I'm no official reviewer but here goes

Well Just from looking at the screenshots - Can't play as i'm at work some of the texturing could be better for instance in the graveyard pic you've got some kind of structure with a cross lying down in there the textures look really weird like out of scale or something - which I feel makes it look rushed

Also your church looks like its just a bunch of bricks theres no variation in the texuring - if you look at the church in The Hunt theres collumns and different textures which looks alot more realistic.

The Building with Saint Floretes on it also looks weird you have shutters over looking a beam a main beam in the texture which looks very weird.

hats it for now I'll take a look tonight

You'll get there my 1st attempt at a map was so badly textured i gave up, all I'll say is take your time texturng - look at pictures of buildings and try to reflect them when i plan a map out i look around the net for pictures of buildings i can use for reference.

Once you get more experienced you'll be texturing alot quicker and when u see the end result you'll be so much happier

Basicly its where to textures overlap if you go to that part of the map and look at it you'll see like a white flash

Also theres one other thing that i forgot to mention, Your sky is dull and gloomy which looks fine but then you've got sun in the map its a little odd to look up at the gloomy sky and get blinded by flaring

It's an objective match (Which takes far more skill than team death match does, I might add), and the highest score was 15 kills in four rounds, which is good.

And the time limit isn't 1 minute. You were looking at how long every player had been in the game for the current round. :roll:

15 was the one player see the kills is for that round, total is all the rounds, time is the time the round lasted. make sense??
