I downloaded this map this morning and ran around in it.

Layout seems okay, some nice long range sniper points that can piss even the best CSS players off. Sounds are nice, and add to the feel of the yard. Lots of detail, some people will really enjoy that. Over all a good map. Some minor issues I had a couple pink and black checkered surfaces, so I don't have those textures and they must of not ratpacked into the map, or its just my end for some odd reason. A Sign was one. Also the overview did not work. I gave it 3 stars. Keep up the good work.

there is a bridge part in the map that looks outta place and why would they build a wall that short and have a bridge there and have containers blocking the rest.. does not feel right. But all in all it is a nice map, and most CSS players wont care.. they are just happy to be killing someone in a decent looking map.

quickly Ill just say I thought your outside areas are very impressive, subject matter notwithstanding...I don't play css but I'll venture to say that unless you were an optimizing wizard, this also looks like it would be pretty laggy in hl2dm :o

Very nice work

  • In this image, the first thing that sticks out is the two yellow tank things intersected into the green machine thing. It doesn't look very convincing. Also, I think it would be better if you added some more continuity between the floor and the two vertical pipes on the right of the image. Perhaps some sort of grunge or stain (decal) or a little indent in the floor.
  • Here, the industrial looking rails don't suit the office like environment in this space, I'd change them.
  • My only real criticism here is that there is nothing really in the background/distance to give the feel of a bigger world out there. This is something I always pay attention to especially in exterior spaces. Also, the hdr is a bit too bright in the screenshot. Look how bright the sky is!
  • Here, those light sprites are also too bright, subtlety is the key. :)
Overall just by looking at the screenshots, those were the main things I noticed. The map looks pretty decent, certainly says you have a fair bit of level design experience. Nice one. 8-)

  • I Sorry I should have stated it was a release version.
  • Thanks for the feedback. I had hoped that by going for an industrial area with an admin office part within it may have been able to give a different look, but I'll take that into consideration for the future, thanks.

Im not judging your map because I have only seen the screenshots, but to me it looks just like so many other cs maps. Im kinda like having enough of that industrial theme. I like the LAN room though ^^

So is this the release version or a beta?
