I wonder what took you more time to do, setting up the logic or making those letter brushes?Logic system that awards points to players for kills and objective captures, and allows them to spend those points on abilities.
Found letter prefabs online, what took longest was figuring out how to do this with <1000 entities.
We're 3/4s to 2000 pages (at a 10 posts-per-page setting) for this thread. When we hit the big 2k, should we make a new thread?
This is the red side of my map, but I don't quiet like it. How can I make it more feel like a red base? In my opinion, the concret walls give it a very blue feeling at the moment. (For a screenshot of the blue site, see a page before)

As that is a 5CP map, I tend to notice that shadows are more neutral, or at steeper angle to reduce the amount of shadows in most maps. To give the effect of a harsh, cooler feeling for BLU, I'd try to use greys or soft blues with metal and/or concrete textures which are wonderful for this. For the RED side, I'd tend to lean towards more of a rustic feeling with wood. 2fort has an excellent presentation (detail-wise) to show the contrast between sides and tries to use lighting for emphasis.
And here's a color guide (made by Valve, used by many content creators, and is often found on these forums):

I feel like your going for a nice factory theme with this last point... so my idea would be to take something that this factory would produce, or use to produce, like pumps, or glass, and then take a synonym or some word correlating with the word: factory, and you could get something like station, or works... combine them and you get something like pumpstation (my map) or glassworks (Im pretty sure you know what that is...)
Trying to learn how to detail. Please critique/advise.
In my opinion, it is great in general. Probably better than me.
I'm bad at english so let me give you a visual summary
I meant to say the
'bit more cargo will give clearer narrative. A payload or some sort will work nice. Take a look at upwards if you want to know what I mean.'

I think you've got a great start already. Some parts are a little bit empty, but most of the time it's better to have too little than too much detailing. Density of detailing is unbelievable important and it looks like you've struck a nice balance already. There are a few blank walls were maybe you could add a window or electrical box, or light or whatever. Just as long as unimportant areas have less than the important areas, E.g. capture points, common enemy holding positions.
You're texturing seems pretty good, no complaint there. You're lighting looks a little bland, and probably could use some refinements. Honestly, I don't know everything about detailing, and even less about lighting, so I can't really help you there. Although there a few great tutorials I recommend reading if you're stuck on something.
