its novice 2

Alvin Risk i bet wallhammers and stuff are too easy for you but not for new players

2 min moderate maps arent 1 star Novice maps

shool hook and hammer are 1* and are harder than Introduction.

if you say so it must be true

The most maps are unplayable for noobs (in novice). Because the most mappers cant imagine what kind of techniques nubs are able to play. E.g. dd-through-freeze with teles is pretty hard becuse they can't rehook in the right way. Hookthru is mostly better.

There are few basic techniques nubs are able to play:
* walking
* jumping from platform to platform
* climbing a not freezed wall
* HF at a wall
* drag somebody down while the partner is hooking the wall
* I probably forgot something

Multimap or kobra 1 is a better map for beginners for example

Make more than one way (one easier but longer and a short but harder way)

But there a things what mappers shall avoid!
* solo parts as rare as possible
* do not make parts where people have to do fast different things in a short time (bad example: wallhammer part in "introduction" )
* ...


At the moment "Introduction" is novice 2 or 3 because novice is NOT for nubs.

Novice - [School] Hook from 1* to 2*.
Novice - [School] Hammer from 1* to 2*.
Brutal - Dry Valley from 3* to 4*.
Solo - run_guy_25 from 1* to 2*.

Please, please make a Novice 1* map like this. I've been asking mappers for that for over a year.

Deen there is a little problem. I can't map :/
I can only give advices.
