A map that takes place in a city in the middle of a thunder storm. I did 2 really cool and unique effects. I made dust clouds in the 3Dskybox to simulate storm clouds, so don't forget to look up! Also I Used a water texture in the ground to simulate reflective full puddles. So don't forget to look down as well!
Also I used pakrat and I don't know if it worked, so tell me if you can't see any textures.
Pros: The effect of storm clouds in the air is really cool.
The heavy rain is also very cool along with the soundscapes.
The puddles look cool, but some look a bit blocky.
Its a pretty good representation of an accurate looking city.
Very good use of 3D skybox
Good lighting.
Cons: Some plain buildings
Open space in the roads, and in the T spawn halls.
Halls were too open and plain (and too long)
Other thoughts: The FPS is pretty good considering you used multiple func_prec... brushes, and have wide open spaces.
It has a cool theme, and has some cool encounter points.
All in all its a good map XD
Pros:Very impressive storm clouds http://img47.imageshack.us/my.php?image=csmetropolis0001dt1.jpg
nice heavy rains fits in
Skybox was well made
Cons:Like Xysos said some plain buildings
Halls are too long
The sewers should have multiple exits/entrances
Overall A nice map 4 out of 5 StArS
NICE WORK

Edited it for you
I've seen better but your outdoor additions (the puddles and the clouds) are awesome.
+ It's a good sized map, not sure how the layout plays out since i just ran through it by myself.
+ You made an attempt at nice effects, though they come out a little flawed.
- The storm clouds swirl and move WAY too fast, it looks more like dissipating smog than storm clouds.
- Already been mentioned, but some of the water appears too squarish/blocky.
- You used Italy/Dust themed door models on the building sides, and they aren't aligned with the window textures very well.
Fix those simple little mistakes and my rating would go up to 4 stars, because after all, you mapped a fair-sized city section!
Oh, and some more ambient lights would look nice.
I don't know if this is the same http://www.snarkpit.net/index.php?s=maps&map=1861 (broken download)
