Hmm, well don't judge it by screenshots alone, Cass. I'm not neccesarily going for strict realism here, but I did hope it felt solid, functional, and interesting. Maybe strange is good, I don't know - I definately want it to have some unique character.

It doesn't look bad, but it looks strange. The lighting is pretty all-over-the-place. In almost every screenshot, there's something that doesn't look like it has any conceivable purpose.

I'll take a run around tomorrow and do a proper critique, but its a little late in the day for me to do one just now

Ok, it looks like there are 2 versions of the green tile texture; one with bump and one without. The bump version seems to be missing an alpha map for the spec channel (hence the glossy, ugly, specularity), but the non-bump version seemed fine with low shader settings. The texture is Tilefloor019a_nobump (the one that looks ok); just incase anyone else is using this texture - you might want to check your map with low shader specs.
Hmm...screenie #2 doesn't look overly bright to me - certainly doesn't feel too bright ingame. Go play the darn map!

Apologies for the screenshot-only-critiquing, but why is #2 so bright? The map looks familiar though, I hope that the layout has been pulled together!
"Looks pretty cool, but I know you know theres work to be done still with lighting... The light fixtures seem to be in random places. "
examples? I know there are some spotlights stuck in certain places, but I was more interested in dramatic effect, than 100% logical placement. Did you actually play the map, or are you going by screenshots alone?
Just 5 minutes ago, I was able to reproduce the error that keved was having with the green tile floors. I switched my shader detail to low, and they turn super ugly. I don't know what else to do with, other than replace them, as it doesn't seem to happen with any other texture.

Looks pretty sexy, I'll give this one a download and post later. [addsig]
