Very nicely done, just needs some unique lighting and it could be a hallway prefab.

Bah, I'm not a prefab fan, especially not when it comes to architecture. Brushwork is such an integral part of mapping that the mapper should do it themselves in my opinion.

It is always a good idea to add "deapth" to walls and such

Pure Ownage. It really gives your map that professional look and the r_speeds are kept low. Suppah !

I remember this tutorial being the one that greatly improved my mapping a while ago, way before the Snarkpit remake thingy that happened.

This is still one of the greatest tutorials there is. Down with the box!

I'd advise being careful about symetry- it can lead to corridoors that have little interest...
