Some of the vehicles were floating. Other than that great job!

You asked me for feedback in the [url=irc://irc.quakenet.eu.org/.map%20]#.net IRC channel[/url] the other day. I'll post it here too for all to see 
( And I added some more ).
First: I like it. It's laid out in a nice condenced way to make instant mayhem, you can snipe over a long distance and you can avoid snipers in the trences... I believe it has a good balance.
Now, here is the feedback:
1. The trench walls have a concrete look, but the texture is a wooden one... and the texture loops badly. Use a concrete texture like normandy/bunker_concX ( X = 1 to 4 ) or get a more "wooden" wooden texture like general_structure/jh_oldwood1.
2. The vehicles float ( as already mentioned above ).
3. Set:
4. Drag out the horizon a bit to avoid the "end of the world" edge beeing seen ( combine with 3 above ) or make a ridge around the edge high enough that opayers cannot see beyond it ). I know this is just eye-candy, but it affects players.
5. Don't use clips within the barb-wire ( or other player stopping brushes ), I find it really frustrating when a place looks like you can get to it, but you can't because of an invisible barrier. remove it or combine it with an ostacle the payer can see.
6. A tiny tunnel connecting the trenches? A bit illogical maby, but so is 32 WW2 soldiers teleporting into a small space surrounded by barb-wires
If I did not metion something above, then I like it.
Good work!

PS: All ladders work, except the one to the east of the MG:s.

...in the .scr file to get the gloomy fog effect of a gray, rainy day.$world farplane_color "0.3 0.3 0.3"
level.fogplane = 3500
$world farplane level.fogplane

No clip thingy? You loony man! 
Well, If you go as far North as U can in the trenches: The mud goes up a bit... you can ( just barely ) get up on the edge of the north trench wall as the clip ( or what ever it is ) does not cover the north trench wall. But here is no way in the Devil's home ( Yes, that would be Hell, thank you ) that you can get up on the....*thinking spatially*... East wall even if it looks possible enough to my eyes...
