excelent map, but there was somthing rong, like the glass shining where it doesnt eaven have light, u could have upt'n a light in the midle of the room too so that the effect doesnt ocure, but still nice map.

Ha Ha, as always superb attention to detail and use of ambient effects in ur maps! = )
+Superb detailing Complicated trims, wall panels, flooring, everything is detailed nicely. I will say as much as i like detailing myself, it's a waste sometimes with the HL engine, as many times you can't appreciate the detailing unless you go in hammer and look at all the seperate brushes. (the doors for example are detail-brushed exquisitely, but because you can only look at them head-on, you can't see the details unless you walk right up to it. In these cases sometimes you can use stark texture changes for beveled areas/trims, and subtle lighting/shadow to make that nice detail stand out!
+Great Effects/sound Your maps always have nice sound and other realistic effects... bravo!
-Lighting You could use little textlights on the floor/ceiling incrementally down the hallway to give some nice shadows. I would also eliminate all the point lighting, xcept if you have some persisting weird shadows on your func_rotating gears, where in that case actually i'd make the texture of the gear itself a textlight at brightness of 1 to rid any harsh shadowing.
--glass those beautiful gears in the walls but you can't see them through the glass because it's too opaque! Careful if you have your brigtness/gamma/contrast settings tweaked, you might be getting a different picture than we see! = )
To Conclude, I thought it was an awesome and inspiring map, despite some few issues. 5 stars for wicked attention to detail and hard work easily.
I love the ambiance, the shakes are well placed, not overdone.
The only thing i say is the windows aren't transparent enough but Very good job. I like.
This is good! I just love the shakes, booming and industrial sounds.
WIN!
