I reviewed it before, but then you deleted the map.
+/- Architecture. The buildings are poor. +/- Texturing. The general texturing is poor and you made some strange choices. But the rocks blended in nicely along the grass and path. +/- Ambience. There was some, but a bit too loud for my taste.
- Lightning. It's fine, but the dark lightning is bad for gameplay. - Gameplay/layout. Combine the many sniper spots with the dark lightning and running out in the open isn't save anymore.

Well, I have given you my points before and half of them still stand. But seeing from where you started, I think you deserve the 4 stars. My compliments.

I'm not really a fan of these types of maps, as in, that 'rimrookish' style. However, I can't deny the fact their beautifully made, but unlike maps from Rimrook, this one seems like it'll actually have decent gameplay! (And all you Rimrook fanboys, stfu plz..)
It's basicaly a killbox, but in a good way.. Weapon placement is decent I guess, I don't know about that RPG up top, seems like a nice camping spot, everyone coming up gets a big fat rocket in their face..
I like the simpelistic architecture combined with the 'quiet' lightning, it gives the map a natural charm. I like the ambience aswell.
Overall, I like this map, it isn't the best around, it isn't top notch, but it's most certainly above averange. 4 well deserved stars!

Ow yeh, OMG MOVE THIS TO UNFINISHED SECTION, ITS NOT FINISHED, ITS A BETA!!! Seriously, lots of maps get moved to unfinished when one says his map is finished but needs some work. Kinda sound like a beta to me, the map is done, but he's still working on it to improve it. But this guy is a regular, so it doesn't get moved now does it? Sorry to start flaming here, but I felt like pointing this out.

+ Lightning. I liked it. Kinda atmospheric. + Ambience. I think you did well, a lot of people tend to forget it. One thing I must adress you to, when you fall, you'll get the classic aaaaah scream, but when you fall at the waterfall, you don't hear that.
+/- Architecture. It's decent, I didn't found it anything speceal really, sometimes I actually found it strange. A big cylinder on the roof.....wtf? I really didn't know what to think about the 'house' tbh. What is it, a house, a villa, some kind of ruin? If it is a house, it certainly doesn't look like it. Also, the pond of water with the fountain looked awfully wrong. I also found the surrounding walls quite short in lenght. I was kinda aspecting a big fall. +/- Texturing. Overall nice, but I found the texturing of the house kinda bland. +/- Weapon Placement. I haven't played this with other people, but it's quite easy to notice the crappy RPG placement etc..
- Size. Even tho it's ment for small games, I still think it's rather small.
I really don't see why this is better than the avg deathmatch map, so 3 stars.

Man, this really makes me sad.
This map gets lots of replies, while most good maps here get like 1 or 2.
Stop bashing maps like these, what is it going to solve? Try to give some advise on how to improve instead. Then maybe in the future, he'll start posting some beautifull maps.
Personally I don't mind people releasing their 1st map. They can improve their mapping abilities from helpfull replies.
..
About the map itself, don't place the spawn points so close to each other, trust me, getting killed while you spawn is really annoying. The map is just a big block, try to make some trees or something to give the map a feeling of a place, realistic or unrealistic.

Missing homecinema.wad
Seriously, recompile the damn map and WADINCLUDE ALL THE WADS YOU'RE USING. I'm not going to rename any wad files to homecinema or something simply because that confuses things up. It's your job as the mapper to include the wads in the map or ATLEAST by giving them in the ZIP file.

This map begs for a custom sky.
The map looks quite nice, even tho I think this map would be madness to play with 3 players or more, small hallways are annoying. I also found a RPG, this powerfull weapon should always be avoided in small size maps imho.
When I walked trough the map a few times, I remember this map. It's one of the official maps in DMC!! Only different textures and obviously completely rebuild.
I couldn't remember this map in Quake, but heh, I only have Quake 3: Arena.
(Btw, those rocks looked fucking awesome!! I'm impressed.)

