Speedrunning friendly maps  - what should be avoided, what should be there

What are the main aspects to make a map speedrunning friendy? The most obvious is to stay clear of clip brushes which block players movement. But I'm shure there are more things. For example: can there be differences in weapon/keys/artefacts placement between skill 0 and 3? What is the minimum number of coop starts? And so on... Please share your opinion.

Hard to say.  Having an RL or GL helps Smiley

Swapping the GL and RL between the skills is probably a straightforward way of making sure the runs differ (as in msrj).

4.  But why not add 8?  Is it difficult some how?

Making a map deliberately for speedrunning is always a slightly strange thing, as so much of speedrunning is about doing things the map author never intended.  I guess having an open layout with lots of slopes and some high explosives is a good start Smiley
