just downloaded, currently making my own cs de map wanted to see what i was up against ;).

cool lighting effects, especially the red glowing effect u have in the screenie, but speeking for everyone on a pentium3, it makes for a very laggy experience. Very blocky architecture, but all the props doesnt make it seem so bad, Yet the fake green doors u have look really fake, i suggest carving them into the wall. Also, it is a very compact map, like u said, but i have found that to be the most common falt in all custom cs de maps. Finally, there are lots of useless rooms in the map that really serve no purpose at all. But, overall, a fairly decent map, and im sure for those who have decent video cards it would be fun to play.

Whoa, stfu. Never carve. Carve = pure evil. Even just plain squares.

well if you use it right its a very handy tool. Never carve an object into another object, but you could use the carve tool to cut out of the wall and only add a couple w_poly's but and make it look a lot better.

Carving a square hole out of a square brush is NOT gonna do any harm. Clipping and/or VM would just yeild the same results in that situation.

Carving is ok, as long as you use squares, it's a good way to save time. Even experienced mappers use it...

hmm well i never carve i find that in most to all circumstances its way faster to just use the clipping tool.

yeah. I agree with spinakerjones.

carve ftl.
VM and clipping ftw.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll note them in future. Sorry for experiencing lag when playing. My own computer rolls the map ok.
