Layout seems really nice and lots of vertical gameplay, which is nice, not that i am any expert on dm layouts, but it seems like it would be fun.
Weapon placement seems decent and there are lots of interesting corridors to explore, and brushwork looks pretty solid to me throughout.
The most important thing i can see that could use real improvement is the texturing. A retexture would bump this map up a star easily. Note: almost 100% of the time if you use original textures you are going to get a negative rating on texturing unless you use them very creatively and definitely don't overuse them. E.g., the water cooling section would look pimp if not for those horrible stock HL textures.. everything else like the lighting and brushwork seems spot on.
Also a small disappointment is the train i was hoping to activate it.. can you start it up somehow?
Lastly, the server room is neat but it seems like it needs more work or detail or something.. it just seems artificial to me atm, but seems like it could pwn with a little work.
Nice map but it could be SO much better! Please pm me if you update and i'll up the rating! ***
