Find your own leaks! Seems like a nice little map if you ever did finish this. Not sure about that underground passage though. Seems a weird spot for a detour.

There's some nice structures in this map. One or two glaring brushwork/texturing issues, but on the whole, seems like a solid — if in places a little simple — map.

This seems like a pretty good map. Decently atmospheric, nicely detailed. I'd complain that there's one ambient sound on a loop that is a little too omnipresent (and, after a while, annoying), and it's a shame you resorted to invisible walls in some spots. Still a rather spiffy little map, though.

Pretty damn good work for Goldsource. The action was a little dry, and in general the speed of everything is glacial... but it's still technically impressive. (If this was done in pretty much any other engine, it would not be.)

You almost certainly should be making this for HL, not CS. You're clearly going for a more singleplayer vibe, which CS isn't really suited for. There's the odd issue (disappearing buttons, the train being a bit... weird), but all in all, this could have been okay with some work. And by moving it to HL.

Scale everything way down, then see where you're at. Maybe vary those textures up a little too. Wandering through massive corridors that are all textured the same isn't that interesting.

I'm not sure what exactly this was an example of, other than the concept of using a camera and sequences together. But hey, it was perfectly fine for what it was.

Goodness. Scale is out the window, not enclosed, player_starts in the ground, textured terribly (a.k.a. not at all), plain bizarre design elements. I'd suggest starting a lot smaller and building up, not the other way around.

Pretty unimpressive for a collaboration work! You'd have thought one of you would have noticed some of the glaring issues here. Terrible looking water you can't get out of, ladders without transparency that jut through the floor, breakable objects that you somehow got to not disappear when you broke them. I'm not even going to touch the concept of this map.

A nice little map you've got going on here! You've made nice details using just default HL textures. Quality improvisation! There's the odd strange choice, like that giant rock pillar, the (frankly pretty good looking) broken pillar path underground that is seemingly unnecessary, and the path leading up above the maps walls. All in all, though, this map had potential. Polished up, could be a goer.

Yup, ol' Minimicus is still a quality little mod. The mapping is perhaps not as globally flawless as I remember it being, but there's still some fantastic entity work and nice details. The concept is still strong, too.

A nice little example. Level changes can be tricky, so I'm sure this would be helpful to many. My main complaint is how that elevator doesn't line up logically. It breaks a brain.

Your example map is a lil' broken, I'm afraid. The scientist takes a step and then nothing happens, despite the entities seemingly being dependent upon his animation. Otherwise, still a decent example of various triggers, as you intended.
Interestingly the map, indeed. This seems like a neat little snippet, though without most of the textures and not knowing anything about Natural Selection, I don't know how valid any of my judgements would be. Looks alright from here, though!

Not great. Between a sky brush you can walk into (which does not look good), blocky, bland rooms and no direction, this is either someone's first map, or sure looks like one.

This kind of crazy-coloured random-rubbish map has never really been my style. Given its ramshackle design, it's also hard to rate it alongside more conventional maps.
This map looked pretty neat, although there's some smaller parts that are truly disgusting. Like those steering wheels. Jesus. I'd like to see this polished up and finished (though for a more standard game mode).

For a first map, this is damn impressive. Almost... too impressive. It looks fairly well-made, but it is far too massive for the three sets of textures you used to fill up well. All the paths are too similar, and getting lost is a breeze. Don't get me wrong, as a first map, it's brilliant... but there's too many flaws for it to stand the test of time.

There's some well-made parts to this map, and some not-so-well-made parts. The rain, the forklifts, the train and the bombsite all show you were pretty good at what you were doing, but the indoor areas felt bland and uninspired by comparison. There's potential here.
P.S. May I suggest putting in the video's description some links to where each map starts being reviewed? That would be useful.
