Thanks for all the comments.
Most of them have got me thinking about the textures...I'll have to be careful not to make everything look too similar, so thanks for that.
Also, the lighting isn't going to change very much. It was alot brighter before, and it just didn't look right for the sewer/undeground place I want it to be. Don't worry though, because you can see your opponent perfectly in the map -- I've run around the alpha with a few people, and it's fine in that respect.
Again, thanks for all the comments.

I took a second look and I just like to say, the massive feel of shot 4 is nice. I like areas that feel huge.

Maybe it's the fog or the quality of the screenshots, but this map comes across as 'plasterville' to me. I don't really read concrete here, it all looks like sheetrock or something. Give us something to run around in - it's very hard to judge much from these shots other than some interesting, monotextured, shapes.

I like the dank dark feel, but I think that you will need just a little more light, I like to add very dim, dark (almost black) colored light to even out some rooms, give it a try.

The lighting is gonna be basically the same.
Again, I know that there are a few concrete textures, but that's basically the theme of the map. Yeah, I am going for like a waste/sewer setting, so it's basically big, support laden architecture with pipes and stuff. The lighting will be fairly dark. I know it might look a tade same-y from the screenshots, but when it's done, download it and take a look, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Cheers.

What theme were you going for in this map? I can't quite tell. It looks a little bit like a waste disposal facility.
I like your architecture, because it seems like it would be really fun to run around with the shotgun in that map, but even though you used different textures, they all appear to be the same color / concrete material. I think the map could benefit from some texture variety.
Are you going to add more lighting or are you going to keep some areas dark like that?

Added another screeny for you all to see that I didn't use one texture through the whole map. /rolls eyes

wonder if he just built the architecture using 1 texture and then is gonna texture it all up properly when thats done (like what they apparently did with hl2 but using those orange textures)? Either way there is very little can say about it/ Brushwork in pic 3 looks fairly decent though, curious to know what the setting is

Perhaps the problem is that it was taken in too thick of a fog so it's
sort of coloring everything with the color of the fog.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say... yeah that's it.
