Ambience: This is one of the many weak points in the map (sorry), the rain sound is tremendously loud, and gets very frustrating especially when you're not even outside you still hear it really loud (this can be fixed by making a custom soundscape with a loud rain sound outside, a quieter one half-way inside, and a low muffled one inside, for your consideration).

Design: This is a rather stronger point, I really do like the whole lots of windows idea, I have always enjoyed that, but as for the rest of the map, it gets very repetetive, and it's hard to tell where you are at times which is unfortunate. This map also lacks a solid layout, it's really just a boxy building, with a simple outdoor.

Detail: Kinda strange, you have some areas that are really well worked on, but some areas are need work. For example, your outside is awesome, great job there. But when you hop inside it's like... you tried by puting those plants near the window separators, but it just looks bad and out of place. You should add more random doors, and put the plant on some sort of a stand. Also, you stretched the glass texture alot >:( doesn't look good when you break it.

Gameplay:Rarr >:( Why the free guns? It takes away from gameplay a lot. But still, again I like the windows, so that makes up for it. Also, outside is quite laggy, but I guess no harm since the majority of the map is indoors.

Looks: I say this to A LOT of mappers, NEVER use pure white light in your maps, it looks awful, just take a look at the light in your room, is it white? Or is it off-yellow... unless you're in a hospital it's usually off-yellow, OR it's off-blue I can't really tell if this is perfect white, but it seems to me like it is, other than that, the map looks nice. One thing I would do is that one dark room, to keep it from looking really weird, make a light in there with a cool grey-blue color with a brightness of 5, to keep the shadows from making a light show on your walls.

Sound: Not going too much in to this, rain is too loud. But I have to say I like the transition from loud rain to almost dead interior.

Teamplay I guess teamplay is also harmed by free weapons, it's like no matter which team is losing, you always get free guns anyway, kinda lame in my opinion, but fun for others I guess.

Notes WOOO that was a HUGE review!

Pros: Clean, good lightning, use of sounds...

Cons: Some details are weird. At the last screen, how the threes are there ?
The bathroom can be improved with mirror and other sinkers. The one you used are just out of place

Improvements: Be careful with the small details. If you want to make a realistic map, it is very important. You must me coherent.

Notes: Why do you scattered weapons at spawn ?
Is it a FY_ map ?

By the way, you have to made a "final" final, or people won't play it because they will always have a different version than the one on the server.
