I wouldn't agree with the first half, but I agree with the latter half.

ok, i have downloaded your map, and i like certain aspects, but some things have come to my attention:

firstly, texturing. you need to avoid colliding textures, such as the pic below. to stop this select both faces of both brushes and texture them as a whole. e.g:

shot0064.jpg

also i think the crates should not be breakable. they are good cover, and encourage the player to make use of the cover. but a single lob of a grenade will destroy the crates, i.e:

great cover!

shot0066.jpg

no cover.

shot0067.jpg

also, i noticed an error here, when u go down the steps neartthe entrance to the main area i think:

shot0072.jpg

shot0073.jpg

finally, you should avoid step brushes seemingly floating in mid air. you should make each step higher than the last, obviously, but it should touch the floor at the bottom. i.e:

shot0076.jpg

as you see it looks like the steps are floating in mid-air. not good.

things i like are the holes that people can shoot out of, and the prison/dungeon where there are dead bodies hanging from the walls. adds to the atomosphere well i think. i no they look wierd on the screen, but thats cause i have different skind installed i think:

shot0075.jpg

i look forward to the 1.1 update!

hope this helps you!

Yowzers m4rine! Just a tip to you, the tester... perhaps try to resize and brighten your pics. But nice work, none-the-less. You are learning, young grasshopper
