Map based on the Sykhiv district of Lviv. The map is in active development, I will be glad to receive any advice and criticism

Beta 2 updates:

New locations added to the map (Added corridors, now only through them you can go to one of the map sectors), map structure changed, more optimization (Improved lower wpoly and epoly values), new textures, fixed bugs

Oh hey, new areas! Sadly the download link is broken. nvm it works now.

Feedback:

Outdoor light_environment should be white on midday, with ambient colour set to sky blue.
Grass texture is too rough. Find a softer one.
Grass colour doesn't match the tree or the other foliage. It's too green.
Grass terrain is super bumpy; I'm pretty sure it affects performance. It doesn't need to be super bumpy or super-divided. The central courtyard in crossfire achieves a non-flat terrain with just 3-4 brushes.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, it is possible that the color of the outdoor lighting under the sky is not perfectly matched and it seems that it is evening lighting. However, in reality, with such a sky, there can be soft yellow lighting, like in summer, the sky is clearly not winter or autumn. So I'll think about the texture of the grass, because before I thought the texture was not very contrasting and somehow got lost against the background. Of course, the terrain affects performance, but I don't know if I can optimize it so much that I don't lose this most important visual feature of the map. I don't really understand what central courtyard we are talking about? I would be grateful for screenshots

Thank you for your feedback. I may add a few more indoor areas if it turns out to be appropriate

This is honestly one of the best maps I have ever seen for gold source. When I saw the picture I didn't even realize it was gold source. I thought was Half Life 2 Deathmatch!
