I love the level of detail, i guess it doesnt have to be similar to the original to rock

Looks like it's more inspired by crossfire then just a crossfire conversion. Which is good, because I don't feel like crossfire is very well suited to HL2's gameplay (TAU TAU TAU! LJ LJ LJ!). Looks nice on many levels, hope it plays well. Good luck!

Make the buildings taller, trim your architecture, make the lighting smooth around corners. It looks so simple now; I don't get any sense of scale, any atmosphere beyond an attempt to emulate Ravenholm. A considerable portion of almost all of your screenshots is just dark sky. Put some wires there, have some lights cast across the yard, something - it looks too normal right now.
I think the blood in the bathroom is more than a little gratuitous.
Use a better wood floor texture.

As ReNo said, I think I'll have to see
it in game for things like connectivity. But so far it looks
excellent.

*breaks out laser pointer similar to ones used in seminaries*
you really wanna know, i can point some out if you like? course, i'd have to turn it on myself first, to qualify as experienced judgment.

Great job! who are these assholes that everyone's talking about? Anyway, your powerlines are a LITTLE too thick, maybe scale them down a bit?

Looks very nice.
One minor thing on that trainstation column light model - set it skin 1 so it has a light-up skin and it looks like it's actually on. Or, you did and I just can't see it

Reminds me of the german TheWall contest, those guys made some very surprizing remakes of official DM levels. Indeed, your map looks and feels completely different, though personally I'd like levels to be a bit more bright. A sunny athmosphere makes me more happy while fragging...
Nevertheless, a good job so far.

it is so nice to see a person listen to my suggestion without the need to be an asshole about it. your map looks excellent bud.
*whispers*
XAT was calling you however, 85k bud, 85k 
*sits back up straight*
just because a map shares a name, by no means means it must be a solid for solid remake.. i think you have moved well up in the charts of snarkpits more accomplished mappers. certainly above the assholes who won't listen.
well done

This doesn't look anything like Crossfire, and as such it gets two thumbs up from me. THIS is how I like to see the HLDM maps converted
I'll save any comments for when I see this in game.[addsig]
