Very nice use of the standard textures, it would be right at home with the standard valve maps. The lighting is a bit monotone though, some shadows and highlights would be nice.
finalbeta: More light. RPG in underground changed to LJ. [addsig]
beta8: Tuned lighting down a bit. Fixed misaligned texture seen at screenshot 2.
This is very close to final release. [addsig]
New day, new version. Added new enterance to outside area. Better looks at outside. Still under 800 r_speeds (thank god..erm..zoner for "HINT").
Screenshot number 2 replaced with new one.
Well, I was consulting him about cheat detection or something like that about year ago (I was lead coder Cheating-Death until I burned out) and told about theim to him and showed. He told he would need hl-teamplay map, and showed stalkyard and boot_camp (which in his option was bit too big for teamplay) and what was good about theim in teamplay.

Didn't know you knew Bullit, Hullu....errr now I'm trying to think of a reason why that even matters
Anyway, sometime today I'll do a
critique, promise 
Now to find time in amongst my Full Spectrum
Warrior playing...[addsig]
Inspired by Valve deathmatch maps. Most of theim are overbright with some darker areas 
.. so I'm just going to keep that one area dark.
I'm seeking for same kind of gameplay as in stalkyard (as BulliT explained me years ago why it was so good for HL-teamplay). Hm.. stalkyard is quite flat but has lots of well placed crates :O .. maybe I should fill underground with more grates :O
Ramp will be fixed. Thanks.
Texture will be fixed. Thanks.
Hm.. big crate at near center, closer to rocks. hmm.. new enterance from the back (outside <-> lift room).
Myrk-, thank for tip.

This ramp looks a little too steep. Normally you could get away with a 1/3 slope on a stairway, but not on an exposed ramp. Give it a 1/4 slope since you have the space.
I dunno, looks like a texturing error to me, even though its probably deliberate.
This is simply awesome. It looks like something torn straight out of HL. If you could keep this level of lighting and detail throughout the level it be something else, like a long-lost valve map.
-The connectivity looks good from what I could tell.
-The lighting looks too bright and flat, especially in some of the more cavernous areas. Some shadows would really improve visuals and gameplay.
-I think the outdoors area needs something in the middle, even if it's just more crates. It's too open and there aren't enough ledges and entrances/exits to justify it.
-I know you're going for gameplay over looks, and I will always support that belief, but there's a lot more you could do that would add to both, such as changing the lighting, adding more roof supports you can gauss to, more height differences, etc.

I really am meaning to but I'm afraid I still haven't gotten around to testing this one. I should have a full free day tomorrow, I'll get on the case

Ok the outside picture...
The window bits- either side make the frames stick out a few units and extend to the ground, but not the bits above and below the windows, just on the sides. Then get rid of the pillars underneath.
