The ledge on this tower is just asking to be a sniper spot, but right now the range of visability from it is really poor and so the entire tower is kinda useless unless you cound the health/ammo spawns all the way at the top.
P.S.: You're probably going to be better off having a custom prop_static for curtians instead of the displacements. I'm still just starting to learn Hammer, but I've been doing 3d modeling for a while, maybe I can cook up something quickly.

This one plays good.
Obviously everyone started exploiting the roofs which doesn't seem to be intended. I liked seeing some texture work done. dev is so hideous
I also like the broken windows better than the bent metal. But I think you should put a little more into them and give them some cracks. Right now it's more like a big round hole which is odd for glass.
Hard to say much more as it's early on, I think some minor improvements could be possibly some pathways through buildings, where now it's more like alleyways around buildings. Just a few little shortcuts.
Also the spawn area and first point are just rectangles right now, having some little nooks and crannies would be nice. The doors on either side of them all line up into some long visual lines so it kindof feels too wide open.

Looking better. I made the point earlier about the windows not being cracked enough. But now I've got another problem with them.
Glass with wires it it might crack, but pieces wouldn't fall out. You should use a glass without wires.
I think displacements are perfect for the curtains. They render easy and are nice and smooth. I used them for banners in my latest. However do thourough checking of players jumping into them, walking into them, bumping them...
I had one that players would get stuck on, there was no obvious reason. Player clipping solved it though.

I know safety glass wouldn't break like that, but I figured the Sniper cut those pieces out of the glass so he could shoot through.
I'll try the non-safety glass textures though.

Grimy enough for ya?
In real life, cobblestone streets are filthy. I'll try to add some more nasty regions.:thumbup:
My most recent work on this map has be to try to open the background a little more so the town looks bigger as I didn't design the outskirts of the map before I started.
I'll think about a hilly region and adding some more trees and bush. The 3D skybox after that.

I think those tex look good to a degree. But too much is bad.
That building the heavy is looking at should be red brick and blue on the other side... Mix them up some.

Well, they're not really churches anymore...
Finding textures that fit the theme is a little bit tricky. I'll try to mix up the textures a bit.
imo this map is missing some flavor.. make some vegetation decals then have some vine props that can look like their coming over the wall and going into the decals.
Yeah, I think that helps break it up alot.
Vine decals would be great for this map.
