the official name is kill zone express ("kill zone" for the unconventional battlefield and "express" because trains.
of course! as bad at mapping i am i'm not that bad. if a player could get up there they would immediately have an advantage over everyone!

Are we now on Source Two Engine? Are there any mapping programs for it?
So, i've created things for Epicenter. Then asked the chat. Then redid them. Over and over.
1. Building under construction... only using stock textures.
2. Buildings next to spawn. Also, Displacements!
3. Inside spawn. Still has lighting errors which i wasn't able to fix yet.
Last but not least: Supersecret early pics of what i want to do with the capture zone. Only brushwork and basic textures now.

I'm not sure I'm on board with the way you're using the corrugated metal texture. Those textures are best suited for makeshift, shanty-like structures, but you're using it like it's some form of masonry, especially in picture #2.3 with the juts between the windows.
I wouldn't say it's sheer necessity, but i wanted to vary the window inlets. This way (which i stole from badwater, like i did with much of the composition) i don't have to rough up my brushwork to make room for the windows.
I mean, i didn't really think about if corrugated metal would be installed in this way, i give you that - But i don't think a lot of people would see that it makes no architectural sense, although i suppose it'd be possible to use it in that way.

Okay, no more detailing now. I promise.
All of your detailing is really gorgeous but you should consider the realism of your materials. It's unlikely that concrete floors would be supported by wood, with the concrete overhang looking particularly precarious.

Looks good! but there's some brushwork that could be thinner, like the roof on the 1st picture (usually metal roofs are 4hu thick) and what I assume are wooden boards in the 3rd one.
What it looks like you've done, is seen that you shouldnt make layouts out of props then made some brushes (that may aswell just be props) then use those instead. This is not what people mean when they say to make a layout out of geometry. You need to intertwine areas with doorways and buildings and walls and stairs and all. Not have big rooms then make a 'layout' out of cut and paste blocks.
The first screenshot seems pretty fine on that basis though, just the 2nd and 3rd make me think this.
Really like how this ceiling turned out.
Does this look better?
Nice brushwork doors you can't spawncamp:
Also did this room but I worry I made it waaaay too bright. Gonna get rid of some of these lights or dim them down a lot.
Poster looks nice though
