Just played it with some bots. Even though it's a small map and it doesn't have any vertical combat in the map, it provides good entertainment. The gameplay is best described as "fast and furious".

I like the underwater bombsite. It makes interesting gameplay. And it's fun to see the blinking red light of the bomb under murky water.

I also enjoyed the unique look of the map. It has a style of its own, instead of just borrowing the theme from the stock maps. There are enough details to make the map good-looking and realistic.

However, I wish the prop_physics were made into prop_physics_multiplayer. The constant bumping of the phys objects is a distraction during a fire-fight.

I posted this map at CStrike Planet.

Nice detail and good brushwork. Good texturing too, and props (although annoying sometimes) were well chosen.
The map has a bit of a maze-like feeling to it, so I kind of miss a reference point telling me where I am in the map (maybe a tall building, something in the skybox etc)
I dont know if it's only me, but some places seem to have absolutely no cubemaps in them! (wooden floors in a dark part of the map)

I second Kasperg with the cubemaps. The shiny wooden floor in the dark corridor looks odd.

I also forgot to mention that the framerate is a bit low for this map. Even though it's not a large map, sometimes the framerates dip to the 30's for me (with no one playing). For reference, I am usually in the 100's for the official Turtle Rock maps.

Perhaps it could be better optimized too?

I agree with satchmo. The average framerate was 30. I dont see any reason why it would be like that. Also, buildcubemaps, and add more cubemaps. Its good, but you really need to optimize! Hint brushes, area portals, snapping verticies to grid, Func_details, lower lightmap scales, etc. I give it a 4 out of 5, but if its meant for multiplayer and not for looks, then it gets a 3.
