―Magazine in Villa.


Villa is a map in Arsenal that was added in the September Update and revamped in The Update of All Time. The map takes place in a beach home on a cliff surrounded by the ocean, and other islands.

Map Design

At the entrance to the house, there are trees planted around at the front, with a pool and parking garage to the very back. The road at the entrance is also a loop that leads into said parking garage.

At the front of the house, there is a la carte, and various objects laying around such as spools, wooden planks, and metal benches. There is also a broken wall to the left of the house that leads to a rocky slope.

In the main entrance to the house, the walls are colored blue, accompanied by electric fans, and white trimming along the walls, doorways, and windows. There is a seating area with couches, a glass table, and a lamp desk. There are also magazines lying around the seating area.

To the left of the entrance, there's a tiny living room painted green. In the living room, there are bookshelves, and a television. There are also potted plants on some corners of the room.

To the opposite side of the living room, there is a stairwell, the walls in this room are painted orange. There are couches, bookshelves, and desks around the room. There are also some objects like boxes and dollies around the room, alongside with glass panes. There is also a balcony to the side of the stairs.

To the right of the stairwell, there is a kitchen that has its walls painted bright red. The room has white counters and such which have blue tops to them, the room also has sunroofs as well. There are hallways from the entrance and the stairwell that lead into the kitchen.

In front of the kitchen, there is a room that stores some industrial supplies. The storage room's walls are painted beige and are seemingly unfinished due to one of the walls being blank. The storage room has some boxes and wooden planks and pallets. The walls of the storage room are also fairly dirty.

There are some rooms in the map that are accessible by breaking their doors, these rooms are listed below.

  • A blue bedroom to the back of the stairwell.
  • A bathroom to the side of the hallway near the stairwell.
  • Another blue bedroom above the storage room.
  • A green study above both the storage room and kitchen.
    • The study is accessed by breaking windows outside, at the back of the house.
  • A storage room behind the living room.
  • A small room under the stairs in the stairwell.

Outside, and to the back of the house, there is a ladder that leads up to the balcony of the stairwell, potted plants in long plots, a hot tub, and an air vent.

Surrounding the house, there are rocks, which can be used as pathways. There is also a tiny island to the side of the house as well.

In the distance, there's a neighborhood on two islands which are separated by a bridge. There is also a beach on one of the islands with a large, distinguishable lighthouse at the front.

Tips and Tricks

  • Spawns are likely to swap frequently. Like any other small map, pay attention to where your team is going and react accordingly.
  • The stairs are a particularly useful vantage point, but you shouldn't stay there for long.
  • The roof is a very strong vantage point and is usually accessed through boost jumping. If you manage to get up there, you can then jump down, and try to melee an unexpecting enemy.
  • While boost jumping is the easiest way to access the roof, there is a lesser-known path involving the storage room in one of the hallways. You can break the barricades on the window and jump from said window to the roof.
  • Shotguns are very viable on this map since the map is very closed and there is plenty of corridors and small rooms.
  • You can break numerous doors to gain access to different rooms.

Trivia

  • The creation of Villa was inspired by a single screenshot of a custom CS 1.6 map from the BSP Twitter account according to TC.
    • The CS 1.6 map's original name was de_cali-polia and was created by gizmo.
  • A 'greybox' version of Villa can be seen in a video by GDILIVES. This was also the first time the public could see the map.
  • The revamp was initially planned for Arsenal Reloaded, but was finished early, and added into The Update of All Time instead.
  • A good majority of the background has collision.
