Dling...

Well he'res my review:
******************
+Gameplay
*********************
- BORING texturing
- No ambient sounds
- Boring layout - you could fill the middle area with something coz it looks boring.
************************
Just another map made completely for gameplay. If you would make the map better-looking then it would be ok.
I'd give 2.5 stars, but let's make it 3...

Looks much better then the last one! Unfotnatly I don't have CS! and I advice you to learn how to use texture lightning!!

advise* Elon

+ gameplay

------MINUS! MINUS IN WORDS!!! -- -- lights were nasty

Well, personally, I thought the textures came out awesome. The sky texture and evening lighting matches all the textures. Not to mention, the textures match each other. But I guess you guys are the experts.

This is basically a fun scoutzknivez map to play in.

Bah can u edit comments here?

Just wanted to say I worked really hard on it for 4 days day and night. I know it looks easy to make but it's not.

+ Decent layout for this type of map
+ Would be fun to play online I think
+ R_speeds are OK

- No architecture to speak of. Loadsa cubes and a handful of wedges.
- Skybox is made completely wrong, you can see the corners of it clearly
- The lighting is a bit .... samey. Almost looks fullbright, even though it isn't.
- Textures could be aligned and scaled better in many places

I understand why this took you 4 days if you are a beginner. If this is your first map, then it is good. However I could make this is in an hour tops, and I'm not really a very good mapper (yet).

Good effort, if only really on the gameplay.

Keep practising.

Architecture and presentation - 1 Star
Gameplay - 4 stars
Overall - 2.5 stars -- rounded up to 3 stars

Well, i'd like to see more cover in the open area's and the indoor area. The sky box could be worked on maybe.

Lastly, many of your walls are shoot threwable

Of course, this is scoutzknivez, ur supposed to be able to shoot through them.

4 days and 4 nights?

A good map = 3 months

If you work on it with no stops it can take less!

QUOTE: A good map = 3 months

Me, 3 days tops.

3 months yea for like a huge de_ map or something.

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.
