This is the concept art that I first got the inspiration from. Its a concept art from Halo Reach that Bungie released a few months ago.

looks good. the dropoff in the first pic makes me a little scared. falling in to the water seems like it would be a nightmare to get out of as i didnt see any stairs, ramps, etc to exit.
the hydroish theme looks spectacular. hopefully this stays in beta a little longer than your previous map so it gets a better polish.

I'm assuming that though we can't tell from the static angle the intel is hovering above the middle of the cross, in which case it's a sufficient landmark on it's own.
However the intel pedestal would work nice right there.
EDIT: Actually looking back there's no way that's in the center. It should be though. That's a nice eye attracting point that would make it feel really symmetrical and nice.

Just want to give a few tips about things that clashed with the theme:

The wooden supports on the concrete building look out of place. Use something else. I'm not aware if this is an owned base, but I can't tell whose it is. Place a logo or two around and use some color.

Hydro's cliffs are usually flat topped, not lumpy like these ones. The drop-off looks great but I think a fence would help keep gameplay more contained.

I love this screenshot. It uses Valve's theory of revealing the goal early on while still keeping sightlines down. The angled railings make it look awkward though. Consider talking to a modeler to get custom versions for your ramps. The water also looks cheap.

The window frames here are too large compared to the windows. You should reduce them in size. It also seems silly to have the intelligence in the middle of this room with no surface below it. A round desk or table would bring the center of this room to life.

Again, a little color would help determining whose base this is. The only way right now is between the red loudspeaker and below the intel room.
Still, it's not always apparent. A table or desk would make it more logical to the player and theme.

A desk in the middle of that room would be unnatural. People are smart enough to identify it by a pedestal if he puts one in.
Looooool, more qq less pew pew a.k.a less friend requests.
Could use some more logo-age for the respective teams.
Your Cliffs look a little too... I dunno, round. Too wavy. They're kind of going everywhere possible.
Not sure how your comp friends are going to take that watery deathpit. From what I've read, they aren't too keen on that concept, and those railings won't stop an airblast.

This has to be the weirdest, most randomly-detailed, bug ridden, overlapping brush filled set of corridors I have ever seen, which is riddled with bizarre vertex editing/carving which causes cracks all over.
Not to mention the TOTAL lack of player clipping in playable space and lighting errors out the wazoo.

Our job at tf2maps.net is to provide feedback, despite how much of a dick the author is. If the author doesn't want to take our feedback, it is his own decision. If he does, than he can. Without any feedback supplied, the author has no ability to choose, which is what we want him to be able to do.
