: Let's take out the good parts of the map and completely ass rape it. Might be good for WC3 Mod in a pub. Go back to the _rc

"As you can see in the screenshots below, terrorists can now gain entrance into CT Spawn via window room which will hopefully help balance the map and allow for more dynamic game play."

Balance out the map for who?


If you knew how to hold A, and had a team with capable players, holding A on rc2 was fairly easy.


Haven't played the new version yet, but would you say holding B is easier or more difficult than rc2.

The map was pretty balanced already... this just seems ridiculous

Looks bad because it's nearly impossible to retake A. There's only 1 place to retake from, which is CT spawn unlike rc2 where you could go through window room, break vent and retake cat as well.

Wow this map is fucking crazy now lol! That door bellow window is nuts. and if you get into window you can get into ct spawn? lol

the old lite was good enough to be the final, changing parts of the map sends it back to square one. If you make changes like this when its already in league play, can we expect in a month or two more changes completely altering the way the map is played? The majority of the people who didn't like this map before were people who didn't want to put time into learning a new map. I may be ranting, but I think it would of been better to work on a new map instead of changing an existing one enough that it's basically a new map.

A isn't hard too hold you guys are just bad...
1 12.30.09 at 7:24am #0 cJ_B
-You can only retake A from one spot entrance

-The rotations are so far to each bombsite.
0 12.30.09 at 7:31am #0 dont_cry
I personally liked rc2 how it was, despite the minor glitchs there was. this isnt as good I don't think, good attempt so far though, i still think there can be updates to this to make it better.
0 12.30.09 at 7:41am #0 sanex
agree with many others here. rc2 was better
0 12.30.09 at 7:45am #0 ak_
has it


might even be worth it to do 1 or none in b (2 play the window room area off good spawns to cut off banana and blue door) and the other 3 in a site/hall or short.

need to scrim it before i have a complete opinion. changes are definitely radical over the other to release candidates.

Glad i'm not the only 1 that realized A site is difficult to retake. However, I didn't enjoy the double doors for rc2, should have just replaced them with a corridor or something... W/e tho may the best team's win
0 12.30.09 at 7:47am #0 muffz
just pugged on it..t side is hella fun even though the t's get to the sites faster
0 12.30.09 at 7:52am #0 Dra
you're going to have to play like 3 A,1 mid leaning toward A and 1 B. Having only 1 entrance into A from CT spawn is ridiculous. Retaking A seems almost impossible.
0 12.30.09 at 8:10am #0 jgfhjfghjgfhj
the rotation from b to cat really isn't that bad guys
0 12.30.09 at 8:18am #0 Jguar_
really bad. dont like at all.
0 12.30.09 at 8:28am #0 bLuehaT
- boxes in banana seem messy
- 1 way retake into A, conveniently through a long tunnel
- window to ct spawn seems drastic
- angles at short for ts are really awkward and difficult
1 12.30.09 at 8:33am #0 darkstarrr__DMiR


Just like the last version, if you are good at taking B, it is incredibly easy to win because you can only have 1/2 there. This map makes you play strong A because the rotation is limited.

The only way to retake other than the main backhalls is push out of window and go long or cat. Doing this is incredibly noisy, and will be watched if a team takes that site.

The idea of a quick passageway to the window is a good idea, but almost useless for CT's. You can spot it with an AWP and watch the window/door but T's can cross to either side without you seeing them. You still have no awareness of where they might be going(such as window on inferno)

Holding the retake in A will be incredibly easily for any team with at least 3 members still alive. The plants are pretty limited and if you plant for halls it's really hard to defuse, being it's a T-sided angle in halls.

Just my thoughts on it, haven't scrimmed it yet, so it will be a little different.

I am currently making my overview, one which you guys should take a look into lol, this map has potential to be awesome. I loved rc2 ( while I know it wasn't finished )

You killed the map... jesus christ.

Basically I took what I saw what you guys did and tried to make it a bit more to my liking. I dont know if anyone would like to see this map created but I bet it would be an upgrade xD <3

btw where the squeaky door is its a 2 floor deal, that hallway from ct spawn is ABOVE it, and the floor seperating the floors in a vent floor kinda like the flooring they have toward the A site in the new version.

the door under the windows would be removed to make room for that hall that leads from short a mid to window room.

Do you think ESEA should remove de_tuscan, and replace it with de_cpl_mill in the CSS S7 Map Rotation ?
No, keep de_tuscan in.
Yes, remove de_tuscan and add de_cpl_mill.
I don't mind.
