did you get put into a game of PL_chilly and thought, “hey this looks familiar” here is proof that ICS is lazy and not deserving of a smissmas map in the game

Similarities in texture areas in terror and chilly

it is beyond a doubt that the creator has reused his level design. But what puts acceptable into lazy is the amount of shameless reuse in the map

Please note these two pictures outside of BLU spawn

on Terror (pyro)

there are 3 main and distinct texture areas at spawn

-Start of payload which is concrete

-a barren and beaten dirt path on which the payload tracks reside

-and a gra*sy side area to left of the cart

now note Chilly (scout)

as before there are 3 distinct texture areas

-photorealistic snow at payload start

-packed snow texture for payload track area

-a soft snow texture to the left of the track

please note where the photorealistic snow and concrete textures are and it is beyond a resonable doubt that ICS and his team lazily replaced the concrete texturefor a out of place snow texture also to note when the two other snow textures meet you can see where each texture ends as if he just swapped out each texture in the area

there are many more examples of brazen texture swapping

Awful texturing

im not going to say much here because well you need to see it

Payload at BLU spawn

Stairs made of snow

Door out of BLU spawn

A ramp made of snow

Why do hate this map

Its a shameless and low effort reskin with absolutley ZERO things of note. Im all for reskins when done properly but when someone just lazily slaps a new coat of paint on something, does not make it better or new

another thing to note i tolerated terrorbecause it was a halloween map with halloween spells but now that you can play terror without the spells and experience it for what it is and all you’re left with is a bad map that is honestlythe worst payload map in the game it’s fun to play on a bad map with spells (helltower), it’s not fun to play a bad map with egregious visual work

A noteable reskin that actually does well is snowcross, unlike Chilly the map creator actually put in some effort and didn’t just copy and paste doublecross with a winter theme, he went out of his way to add some character to the map and make it his own

a Greysnowmann and oliviasnowmann (speculatory)

trucks with plows

a christmas tree with a cut super sticky and a moving train

some reindeer

ice with ice physics

these little stockings above the intel

this is what a good reskin looks like, the map maker goes out of their way to drastically change the lighting and surroundings of the environment just ever so subtly to make you feel like its smissmas while also adding in their own flair to difference it from the original, not just a low effort wintertime theme (wutvile sucks btw i know)
