"And what about light? There is a light_environment, what else should there be?"
More variety in colours/tones, etc.

This is definitely taking a trip up epic lane, I love your progress so far. The detail of finished buildings is overwhelming & the diversity of areas you can access so far is very impressive. Optimizing areas that open and detailed will be one hell of a challenge. :>
I love the overall architecture & texturing - you've captured the looks of an Eastern European city very well. The bridge being destroyed upon c4 exploding is a very nice touch as well. Ambience? Perfect background track, though some randomly triggered sounds (think de_torn crossed with Paranoia?) would be a great addition.

What I don't get, however, is the radiation & mutated corpses lying around (Paranoia props?). Sarajevo was never bombed with nuclear weapons as far as I know. :?
Also, I still dislike the lighting. The one in your very first posted version better suited the theme imo. I'd really stick with plain grey & gloomy instead of the current slightly redish tint.

Anyway, keep up the awesome work! :]

EDIT: Shouldn't it be de_sarajevo by now?

You mean Agoprom? The only similarity's the tracks, otherwise it's nothing like that area.

As for the map, I really like the idea, however its execution is far from good. I'm guessing this is one of your first Source releases, as there's plenty of leftover GldSrc mapping techniques used. HL2 content doesn't blend with TF2 content too well, giving the map a rather awkward look. There's also a significant lack of detail & props throughout the map. Lighting & ambience should be improved as well.

As for gameplay, I think the layout is too linear and plain, giving the defending team a fairly big advantage (engie spam?). Add more flanking routes, some camping ledges for snipers, etc.

Overall, a neat idea you should've spent more time polishing.

Indeed. What makes you so sure? Your experience? Your.. skills? Nonsense, I say! Surely Goldsource can handle ~10k epolies in a single model! Tis' but a matter of wishing hard enough.

Same situation as Livey's here. You can't drive manual if you've passed with automatic. Also, Tetsu0's right. And to my limited knowledge, cars with automatics are usually more expensive?

Most of you pro-auto folks make it sound like changing gears manually is the hardest task one can ever get behind the wheel. Nonsense. Once you're used to it, it makes fairly little impact to your driving experience.

Not that I'm implying automatic isn't more comfortable for everyday driving, etc. It's just that the difference isn't that damn huge as some of you portray it.

Heh, reminds me of my very first attempts at CS mapping. Something magical about hedge mazes that makes you want to include them in your first maps. ;]

I think it would be easier to use an env_shooter and a simple env_explosion. Still, neat example. :]

Not too many DoD players around here. I suggest you find some bigger, more decent DoD server and ask if your map could be playtested in its forum. :]
