Okay its been a while - I guess ill be the first.

This tutorial doesn't seem very comprehensive. Like you've only written about 1 aspect of combine archetecture, when there are plenty others:
-Breaking Symetry
-Lighting
-Devices
-Sounds
All those have to do with combine archetecture. And I think we're all waiting for more before posting ratings.

This would be a great "Chaptered" type of tutorial. I mean, this could be Chapter 1: The Basics. Chapters 2-? can be some of those that Omega mentioned.

Sadly, in its current form, its kinda panting.

I really like the topic, but I was kind of dissapointed when I suddenly found myself in the end of the article with so many questions..
..and even if this was a first chapter I would have found it a bit too short.

I have to agree with omegaslayer and say that there are more areas to cover and even this, the first chapter, can be a bit longer/deeper.

Looking forward to your updated version, good luck! smiley

I think you should put in the asymmetry factor. I've read a couple of articles on this and even Valve's design chiefs mention asymmetry (and monumental architecture in general) as their main technique and source of inspiration.
