Base Assault Map

Hi guys.
Well, I made this one after my last one got stuffed cos of the restrictions.
Any comments or suggestions, good and bad are welcome.

I didn't download it yet, but by watching those screenshots I think I'd feel dizzy playing there.....

It's not a very big map, so not sure how youd get very dizzy...

I think he's referring to the lack of texture variation.

Yes. That texture destroys my psychic balance.

Yeah, you should certainly think what else could the walls, floors and ceilings look like to put some variation.

Oh, fair nuff aye. Yeh it's supposed to be a military-style base, so I'm pretty sure those dont have much variation in texture

Lol this does in a way, remind me of Krizzly's Funhouse too...

But with the lack in texture variation...even thought it is themed as a military base... What you could do add a few more mapmodels to make the map seem less empty and plain.
Also, it would be nice if you make the map less bright (e.g. the hallway); by that I mean to take care in you lighting. Take a look at the official maps and some other [well-made] custom maps out there to get an idea of how the mapmaker did the lights.
Other than that, I guess you could umm... Add some vents/doors to add that much more detail. :)

looks good, the window doors being a clever touch, although I haven't downloaded it yet.
As for the textures I think it could do with the grey texture for the ceiling (the texture that is default for platforms) and a new texture for the border that goes round the tops of all the walls. See what other maps use for that.

I haven't looked at it yet so I don't have much of an opinion as of yet. By what I've seen just a few things:

1) Compress in a .zip format not .rar (easier to download cross-platform)
2) The wire texture on the border of the ceiling is uni-directional even when the geometry obviously moves it in a different direction. There is another variant of that texture going the opposite way, look into that.
3) Your use of heavy mapmodels in that 'control' room is making my lag-senses tingle.
4) Use more textures.

Yeh, thanks guys. Think I'll be remodelling this map a bit, although with the textures bit not entirely sure what to change it to, but I'll have a look.

Okay guys so I redid the map a little bit, changed up the textures and added a few more details. Hope you guys like this one.
Oh and still can't figure out a good ceiling texture. Help with that would be great (name of the texture if possible so i can look it up in the packages)
