DE_SUBWAY

This is my first map and I have to say that I am really surprised at
how well hammer has come along. I tried mapping back in TFC 1.4
to 1.5 days and could not get it. Now with a little age, and
experance, and the prospect of the great things we can do with the
Source engine, I am going to keep mapping.

This map is not everything I wanted it to be, but I want to move on to
an outdoor map. As soon as DoD:S is out ill really be swinging
into full swing.

Thanks for any feedback.

Wow. I love everything I see except for screen 1 and 5. I don't know why -- just doesn't look like a subway!
Screen 2 absolutely blew my shoes off. The restauraunt in screen 3 looked good, and 4 just... I guess I just liked that one
A suggestion though: Screen 2, add some detail to the ceiling. It looks just a little TO empty.

The screens look nice, but there are just too many light sources in some places (i.e. the first screenshot and the last one). Make the surrounding darker (like the other screens) and the ambience improves.

Thanks bro. Yea, screens 1 and 5 are the spawn points so they are kind of bare. Hope you had a chance to load it.

Screen 5 has more light fixtures than any room could possibly require Break up the walls (particularly in screens 1 and 5) with pillars or indents/alcoves, even if they are just textured the same, and consider putting some subtle accent lighting in to add contrast. Reduce the functional lighting in both areas as well, looks much too bright even if that is the feel you are going for.

Hey, this map is great. However, on the T side you need to remove the fence 'cause when there are 11 people on a side it is really hard to get out.

Thanks guys. Yea, as for the T spawn, I have removed part of the fence. Im just about to release an update that hopefully fixes some issues with the train, as well as fix a few bugs. Im also adding an additional crossover up on the top level.

Hopefully Ill have it out Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday.

Take the shadows off the hanging pictures (see picture 4) It never looks right with huge shadows below them.

Hmm, Ihave to dissagree. Of course the pictures are a little difficult to get butted right up against the wall without them getting stuck in the brush, so the shadow is a little over pronounced. But, that is the look I was going after. If you have ever been to a gallery you will see nice shoadows on pictures that are displayed there.

Thanks though, I take all things into considuration.
