I had a quick look at it and to me the point seems a bit too closed and dull. You might want to open the roof etc. to create more ways to enter the capture zone.

Ran around, some notes:

It's alright to be inspired by other maps, but this map is coming close to a downright copy of Suijin. It's got some differences, but some layout elements are immediately recognizable. You should make more of the layout your own, because otherwise you'll be faced with an endless number of people writing the map off as "a worse version of Suijin." If you want an idea of how to make things different, maybe put the point on a bridge directly over a chasm, rather than the chasm next to the point.

Other specific things.

This is clipped off. I tried jumping to it and ended up in the deathpit instead, which was kinda disappointing.


Saw this when I fell into the deathpit. Nodraw doesn't work on displacements. On a similar note, you shouldn't seal your map in a giant box.

You should put playerclip or blockbullets slopes over your stairs so that players don't stutter up them.

You might want to look into some rudimentary optimization. Most of the map is rendered at all times, which is going to give people on older computers some framerate issues.

On the topic of optimization, it seems that you've packed all of the Japan models/textures rather than just the ones you used, meaning your map is 87 MB for a first version, which is a pretty significant waste. Hydro is also 87 MB!

I would comment on the gameplay, but I haven't played it. It looks like it could be fun, although the point does seem cramped like Jusa mentioned. It needs to be more of the focus of the map. Still, not bad looking!
