I noticed the big rocks. I'm talking about walls and buildings and corridors.

The problem with dark maps is that gamma whores will make it bright as day while other players suffer.

Also, about the rocks being useful as cover - if that's true, isn't the layout essentially that of awp_map without the AWP's and rocks instead of blocks?

I'd suggest you never post anything over a few hundred KB at most.

:::sticks a red hot poker in mouse's eye:::

im guessing you have not looked at the map all that close since you did not notice the big rocks and such to hide behind.

I don't play CS:S so I'm judging from screenshots, but it looks a
little flat to me. From the little bit of CS 1.6 I've played it
seems like CS relies heavily on being able to find cover. If
you're marching across an open field with a group of hostages it seems
like you would be an easy target in your map. I like the idea,
though. Just try and make it more interesting.

The actual stargate looks nice but the rest leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing about this looks themed at all - it is only the stargate itself that lives up to the name.

I'd suggest that for your next map you pick something more enclosed, as all these newcomers seem to be trying to make big open maps and all it ends up as is empty and featureless.

You need more lighting
