This is very neat - I really like the aesthetic design. It's a very ambitious map and while the brushwork is very simple, it doesn't really count against the quality except in a few places where the detail is just a little bit too sparse. You chose a look and you stuck to it, though, and that is awesome.
Aside from a few props being comically large there's really not much else to say about brushwork.

Lighting is perhaps a bit too dark in places which could potentially ware a bit thin over time.

Gameplay-wise, I only tested it alone so I can't be completely sure but it seems way, waaay too linear for counter-strike. There are only really two paths for terrorists to go and that combined with the CT's pre-existing height advantage I expect rounds would be extremely one-sided.

Overall, very cool design and an enjoyable place to explore, but I can't see it becoming a gameplay hit.

Looks awesome, and amazing job on the teaser video!

Can we possibly have some more in-game stills?(like an imgur album or whatev) Hopefully soon though, TWHL will have the ability to upload more than one screenie ;)

I'll try to actually play it soon as i can! =P

Map looks great, ty for the screens! And i have to disagree with Archie, it doesn't look "comically" blocky; I however haven't actually played it yet ;)

BTW, consider using bbcode to make your links hyperlinks and format your text, e.g.:

I never once used the term 'blocky', and certainly not comically so. Read first, please.

Sorry Archie was super tired when i read your post, so i guess words just blurred together in my head as i was skimming ='(

Also yes you never used the word "blocky", but you DID say the brushwork is "very simiple", which are basically the same thing =P

I dunno - I think simplicity can be used stylistically whereas blockiness tends to be pretty artless. This map definitely gets 'stylistically simple' imo.

Good point! Rim's dm_crete comes to mind ;P

Highly complex geometry would lower FPS. Too many items in one visible range. Had to do easier.

Finally ran though really quick.

First, very impressive/ambitious to build something this big/open in GS, kudos for that!

The reception areas looked AMAZINGLY clean and top-notch, despite the very LARGE scaling in areas Archie already mentioned ;)

Elevator too looked great, but you could easily add train doors to complete the effect. Some texture scales are a little big and some things are very simply built(blocky like they were built in minecraft), but i understand you only have so much to work with in GoldSrc!

All-in-all excellent and fresh work, i love it!
