Incredible mapping. You are amazing!

That's a great map. I've got only one suggestion: The sniper spot on the tower is just great. But from there 2D skybox looks bad. I suggest you use a 3D skybox. It may lag but you can make 2 different versions; one with high quality and one with decreased quality. Thats all. And again congratulations for this awesome map!

Phenomenal Architecture, wonderful structuring.

Haven't tried it yet (Cuz im not on my desktop) but, to help with the optimization try placing "hints" -> tools/hint at every [every] corner, to prevent the clients computers from rendering objects through walls. Displacements also cause a load of lag, and increase the size of the map's .bsp tremendously. So, may i suggest taking out the rear sections of your mountains at the sides of the maps.

Damn, damn nice map. Got two problems and a suggestion for ye though:

Problems:

One: the two playing radios near the hosties tend to desynch on servers, making them impossibly annoying to be around.


Two: Some computers lag on the map, the same with some servers. The issue is simply the sheer amount of props you have placed; too many props causes choke and lag on some PCs / Servers. The lag is during spawn time (for some it doesn't end... poor bastards with their 6 year old PCs >.>) when the map resets the props. They all spawn and it stops everything for a few moments.

Suggestion: Take two hostages and move further apart.. preferably in a different building. The only gameplay problem I could find is that people never go for the hostages. Even those players in our community that love going for the objective find it too difficult to make it out the door with all four at once.

Honestly, leave the map how it is as far as pathing goes, no extra hallways or secret passages; not a damn problem there. Heck, it's one of the best laid-out maps I've seen in a long time! Just please, consider moving two hosties and -please- make a version with less props.

Get rid of the ones that aren't needed (I.E. the barrels in the cart near CT spawn) and see if you can replace -some- the ones that are needed with actual objects.

Again, amazing job. Looking forward to your next map :3

Pros: Extremely nice worked! How long did you worked for this map? OMG, 75h, nice done dude!
