Isn't there different versions of the same texture? IIRC one has the details like the grass, one has less detail and the last has no detail? Maybe I'm wrong idk...
Anyway, it looks like a good start
I will search. I'm almost finishing the respawn.
Sorry for my provocative screenshots
It's ok

Not everyone is going to hold your hand. You need to take all feedback, even if it's negative.

Mapping in a nutshell. Stick with it, and one day you'll be getting compliments everywhere.
Yeah, but i wasn't expecting feedback from that image, since i almost didn't touched that part of the map.
Now please let's stop with the offtopic, it's kinda sad to have the thread with most posts but most of them are offtopic lolololo
I will post pics of the point A and the blue respawn later, almost finished them
Updated the screenshots.
Some notes:
I wanted to post pics from the control point A but there's still much thing to do there.
There's a truck carrying australium running behind the control point B
Also i almost posted pics from the blu spawn room but it's still too ugly inside there.
since i can't add 7 screenshots on the first post here's the last one
Still need to clean some things in that area

thinking better, i think it still looks bad haha
LASER BEAMS!!! Also, I wanna join your server XD.
What's with all the text over the images? It's kinda unnecassery, any lack of detail goes without saying that you're still developing it and if you were stuck you'd get good quality feedback from this community.
Secondly. Good details does not = tons of props. It looks like you've just smacked a whole load of props into the level and onto the walls.
There's almost no scene consistancy and subsequently no narrative (demonstrated through a strict theme) to immerse players in your environment. It's spytech, desert and industrial blended together.
Tips:
Progression. Players understand map progression through the changes in their environment. This equates to:
"Initial area" = Almost neutral scene with hints of RED occupation through huts and scattered equipment. This usually consists of, but not limited to, organic out doors areas. It will warrant use of plants and rocks in combination with nature textures such as cliffs, dirt and water.
"Secondary area" = more significant presence of structures. This will be where players assimilate your maps theme through the more suggestive detail objects. What they are fighting over and possibly why. Oil, coal, supplies, communication??? This will dictate wooden and metal structures that litter the edge of a base, normally setup for maintenance or labour.
"final area" = Largely spytech or industrial in style, usually a HQ or resource focal point and location of the primary objective.The secret base, normally located deep under ground and far from prying eyes. You will use spytech and industrial models here, concrete and metal textures.
edited for better summary.

Thanks for the tips, i also thought it was strange the desert + industrial + wood things
I have started detailing the final area, like you said it's a spytech thing, yet i'm trying to fix that overdetailed celiing hehe
I'm texturing everything again, i've redone most of the structures, according to what grazr said, and everything is looking better! I just don't know what to do with CP A, that is still using the normal concrete texture.
The building at the right of the CP A: instead of changing it to wood, i've created a dirty concrete texture, and made that building look like it was abandoned, due to the BLU invasion, i've even created a notice sign. Also the entrances are (were) sealed with wood.

Huge update:
I don't know what to do with the wood part of the control point, should i change it to gorge-style or try to do something with the wood? It's supposed to be a garage.
Still need to fix the ropes and mess with a few things there
I'm almost done here, just need to change some textures and change a few things
Ugly-ass Australium mine, yes the cars run (there's 2)
This is behind the control point B. I'm trying to do something from the Loose Cannon comic from Valve.
I'm pleased with the results, but it still doesn't look OK for me
Oh, and i made a custom skybox.

Once again, more props does NOT equal better detail! That much props and overlays in an area where the player can't go will either 1. act as a distraction or 2. go unnoticed. Try keeping it clean, look at what valve have done to the unreachable areas, and keep it at a similar level. No need to overdo it!