I'm a bit late with writing some mean comments am I? Everything has been said already.
Really bad texturing (custom textures are a must for this one..), no rewards for going out in the wild while you die in 4 hits by those big monster thingies (I like Starwars, but I don't know how they're called. :P), bland lightning etc.
It needs some work, but I think if done properly, this could bring a new sort of gameplay.
One thing tho, maybe I just missed something, but I couldn't get the rotating shotgun things with a yellow brick above them? Explain please.

DMC!!
I think it's a bit strange the towers are just standing in the void. Maybe you should surround it with lava or water. Or make the walls very long with a black floor. Put a trigger_hurt in the middle of the lenght of the walls.
The map isn't really a beauty, but it looks nice.
3 stars for you.
Btw, I shouldn't make a hldm or hl2dm version. Be original and work on new maps.

I agree with ZL for the most parts. Kinda disagree on the 'detail' thing.
Gameplay above detail always. When i'm focusing on the game, I really don't pay attention towards small details. So in my book, lack of detail isn't a con.

I actually disagree with Rowleybob and Kasperg and that doesn't happen to often..
The map itself looks decent, I understand its general blockyness has a reason. But seriously, those cars really and I mean really looked shitty.
The map is quite big, it actually took me a few times to get to the windmill. I must say the map lacks weapons. For such a big map their aren't much weapons. Also, getting the gauss is quite difficult, because you'll have to run in open space. You would be better off going for the egon. It's easy to get and has a lot of ammo.
I liked the fake HDR action. Looked sexy.
I won't rate, dunno what to rate, I guess it would be a 4.

Meh, nice architecture, but that's about it. Can't judge about gameplay, this is one of those maps you really do need to play with other people to judge..
The texturing is HORRIBLE, I figured you got the textures straight from quake as I looked at the lava, that lava was ugly and it didn't hurt you, even in the most unrealistic games lava hurts you..
Also didn't liked the lightning, dunno, it was so bland.
Also, I had to retry 'the dome' part about 8 times!! That gas hurts... With fully use of the health give thingy I had 75 hp and I died 8 times by that gas in 2 like.. touches
Really got on my nerves, so I just noclipped to get passed that gas.

Is this the Ansith I know? You've certainly improved your mapping skills.
The first 2 rooms were really nice and the small sequences were a great touch, then after these 2 rooms, it became really bland, I guess you need to work on those..
I liked the small gman scenary, always does the trick.
Anyway, I do think you need to improve on the ceiling, true the whole map the ceiling was really really bland, same texture all over again with those big bad (slightly unneccasery, those give quite some light you know, you got 4 in 1 room, I think you could lesser them to 2 and then some other ceiling detail) lights. I would also use create some difference between the textures, ofcourse it's a lab, but you had the same floor and ceiling textures all over the map, even the lab textures got some difference between them.
I'm going with a 3, but with a bit more work, it'll be a 4 anytime soon.

So, is that fullbright? ;p
The moderator removed the comments of the tard I was responding to.
I really wouldn't know how to solve that problem now, haven't been mapping for HL2 in ages, but i'm sure you've found out now.
Also, darken the lightning a bit. Cuz' it kinda looks fullbright now.
Is that fullbright?
Is that fullbright?
I actually liked it, but heh, I even like iceworld.
It does look dull tho, can't deny that.
@ Duffm@n.
You would be suprised how many people play iceworld and copied versions, such a these. In other words, ppl do like to look at bland textures blocks.
You should have added water or something tho, because the plain floor next to the path is kinda silly.
3.5 --> 4 stars.

Nice and clean hallways.

It's quite popular, i've played it on several servers.
Original concept, but in my honest opinion, badly made.
Probably a lot of spawn + die action.
Also, you can jump to the other side.
Hammer thinks you use all the wads in your textures list.
Why not PM? Why should I?
See it as a comment on your map.
..wasting space? I lol'd.
Seriously, recompile the damn map and WADINCLUDE ALL THE WADS YOU'RE USING. I'm not going to rename any wad files to homecinema or something simply because that confuses things up. It's your job as the mapper to include the wads in the map or ATLEAST by giving them in the ZIP file.
Espen, hush. Just because it looks simple doesn't mean it's no fun.
Kurosaki, WADINCLUDE PUH-LEASE.
