Details:

For this second-to-last edit, I concentrated on structural changes, plus placement of weapons, ammo and power-ups. A number of changes have been made to drastically speed-up gameplay and make the best use of the space in the map.

Framerates have been optimized as much as possible, and are probably the best that they will ever be for this map.

Some areas are a little bare ...as far as the map is concerned it's done, it just needs that final dust and polish" I will add the rest of the visual decor in the final release.

I said this last time:

please make those window templates at least 3D!
It could have a window frame or even better a room!

Very fussy, but I don't like that strip of light thats going accross your level caused by the shadows of the neighbouring buildings.

I really like this map. I ran into a couple problems with ladders though. Overall the atmosphere is very good, looking forward to playing it online.

One really needs to ask oneself, "When the total image download rivals the maps total file size, Why bother downloading the map at all?"

The exteriors look really nice-- the lighting does a great job of making it feel abandoned. i wish the interior had the same feel. it kinda looks like two different maps, though i should play it first before saying that.

Thank you for the comments, and I apologize for the images sizes. The final release is posted, I hope it is enjoyed
