Really good read. I am a little saddened you never changed the BLU and RED brushes on those buildings. It'd look so much nicer as a custom decal.

This sure took you a long time. What's next in your mapping life? :) I suppose it'd be that mod with the snow effect etc right?

Wow man, I've said it before and I'm saying it again: You are my biggest inspiration. I'm working on an arena map myself and the only reason I got started was because of this. Great job, loved reading this.

This map looks superb, and I hope that Valve puts this in as an official map!!

Excellent, I skimmed over it as I don't have time to read the whole thing right now but I will definitely and it looks of great quality, read the first few para's and watched the video, really like what you've done.

Time to finish off the 3 maps in development for Paradigm Decay of course!

Great stuff! I think you should ask Blink to put it into the woefully underused Articles section, so people can find it at a later date.

I don't mean to be a nay-sayer, but the lighting in that map isn't very well styled to TF2. That's just my opinion though. Personally, I'd have the sun lighting angles from a bit higher and the ambient light values higher too. Just so the map is more well-lit. Currently, the lighting seems more appropriate for HL2. Again, just my opinion.

I think this map really, really has potential for the future. I wouldn't be surprised if this map makes it into an Valve update.
