The game has amazing visuals, and yet we get DOME which is literally just some random event on the stadium. I'd love to see a cyberpunk bar/gang hideout, robot production line, or my dream, map on big ass ship.

Dome haters unite

#

Legit what is to dislike about dome

#

Dome rocks however I do agree that having 1-2 more cyberpunk aesthetic maps would rule

delicate hare
#

yeah ofc

#

the real issue is that the game doesn't have even have an artist anymore

#

and the devs are volunteers

#

so new tilesets just aren't really realistic for the forseeable future

#

a ship is an awesome idea

#

but seriously there aren't gonna be new tilesets any time soon since GEC isn't really working on the game anymore and the game is being run by volunteers who have full-time jobs

#

I think we'll be lucky if we even get a new gun in the next year

#

the lmg was only able to be added because it was an unused asset

fair

#

I don't think they were planning on any non-cyberpunk maps tho seeing as it is a cyberpunk game

#

And for the dome hating, it is a goofy map by design. CT vs Terrorists, but whole thing is some kind of tournament on big stadium. Kinda removes the stakes, even if you don't really pay attention to it. Also reminds me of that weird turn in lore in Rainbow 6 Siege. Map balancing, i feel like it has too many elevation changes and spots to hide for defenders.

#

But yeah biggest problem for me is just weird setting

delicate hare
#

the lore is that it is a modern gladiator match between unwilling prisoners and glory-seeking enforcers

#

broadcast on national television like its Sunday Night Football

#

Map balancing is maybe a fair complaint but yeah, the dome is seen off the coast in the training scene as well it exists in the world, the attackers and defenders are a sport basically, similar to Monday night combat if you played that. It's a dystopian cyberpunk concept anyway to pit people shooting each other for sport

dome is the most cyberpunk of the maps
if anything i think killhouse is quite weird, it's a fun map, but why are terrosrists setting up a bomb in a cop training center ?
someone tell me the killhouse lore lol

boreal karma
#

basically they’re prisoners that have been forced to participate to help argus get better

cobalt quarry
#

okay makes sense, same for killdome ?

boreal karma
#

pretty much but dome is gameshow

If anything dome is super cool because it's not generic "cyberpunk". It contributes to the lore of the game more than any other map (televising this wildly violent event in a very hedonistic way, combination of the privatized police and a sham of a justice system).

It's a really really cool map that sets the tone of the game in a way that the other maps don't imo

#

C store, while visually cool, doesn't really do much tone setting besides "this is a cyberpunk game look at all the neon lights"

#

All that said, yeah playing on dome sucks. It's easily the worst tileset

yes

#

True, but I just personally feel like c store wouldn't be that out of place in your average cyberpunk game, whereas killdome is something very unique to due process

#

That would be sick, and funnily enough way back in the day there used to be a tileset called "arena" that did have similar vibes to that image actually

Once I get my computer set back up I'll go through my archived collection of ancient DP clips and leak them to the world

you can do cyberpunk thats grounded in reality

#

bring back nightclub killhouse (or just make a nightclub map overall)

cobalt quarry
#

how about a map in the slums bellow the statue of liberty (opening screen)
think of Favela in siege, half rooftops, half inside

#

Prison break/riot map in the Liberty Island prison. Environmental features could include a panopticon with switches to control cell doors/access ways

#

Also a skyscraper raid map in the downtown area would be pretty cool too

cobalt quarry
#

never saw the prison, that’s cool

delicate hare
#

if you look you'll see all the islands have walls and security towers

#

probably to defend against the slums

ivory spade
#

i think its a prison

#

think about the irony of it. a statue of liberty placed atop a prison

digital surge
#

I saw there resides dome haters in this chat 😠

delicate hare
# ivory spade i think its a prison

The main reason I don't think it's a prison is that there aren't any buildings that aren't there irl besides the towers. The towers surround every area above the slums, including Jersey City, and Manhattan, which are definitely not prisons.

#

The fact there are towers on Manhattan seems more indicative of them being meant to defend the richer and more important old city from the slums.

#

Also as a sidenote GEC are weirdly good at making accurate recreations of NYC in this game.

#

Like if you go on Google Earth every single one of those tiny buildings around the Statue of Liberty are real and in that exact layout.

#

Also Ellis Island is crazy accurate for something you can only get a good look at through a sniper scope on killhouse specifically.

#

maybe GEC wanted to expand further into the universe

#

but interesting take, I didn’t realize that

#

it would make sense

delicate hare
#

I've always wanted to know who the background designer was for this game

#

because they did so much more than they had too

#

also I'm 99% sure GEC building is on the current spot of the World Trade Center, which is certainly an interesting choice.

#

i dont think due process is really "cyberpunk". To me its more like retro-dystopian if thats a good description. When I think of a new tileset i envision a hospital. or maybe a two story old school brick hotel in the middle of a city

analog basin
#

it reminds me of that genre of movie in the 90s like robocop and dredd

runic hearth
#

yeah i mean technically you can say its cyberpunk but for me cyberpunk is like, way more sci fi and futurist

sly stone
#

omw to tub an argus enforcer

#

(police precinct could be a cool map tileset)

#

Im a big shooter for a long bullet train map. How will that work? Idk, but I think of Plane from r6 as a reference

gaunt furnace
#

A train station map could work, you could have 2 or 3 trains next to each other

sly stone
#

pretty sure there was a train map before in testing

delicate hare
#

Yeah there was

#

got scrapped

#

I think it was too linear
