my biggestest and bestestest cs map (de_splinter_clan) took me 2 weeks to make... thats not inlcuding the time it took me to fix a big goddamned leak in it.
Take your time. Have fun mapping. Think about what the common CS player wants. Gameplay is a huge factor but the gameplay gets ruined when theres nasty lighting or arcitecture that makes the game feel silly.
I suggest you do a total remix of this map with better lighting mainly and perhaps a few more walls that are not shoot-throughable.

not neraly as many black 'lines' down the cliffs. Removed annoying null textured brush that allowed players to see through wall in bombsite B.. ummm.. fixed the tank with an invisible ass.
Improved lighting... Re-aligned crates in T spawn.. umm... the usual stuff..

its... k.. needs more. and lighting hurts cos in some parts i need to really strain... half-decent.. work on your architecture and lighting and this will become a great map.

but... that still doesnt explain why you made a skybox or had a HUGE area of detailed sand texture that the player never sees! when you make a map that big, you need to work on lag reducing techniques.
Also, its not the laser it touches, it the light on the roof

the places i found that had the largest r_speeds were, much to my astonishment, not the open ares, but the bits closest to the edge of the map... did u make un-seen textures NULL?

------MINUS! MINUS IN WORDS!!! -- -- lights were nasty
piss off
it works for everyone else who has played it!
you do know this is for CS 1 .. not source
ummm.. fixed the tank with an invisible ass.
Improved lighting... Re-aligned crates in T spawn.. umm... the usual stuff..
and its really REALLY good.
The teamwork feel to it is sound and its not one of those do this-do that type maps.. i like it a load
good effort but these maps really are boring now
10/10 for exampleness
... it just gets soo boring.
they're still good for 1st attempts.
all fullbright.
All with blocky arcitechture.
All with repeating textures.
All skyboxed.
not even worth 1 star. Dont upload your first maps
do you use RAD?
also, examine the high quality of the screenshot
Also, its not the laser it touches, it the light on the roof
the alien looking thing (with no reason to be there) is inside the light...

Simple mistake, you have to wait for the door to close before you can get the crowbar
http://img296.echo.cx/img296/8763/hlthingstodo00040qw.jpg
THE END OF THE MAP IS JUST A DOOR THE LEADS INTO A.... A... A SKYBOX :O!!!! WTF!??!?!!?
http://img296.echo.cx/img296/7611/hlthingstodo00052kk.jpg
You can walk into the skybox!??!!?
wtf is omnipage image file??
ROFL!!! HAHAAHHAAHHAa
NEVER EVER compile without vis or RAD... without vis, entities will dissapear and without RAD, you wont get any lights...
The whole map has to be covered or it'll lag like a crazy bittch...
to reduce compile times, place the NULL texture on all unseen surfaces..
A simpler version of what was said
