I have some issues with your debris.

 

area 1. -  It looks like the room was full of concrete, and someone knocked the wall off.  If this is supposed to be debris from, say, the roof caving in, that huge concrete brush isn't very convincing.  Try making a couple of fallen rafters, and some smaller chunks of debris on the floor of the room, instead of one solid block.

area 2. - This looks funny for a couple of reasons.  If that is supposed to be the wall that fell from the building above it, it looks way too thick, and the way it's skewed isn't doint it any justice.  The texturing is also throwing me off there.  That concrete texture just doesn't make any sense on the side of that brush.  I would break it (not literally)  into maybe 3 medium size brushes, texture it completely with the brick texture, and make them about 16 units thick.

Other than those obvious oddities, the screenies looked really nice.

lol, well actually i migdo some mroe editing i liek the big chunk more to hide behind n stuff. im not e what exactly ill do. i think im gonna start an outdoors map for the mod JungleMist for HL2 soon so no more poly limits and i got awesome ideas for it. so who knows. [addsig]

Well, you can still have a big chunk leaning against the wall for cover - just don't make it so thick.

Gotta love the way people think:

 HL2!?! OMGAWD NO POLY LIMIT!

There most certainly is, HL2 is only HL1 with stuff chunked on top, model lods, distance brush loading with fog and skillfull brushwork make the levels in HL2 look good.

yeah, well i know that if i take my time and map s**t right then i wont have to worry about r_speeds cause i know how to use good vis blocks n s**t and HL2 is built better. Quasar hows it goin? thanks for compliment, ive been working on skies and maps latly not alot other than that.

Technically, there isn't. HL2's limits are performance and framerate-based, not solid poly-based. I recall seeing that there's an included option to check complexity, something similar to the UnrealEd depth/complexity option - though obviously without seeing it I can't say for certain. [addsig]

Oh you are pedantic aren't you andrew

But you are correct, it was certainly stated by some valve folks that the r_speeds facility has been scrapped in favour of a more in-depth performance related scale. I'd say this is a good way of doing things, as lately I've found r_speeds to be a pretty unclear indicator. Take my level Seneca for example - w_poly hits 1600+ and yet I witnessed far less slowdown than I've had on maps with lower counts.

Well I read in an interview with Gabe that r_speeds do indeed still exist, it's the same engine still. Basically he said about how r_speeds have been altered to give a better indication of the maps speed or somat and it shows you problem areas, I can't remember exatly. [addsig]

Erm, he said they have a new system that shows areas in maps where performance for a certain system config slows down. I don't think they're retaining the r_speeds. It's more like the netgraph system, I would say.

"R_speeds" are just essentially various counts of the number of polygons on screen (and the time taken to render them), so technically they will always exist. The r_speeds command however, seems to have been dropped, in favour of a performance indicator that people have compared to the current netgraph tool, as Fraggard said. It will still take into account the number of polygons on screen, but thats not the sole indicator as in HL1.
