It's far too open...barracks rooms should be more cramped. And I think the bed covers would be green, not brown. Use some opfor textures, and check out opfor's boot camp.

This map is real hot stuff! It would never cross my mind to make anything like this! Well, I'm new in this bullshit of mapping and modding, and I've got some experience in this, so I can't really qualificate a map as good or bad... but for me is really good. Contine WCD!!!!!!!

aww, poor dumb angry assclown needs attention cause in "real life" he gets pissed on. how funny
i'll give you attention you little puppet-o-mine. lol what's the matter? what happened to your awesome band that you are in where you are always playing gigs, going out, and getting laid?? rofl you sure spend a WHOLE lot of time at this site talking crap and posting gay porn pics, to be so involved in a band... or to have ANY life other than the make believe you talk about here.
just another nobody outed in a forum for being a fat little bald headed old man pretending to be some cool ladies man in a band. lol, yeah, cause so many chicks are into fat, smelly nerds who spend every waking moment trying to impress geeks at a half-life forum with pics of man arse.
lol i love watching you self-destruct like that... and i'll be here to see this site flourish after you're gone with no one remembering anything about the pathetic little speck of shit known as peace of shit...

uhh pretty bad... a few blocks, a couple cylinders... texture definition between the monitor, keyboard and speakers is way off. face splitting on the floor, gay PRE-half-life looking lights... in a word total noobishness.
you should have gotten LAST place in this compo... oh wait, you did! ROFL NOOB
looks pretty bad with no detail. those lights look awefull too. copying and pasting the same cot and locker into a box with cheesy lights hanging down is nothing great... sorry.

I played this map and loved it. I really liked the theme with the neon and black, very different. The head crab made me jump and the dont go outside the walls was freaky. Sure its not perfect but what is? 5/5

To reduce the lag, simply lower that sky brush, no need for it to be so high. Lower it so it is just touching the tallest part of those towers.
and no, those brick barricades aren't lagging the map, teh fact that it is very open is lagging the map.
Listen to 7th, and don't keep updating this, try making some singleplayer maps using entities and trying to get the scale right. You seem to have a good grasp of the "basics" finally, so just refine those skills.

Triangles, it really is all about triangles.
Experiment, it's hard at first, but try tweaking vertex points and see what you can acheive.
Here's a tip:
Select multiple brushes, all around the single vertex point you want to manipulate. Select the Vertex Tool, and 'drag' a box around the vertex point, now drag that box around the vertex in a side/top/front view, so a box is surrounding the point, now hit enter, it will select all vertex points within that dragged-box (on brushes that have been highlighted) You can now cut down the time it takes you to vertex large areas.
To ZL: Yes, they are high poly, but they can be used in a lot of scenarios, good thing about them is that you can use them as hills/cliff walkways, just retexture the top with a grassy tex and it works a treat.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys rip them apart seeing as a guy on the HI forums wanted 'em.

I can fix most of those.not the lag cause it don`t lag with me.By shallow do you mean that building in the left of the pic.If so that is not finished.MY next upgrade will have windows and a damsged light on that building.Mayby if I have time to read the tut there will be some turrets on the fort.The only way the lag might be stoped is to remove the birck barrecade which took time to make

+ Runs + Really nice brick barricade thing by the doors - Lags like hell - Really boring architecture - Unrealistic: doors too shallow, floating elevator.
Not all bad though, I can see you're starting to get the hang of entitywork. I'd definitely recommend practising with all the Intermediate tutorials now in single-player maps, just for your own practise. Have a look at the Example Maps in the Map Vault, too.

I don't think anyone was truly happy with their pieces, btu we can only get better at making things under pressure and in a short space of time.. so it's gotta be a good thing

yeah, the mouse and the monitor were weakpoints for sure. I wanted to rotate them both to make them look more real. Prolly should have left them straight on. The monitor scale was awful tool. I can't believe I submited it that way, but it was the last part I worked on and was tired of the whole project. Thanks for the compliments and pointers!

It's actually really cool man, I think you shlda won tbh, there was some really cool detail, but a bit of sloppy mapping like that mouse (which was a great idea) had a few misalgined briushed.
Go here: http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL&type=architecture , it will help you find ways to make your map more interesting.
Please, go buy some tutorials from the local Tutorials Shop and go home, put it in your DVD/VCR player and start practicing those mapping skills.
Tlax
just a box, i can make it < 1 min
You know nothing. Retard.
Looks good from the screenshot.

Could do with grouped texlights when you use the switch?
On the whole, awesome man

I saw this map on Countermap over a year ago =/
