i'd like to start out to say i REALLY like this map! It has a great structure and "feel", even though you can tell it right away it is a first-edition map.
+The bus prop is amazing world prop for hammer, as well the light polls and arrangement of the cables/lights. Using HLFix will help you shore up the the vertices--on parts of the bus and other places)that the hammer compile screws up trying to snap things to grid points. Using Atoms's Compilator makes using HLfix and other useful things like wadinclude, very easy.
+/-The buildings are really nice. use the clip tool to cut out some windows, and make an alternately named texture that is a textlight. This way, you can easily make random windows look like light is shining out.
-some areas are ridiculously dark, like the roof and the basement. I'm sure you are planning to add more lights.
Anyway, again, i really like this map. Contact me via PM or start a WIP thread if you want more feedback!
I rate this 3.5 for the ambitiously awesome bus prop and those cool train cables, and the general feel of the map. 3.5 rounds up to a 4. If it were more finished it would get 5 easy.
