oh and i dont know why but i can see your AAATrigger brush on the piano, which activates the piano playing. Either you cant place entity's inside models or something weird is going on.

If this map was incorparated into a halflife or even future HL2 single player mod, i believe would work well. The level design is very good. I like the models, the tree sprites need to be fixed up, they dont look too convincing with the way you have the sprites overlapping.

ok, i took a look at your map, first the good points : the layout of your map is good, and the way everything is placed i like it, also plenty of room to move around. I like the outside building textures, and ground textures, they go together well. Nice how you scattered some pictures around, not to many crates is good too see.
The bad points : for the bad news the r_speeds are too high, for a counterstrike map this would not work to well online. It could work for The Spedcialists but still your r_speeds need to be reduced. r speeds of 1500 was the most i have seen in one part and around 1000 in a another part, they need to be reduced. Also i noticed you carved your archways and i can see the brush split up all across your wall, not good, i suggest you read the tutorial on vertex manipulation, that should fix that problem. The textures you have placed indoors, the one i think really looks out of place is the ceiling texture, the wood one, either the texture size is too big or you scaled it too high, thinner planks of wood would look more nice. Also there a a few other problem brushes i noticed, the round pergola thingy with the plants hangin down and water at the bottom, that plant brush needs to be shortend by a unit or two at the bottom of it to get rid of that texture line. Also the doors are a little too big, they dont look right, way out of scale compared to the rest of your map.
Overall i think your map has good potential, fix up the r speeds and the carved arches and you have a map that i would play on CS.

well i didnt get a chance to download your map, but i did look at the screenshots, i must say that it would suit a half life map, say if you were to make a single player level for it, it would be cool.
Good effort on your first map, by the way where did you get those tree,and plant textures from? are they your own work or downloaded. Im in desperate need of flora textures, i havent got the proper tools to make them myself.

ok, after playing through your map, its not bad, i like the tower and rock face you did, looks like you put alot of work into it, i like your trees, simple but effective. Theres a few problems i noticed, there not that bad, i noticed theres a block sticking out above your head just as you run out of the hostage room, you knock into it slowing you down, also the vent, considering it is so long, it would be better off making it bigger so that you can run through it, it takes a while to get through it crouching. One of your double doors where one opens up and the other opens down, they dont open at the same time, you need to use a multi_trigger so they open at the same time, do so by placing a brush covered with the aaatrigger texture and turn it into an entity and select multi_trigger from the list,in the properties under "target" give a name for the doors, like door1, then close the properties box, bring up the properties of one of the doors and name it "door1", do the same for the second door also naming it "door1". Place the brush just infront of the door so that someone who touches the aaatrigger brush , the door will open, also place one on the other side, make it big enough so that it cant be jumped over or ducked under.
As a counter strike map, it doesnt fit the theme.
