Heh, well considering I am doing the very map at the moment, but I had planned on not doing it the same as the original because I suspect Valve will re-release someday in the future, and I wanted to just capture the idea behind the map. Some problems with yours is its a blind run into what will be AWPer hell, no cover, and the textures are pretty bad. And thats just from the screenshots above. I do like the displacement walls you did.. but they can be better.. like the displacement walls done in the other siege map here, his are fantastic.

Eeeek! Dangit! Forgot to rescale the textures in the skybox! That one above the parking lot on the far wall is actually in the skybox. The map is surrounded by cliffs to give the impression that it's in the middle of a vast setup of canyons with oil refineries here and there.

screen one is looking great, try turning out one of the lights in there to make some light contrast.
screen two, there are too many decals it is way to busy. that arabic writing and the NP dont seem to fit at all.
screen three, not bad at all add some rock models for a bit of cover and think about a better way to do that far wall above the entrance to the parking lot, the reapeating texture dosn't look all that great.

I have done displacment maps for most of the map (only half of ct spawn left to do), and I did some scaling on a lot of the textures. I took care of the lighting issues, and added decals to the lab area to make the room look more interesting. I also installed a door to the lab. More doors to come. I'll upload screenshots as soon as I can.

Maybe move the car on the left somewhere else. The tank is what's allowing the player to crawl into that vent

In the 1st pic I don't really like the placements of the vehicles, I would have the little tank at the front of the pillar as they looked cramed up.

Yep, yep! I agree, guys. I've got the displacment maps half done for the rock walls. It's looking much better in that area. I'll also look at the texture scaling. I'll definately do some playing around with overlays and decals to make it not look so bland. Anymore feedback, let me know.

reno and sloth said it all.
Add some decals to break up the very flat wall texure you are using. Play around with displacment mapping some more and get a real feel for it, then come back and try to tackle those rock walls.

I would say:
Screen 1: Half the number of the light's, some contrast can be good, also the wall's look a bit plain, look at the "trim" textures and use one of them to break it up, also it can be broken up vertically, the wall doesn't have to be straight to the next wall, it could also have a block which is sticking out.
Screen 2: With the rocks make the bottom stick out so that it looks more curved, both horizontally and vertically, some difference in verticle ness and horizontalness is good. also with the walls on that building split them up with trim/ sticky-out-ness.
Screen 3: You could cut one of those tiles out so that it looks out of place, walls again -trim and less lighting.
