Pros: Wow. Where to begin? This is one of the best maps I have seen in years. The gameplay is great. The graphics and details are really good. All the different routes and possibilities makes this map really great. We played it yesterday with 20 ppl on the server and it was a blast.
Good ambient sounds, mix of light and dark areas on the map. Lots of options for varied tactics.
Cons: It is graphics heavy. A 7800GTX you have about 60 fps and a 8800GTX you get 100+ FPS. Older gfxcards than this suffer.
Improvements: At CT spawn you can climb ou through the roof windows and onto the roof. Once on the roof you can walk off the map and see through various areas. If you make the glass non breakable it is fixed. :)
Notes: Awesome map! We have it in our rotation. If you want more feedback deh0lise don't hesitate to contact me or go through our forum. www.deadmen.co.uk
10 out of 10! Good job!

Pros: I think the post below me say everything that needs to be said.
Cons: wow, terrorist spawn is dam laggy, fix that please.

Deho i like the artist look u have i think some people tend to forget its not all about realism right about the color correction i couldnt 100% tell if u had used transitions within the map but just read what you said now when we made cs_classified in dimensionstudios we found that u couldnt use transitions because if a transition was set of it would set it off for all of the players on the server not just the cilent not sure if valve sortted this since but u would have outdoor color correction settings of for people inside etc not sure if you are aware of this or if it may have been changed since etc, btw i like all the dark spots and i agree with you i dont think they change or alter the gameplay theres only one bit where its a little dodgy and theres a tiny bend outside where its literally outside then inside then outside straight away and that corner is extremely dark i think u could get campers there altho i havent played the map yet so i dont know if that particular bit is a vital point in the map, i thought the radar was also really nice, the best bit in the map by a mile is the underground sewer bit its just so realistic and so well thought out u must of spend a while developing that bit, setting up all of the lighting, models, sounds, and brush work u can clearly see alot of effort there, i just personally dont think all of your provided screenshots do the map justice its just so much better ingame. one of the best maps in a while imo

Color correction transition is one of those things i want to change in the final version but I want some gameplay feedback before working more on this map because I really prefer doing another one if it isn't working.

About the cohesion of the map... I wanted to (and did) use just the textures and models avaliable with css/hl2 because this was just a test map I made while I was learning hammer and in the other hand I didn't want it to look like all the rest of the maps, I wanted to do something different, I get bored of playing with the same combinations of textures/props in all the maps. Next map I'm planing will be custom and because that have a more specific theme.

About the lighting... There are light and dark area due to the sun angle that creates those shadows, but anyway, there are no important dark spots that will mess up gameplay, most of em are made just to make it look interesting with nonaction zones like screen3 or to give a bit adcantatge to one side like the ramps shadow zone (prevents rushing a bit).

Light is oversaturated intentionally, I didn't want to make it look realisitic, you'vegot crysis for that, I just wanted to use and combine some bright/oversaturated colors people usually like(for example fy woods) and train lighting a bit while I was doing the map.

Most of the cubemaps where higher but due to filesize I had to reduce em, also full bright/dark faces have lightmapscale from 32 to 512 (I reducedt 10mb doing that without loosing much quality)

About vis, there is one spot outside I could try to solve with more areaportals but it has a lot of problems. Anyway, everything else is hinted and has many portals.

Pros: Very nice, just in general. atmosphere.
Cons: Ill take a look over then see.
