After seeing ReNo's recent screenshots of his Paroxysm map, I decided to have a go at a sci-fi themed map myself as I haven't done one before. In my usual mapping style however, the theme changed totally into something different - so now it's no longer a space-stationy map (well I suppose it could be, it just depends on how you interpret it!). This will be my second entry to the 2004 Snarkpit competition.
Its a stunning map visually, so for style I can think of nothing to
criticise. The layout is nice enough but I found myself getting lost
and running in circles, but due to the symmetrical layout I was never
sure if I was in the same room as before or not. I'd say on your next
one make the layout entirely unique so people know where they are and
where they are going at all times.
Despite using such few colours, the map remains entirely playable and avoids being confusing, which most interior flatshaded maps fail at. I love this level, one of the most unique and awe-inspiring levels I've come across in the engine.

Hate to disappoint you but none of the names reference Pink Floyd (not yet anyway...). Pulse = Mad Capsule Markets, Rampart = John Frusciante, Resonance = Mad At Gravity, Sorrow = Bad Religion, Siberiankiss = Glassjaw, and Heartspark = Everclear
