Also, you should appreciate the flames that you receive as feedback here. GameBanana and the workshop is where you go to get feedback like "Zomg the best map evar u is genius!", while at Interlopers you'll probably have somebody point out something you did wrong or not receive any feedback at all. The 2nd kind is actually useful, even if it comes in the form of a flame.
Like the comment "OH EM GEE WAI IS DER LIEK CRATES EVRYWHUURRR?" is flame, but what you could get out of it is: maybe I need more variety in my prop selection. The next time you test you'll probably notice the creates a whole lot more. To mix things up you could add some forklifts, large pipes, or alter the world geometry somehow to give the same cover that the crates do in certain places. Also, since there really isn't any decor on the walls, it draws all of your attention to the floor, which is littered with crates.
If you add some more visual details to the walls, like electrical wires running along them, sparks, pipes, some non-standard lighting effects like a colored window or interesting shadow effects, it would really take some attention off of the warehouse full of boxes.
Good looking map as I said before hand, but there's my 2-cents for constructive criticism. The trick is extracting constructive criticism from what appears to be flame.

In other words, just shitposting to shitpost. You and Paul, on the other hand, actually gave effort in how to better my future projects, which I enjoy. Thank you.

Because I'm not here to boost your ego, I'm pointing out your faults. Sure, I'm using a negative tone but that's because I rarely say anything positive. I get it that it's rough and might steer you away from mapping, my bad, that was not my intention. I'm just saying that instead of defending yourself put that effort into adding shine onto your map; I really didn't want to attack you, just your map. You just slightly ticked me off and that's why I turned the attack towards you. My fault and exactly why I try to avoid emotions, too messy.
Anyway, you're only starting and I applaud you on your bravery of already sharing your maps. I've yet to find my maps of the quality to dare share them. I wish you all the luck. Keep it up and I'm sure you'll eventually be at the quality of getting your maps officially into the game.
