I was able to run around this map solo and enjoyed looking for ways to access the different roof tops of each of the small shop buildings, and trucks. Overall, I was impressed with how well you were able to make it feel like a real urban environment, and the large murals were pretty cool.

The layout and feel of the map was pretty solid. I personally enjoyed stumbling through the openings through the building's halls like tunnels to different areas of the map. I can see myself leveraging those to launch surprise attacks from zone to zone.
This map seems to be a successful deathmatch map because it's evident the author was thinking about the necessary nooks and crannies that make for a good surprise attack, or space to catch a breath.

The texturing, and brush modeling were really solid. My biggest criticism is the green grass texture throughout. Felt a little monotonous, and the displacement work around the playground and a few areas made it difficult to navigate, so I found myself avoiding those areas. Not sure if that's a bonus or a detriment on fast-paced game like this. If anything, I felt like the map encouraged you to jump on top of the buildings, stoops, vehicles, etc. but some I could not figure out how to get on top of. Perhaps adding more of that, i.e. to give the space even more verticality could make this map more unique in that way.

Overall, great addition to Half-Life Deathmatch here in 2026! Keep 'em coming. :D
