I like it, it's very well lighted, but I don't like the water texture, seems more like a HL2 texture.

Point taken - and I will look at other TF2 water textures.....

That said, Stinky and I are working flat out to get it ready to test game play (just to make sure the CTF gaming element works)

Cheers for the feedback

Map looks great but those sharp corners are bothering me... why would someone make a corner like that? (architectural wise) I know you have squared the end off but it still looks unrealistic or impractical. Anyway, all other stuff looking great, just add some details and your good.

Mmmmm - to be fair, you need to see that particular wall creation and structure 'in game' - it has not been made to look structurally accurate, but more of a class balancer within TF2....the alcove can now house a sentry, transporter, supply station, Spy recharging cloak (if crouched, you cannot be seen from the window), etc etc...

Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome job so far! Especially for a first map. I like the volumetric light/dust particle effect going on in the main cavern. Be careful with the sloped ceilings as in the blue generator room, they can really screw up visibility calculations.

Point taken on the sloping ceilings....
