ok.
it's been a long time since i played that halo map, but i'm pretty sure the originals weren't as blocky as yours. By "blocky", i mean things are overly square and cubistic when they should have beveled edges or a more sophisticated design.
An easy place to start is to do trims or molding around building bottoms and edges and hallways, add bevels to plain corners to make them look more organic.
Where i would start is to take some screenshots from the original game (which i'm sure you did) and make things more like the shots. if indeed the original map is THAT blocky, then you've done your job already of recreating the original level, but you could always add to it to make it BETTER than the original.
Ambience. I can't remember if you had sounds or music in your map, but definitely add some if you don't. a slow gurgling sound for the creek, a misting sound where the falls drop into the creek, and maybe some computer/machinery hums and warbles inside the bases.
that's all i can think of for now. if you redo them map, pm me and i'll happily playtest it for you.

mapvault mods:
If a mod sees this please change my rating to 4 stars rather than 3. Despite the shortfalls, quite a bit of work went into this map (compared to another map i just rated) and it deserves 4 for the amount of effort alone that went into it)

Thanks for the wadincluding! = )
All in all a very nice awp map. I haven't played cs in a long time, but this reminds me of scout-knives for the awp. Geometry and lighting is nice. Layout is pretty cool with interesting stairways and hallways leading to bunkers below, at and above ground level. detailing is pretty good for one of these maps.
Since i don't play these, i really don't know how to guess at how the gameplay would be. It's a clean map with some nice work put into it though, but i wansn't blown away by anything, so i guess i'll go 4 stars.
I'm not even sure what to recommend for a map like this, since above-all the gameplay would be most important. I guess you could add fancier textures, and detail items as your wpolys will allow, and some sounds too as long as it doens't make the gameplay too buggy.
Anyway, pretty nice map, hope to see more from you in the future! = )

Yeah well I've just rented BF Bad Company. I heard it sucked, but the demo was kick-ass, and my personal friends that actually have it like it. Anything at this point is better than Ninja Gay Dan 2

at my uni you pay for each course you do, but there's a system where the government pays for you and it comes out of your taxes or whatever once you earn over a certain amount each year.

A dog got ran over, and all of the dogs near it began to attack it. My dog either bit one of the dogs so hard that he broke a tooth, or was also hit by the car. I'm not sure which. All I know now is that my dog is now high on painkillers right now.

When referring to free education, I'm talking about after high school (not sure if it's called the same thing over there, either).
Like, I know public schools is just school for basically kids that everyone pays for through taxes, but I want a country that pays for ALL of your education, like at university level.
Of course I won't take advantage of that unless I want to get a PhD in whatever there, as I am only going after I complete college.
I just don't want to be in a country full of morons.

The Netherlands! Enjoy our flat country and cycle safely all you want! Oh, and a great way to intercept Hunteh when he's passing by to the nothern countries:).

Then there're other kind of studies called FP, that aren't university, I don't know how you call them. It costs 100 ? each year.

Almost all european countries have free education.
In Spain, public education is better than the private one, the private education is made for religious snobs.
The public university is way better than the private. People on the private are there because they haven't got enough mark to go to the public one.
Don't know how is it on USA, but that's how it works here.
Than, during the scuffle, his tooth got knocked out.
I don't get it.
Free education might be a push, though, as I still don't know if any countries do it other than France (no way in hell am I moving to France).
Any westernized country with some sense looks better than the U.S., right now, anyways.
Somehow when I get around to going to the UK, I don't think CrazyWeek will even exist anymore. And if it does, someone is gonna need a life
