Looking very good so far. Do you have an overview of the map's layout or are you just planning it as you map? Is this a linear CP map like Well/Granary/Badlands, an A/D map, or something else?

I am going as i map.

and it will consist of 2 routes.

the first one (the one ive shown already, is quite linear.)

the second one im probably gonna add some more variation.

Looks really good, you have some great attention to detail. It would be great to see an overview of the map, yeah, or at least get a little more info.

nice detailing :) some hallways look a bit crammed, I hope you'll have some areas a bit more open, and nmot fall into the trap of just connecting hallways with hallways.

but anyways, very nice! is this your first map?

also you seem to be using light entities, try using light_spot entities, and make the outer radios quite big. makes for a lot nicer lighting.

Your hallways are lit very nicely, though you do need light_spots in your spawn room really, you have nasty bloom on your walls there.

I suggest making that ramp a little thinner, but not too much thinner. It's thickness makes it seem rather "noob-ish" as ammateur mappers tend to get a little scared to go beyond 16/32 units, and it really shows ingame (compared to valve maps). Most other things are spot on though.

I don't think the hallways are packed, that's a good balance of cover imo. Though you don't need to fill every alcove with props.

Make that blue arrow smaller, 1/2 the size should be fine.

I don't think you need the barbed wire ontop of the concrete building.

The sink looks out of place, i say use a different prop.

Also you might consider using a coloured patch instead of the hazard strip under your health and ammo kits.

"Bevel" (i think that's the right word) your trims on the ceiling in spawn. Also add a trim between your floor and grate brush's.

Looking very good.

As long as this section of the map has workable gameplay (working cp's/flag) then there's no reason why you shouldn't include it in a playtest weekend. :)

that gamplay if fully done bro.

it will be cramped tho. only having one side to attack will be a gorefest.

Hopefully, a fun gorefest :p

and its included. it should be the prettiest map outa everybodys.

wait till you see the final point. its a beauty.
