Hi guys this is my first map

I would appreciate comments and constructive critique

You can try the map on our server (UK Based) @ 82.136.20.15:27060

Its about 70% done and requires more decoration.

Many thanks.

The outside especially looks pretty original, but I don't think it's very polished yet, as you say. What's with the huge strip of yellow light?

As Cassius said, the outside looks original, but not polished that much. The indoor looks like it should be a little more claustrophobic -- add more office cubicles. The ceiling height is fine, but I'd figure there should be more junk to walk around in an office building [addsig]

Thanks guys.

I've just compiled beta4 so I'll test it and post it up. The yellow light was the sun, it was filtered through the other buildings. Thats changed now.

I've added the ability to disable the lighting in the building by shooting transformer boxes outside. Also changed the lighting slightly to be more subtle.

That looks really awesome! Ditto on the lighting in screen 4, though. The contrast is so sharp it looks like a misaligned texture. Everything else looks really nice, though, like a multi-story cs_office. I'll check it out soon.

I don't find it that attractive, the rooms are boxy(note: this is a office complex so box rooms shouldn't be bad, but there is nothing really that spices the overal look up) the outside area is somewhat weird(#4 lighting as sad before) and the outside buildings seem to stop suddenly at the upper windows(#3), first there is a window, then there is nothing, no border or such. <br>With some more thinking into the design this could be a very nice remake, but it's still missing some spark.
