I finally got my "War Room" looking decent:
Too many hanging wires, doesn't look professional. And the ceiling feels blah, maybe some support beams w/ vents or something?

I think what you are looking for is depth. The ceiling right now looks flat and barren. You can look up some sorts of architecture for ceilings and some tf2 maps for reference. I think the ropes look fine but it does seem a bit overkill. At least add some variation in the distance of them or the hang.

I think the problem is that you are having BLU push a bomb along a track to blow up a tiny dam. A dam which isn't even holding back water and has pipes coming out of it. Also, it's a skybox model.
well, uh, this is what i think
looks nice, tho it looks like theres nothing to stop red building sentry nests on the low roof above the spawn exits, which will be damn hard for blu to shift from that angle. also, it looks like the little dam at the end is right next to the start. actually the map looks like one large area
that square slopy stairy thing next to the point is just weird
you can see three capture points from this one position. thats Bad
can players even get up/down that ramp without riding the cart? that will be very hard, if not impossible, to get across for blu, as red soldiers could jsut knock them off into what is probably that death pit. also, stop the ugly shadows by turning the shadows off on your tracks
this looks like the final point. does red even have a spawn? can blu just walk to here right from their spawn? and yes, skybox prop in the Not Skybox is a big no no
to be brutally honest, i would scrap it and start again. plan your map on paper or something before you build it. give each capture zone its own area focused around that point, and also have it so that you can see no other capture point from each one.

Those lights are strange, you're gonna want to use some other kind of spotlight. Flesh out the ceiling more like Frozen said. Spread the wires out so they aren't so concentrated and maybe lose a few. Put trims around the maps so they don't look like they were broken out of a larger map. I'd recommend losing a couple intel models and using instead binders or books or coffee mugs or anything like that.

Thank you, I will fix the Spawncamping. Also I will cut my map into little pieces.

Yeah I will remove it

Thank you for this hint

I think I will make maybe a bridge and yes I will turn the shadows off.

Yes this is the final Point. The Red Spawn isnt finished yet( not even started) and Blue shouldnt be able to walk there from their spawn.

Actually I plan my map on a paper ( I fail ). But I wont scrap my map. Anyways thank you very much!

So first off, I agree about fleshing out the roof, like everyone else. I actually like those lights, but it looks to me (from this angle at least) that they're just suspended from the roof with wires, and not actually connected. Love it besides that :thumbup:

Also May I add that Could the wires have brackets of some sort. It just doesn't feel right for them to hang into the wall like spagetti.
