Very nice map! The rain and rubble add a lot of atmosphere. You have taken advantage of the Z-axis to add variation to the given layout, very well done. There are enough props around and weapon placement seems right. The map reminded me of some day of defeat maps (must be the rain and the rubble :D) The only negative point I can see is that the orange-ish texture is imo overused throughout the map. Cubemaps turned out mostly well, but some of them look strange (in the area around the room with 2 staircases) 4.4/5

Thanks for the comments Kasperg. I thought I would use the orange texture through the map because there might not be the kind of variation in an actual hostpital as in a normal DM map, but I understand what you're saying

Of course, from a realistic point of view, it is obvious that your choice is the right one (it plays a huge part in the "identity" of the building). But from a gameplay experience POV, it could become a negative factor after a while, specially since the layout we had for making this map moves us from one place to another in very short amounts of time. Just like it was predicted, this layout has inspired very different maps that each give different answers to the same problems.

I'd D/L if I played DM more. Don't know why, but DM isn't big in South Africa :/
I think if it had as many players, it would pwn CS:S
