I see several stretched textures in the 2nd picture, fix it! Also, if those cars are burnt out and abandoned, then try rotating them a bit so they don't look like someone parked them there yesterday.

I think uve done a moderate job with realism and spent a decent amount of time on geometry. I think the 3-d skybox could be used more effectively by adding many more building to make u feel like ur surrounded by a city, other than that good job.

I run this map between 10 and 40 fps, closer to 10 in all the busiest areas where frames are needed most. Looking at wireframe, you were obviously careful about unnecessary BSP splits, but I think the layout you've selected is un-optimizable, or you seriously need to hint brush the hell out of it. I wireframe the parking garage and all I see is pink.

You've created a nice looking environment, but it seems like DM flow was an afterthought. The one-way flow into the pipe/tunnel/corridor side of the street will not produce enriching combat. There's a ton of HEV armor; you can reach 100 in no time. If you can stay alive long enough at 10 fps to collect it.

There is a low spot in the displacement canal floor where I got stuck.

You added multiple dynamic lights, even some outside the play area. These are hell for slower CPUs and don't scale with the DX level like other visuals.

I think you would do better with another map layout. You've got a ton of detail here in a tight space with no opportunity for vis blocking, a recipe for disaster.

Its not too late you know - if you dont place in the contest, then there is no reason why this needs to be the final version.
