Pros: nice and very realistic
Cons: little small but thats fine for the map
Notes: in the video where did you get the grease guns for the US thompson???

Pros: Almost everything, the map feels like a perfect remake of the orignal map. The tunnels and Lighting make the map feel alive with the sounds and amibent noises while the lighting and skybox set the mood of the map very well, I was suprised time and time again with what you had done with rooms i remember from 1.3 and done to them to make them compatable with source and its realitic feel.The bridge and church were VERY well done and the map showed alot of though and effort, I am happy to see this map being made to its fullest extent possible
Cons: only a few things
No water in the river which took out the 1.3 feel though i may be remembering Meridet instead of Sturm

Lighting in the church was alittle off, but not too noticable to were i had to literally look at it 3 times before i found what was wrong with it.

Overall very few Cons
Improvements: None that i can see except what was listed above but even then its only how you feel the map should look and the final product here is very nice
Notes: You should submit this to valve, The work seen here needs to be made offical, Good Job and happy mapping!

Ambience: Wow Where do i begin?? the map had great ambience to it! The door opening on the Terrorist side of the map once you spawn is setting the mood very early in the map while the sounds you encounter are very scary. I Found the women screaming with the chain saw to be one of my scare moments and was able to say WoW! this is great. The mansion feels haunted as you walk the halls and having thoses eyes in the pictures stair down on you while the women is moaning in the background (shudder) is probably one of the best ambience in the entire map and very mood setting
Design: The design of the map is FLAWLESS, I can tell alot of work must have gone into this map and the Input/Output and triggers works wonderfullly. The doors do feel small but since i havent seen any SAW movies im assuming thats how they look in the movie so im not judging your mapping skills on small size doors. All the props are placed very well and the Needle pit is very cool although the texture could probably have been changed alittle to look more like needs (again having never seen SAW this is judging on the map only) The Meat Grinder and the Furnice were probably the coolest parts of the map in my eyes and reminded me of a James Bond Moment more than a horror movie but it added wonders to the awe of the map even more.
Detail: Very Keen eye to detail, From the loaded gun door to the safe and Furnice the Traps kept us guessing and jumping at the first sign of noise. the Detail level is very nice and extermanly well done. expecally with that stair case in the mansion and the meat grinding room.
Gameplay: Since its a large map it well like you said need a longer time on the bombsite to be fair to both teams. As for FPS the meter never went below 40 and the lag was mininal to None. Great use of Clipping and triggers. Lots of amibent sounds too as described above. ALong with the secret room the map has alot of replay value
Looks: Overall the looks fell true to the theme, its a horror movie and the map is a horror map. You well feel like you are in the movie Even if you havent seen it

again wonderful job on the mapping

keep it up

I revised my rating

enjoy

Sexy and nice :D
