Quick thought from screens: it looks too dark. Dark maps + bright water = badness.

In the first 2 screenshots, the sniper tower's netting Rendermode should be solid, not texture. Other than that, it looks a little dark.

Water isn't shaded during the lighting-process of a map compile. Solutions:
  • Get rid of the water.
  • Replace water texture with an animated water texture (+0, +1, etc. texture prefix)
  • Light the surrounding area relative to the water.
Anyways, looks way too dark. Can't really see anything to make any accurate criticisms. Yes, the player has a flashlight, but this is just really too overboard.

I downloaded this map but HOLY LAG!!! i barely had fps over 10 on this map. the map was fun, but a few places have bad lighting, some errors like the rock walls i saw in a few places were not quite fit together. if these errors were fixed i would give a better score, but its just TOO slow.

I really Love some of the ideas in this map but I dont get it. I couldnt get to the end. Do you just climb down the ropes and go a bit further down and thats it.

Also the map was a bit dark. mabye more lights.

But the main problem is just that I dont get it but some nice ideas

Real good map, i bit easy to finish tho. and i agree, more lighting. i was able to beat this map without even firing a single shot, so make your next maps challenging
