Nice for a first map. Try to get rid of the &quot;box with something in the middle&quot; large-scale idea for a map-layout. I know it's far from an actual &quot;box&quot;, but still, having multiple, separate but well connected areas of interest allows more versatile gameplay. <br> <br>I would _not_ make this bigger. Small to medium-sized maps usually play better (and are run more often) than large maps. <br> <br>I agree with Andrei on the lighting issue. Use (subtle!) colors in every light. Yellowish, blueish tones to create some contrast in colour warmth. Too white lighting turns out a little grey in HL2DM (which has a rather desaturated texture-palette anyway). <br> <br>The water could kill some people's machines performance-wise. I love HL2's water shaders, but considering what a small spot you're using it in, it's quite an expensive FPS-killer so you might want to consider removing it. <br> <br>PS: The download link was a pain for me to get to work. Could you try uploading it somewhere else? fpsbanana.com works fine for me.
