Looks very nice, only thinng is where is your skybox? It's pure black

[DjBourgeoisie]

huh? Its the borealis sky, i made a 3d skybox. Not sure what you mean.

[Smokey]

That looks good. I like the night feeling, good change from all the mid day maps. Seems you were creative and realistic with this map, I like it.

[Cr4ig]

nice work

Blink the sky is just dark i think.

It does indeed look really cool, can't wait to play it!

[Carl]

I agree it looks really good.
It looks alot more complete than most of these "complete" maps that are released.

[Good as Dead]

Nice job - I'd like a copy for my server when you're done...

the inside rooms look a bit empty.. maybe you should make them smaller to avoid that

Sorry you think that, but its a matter of preference, I put details where they should be to avoid the over cluttered look. Just my style.

looks lovely. Looks pretty big, which personally i'm not too much of a fan of, but it does look very decent. Those alleyways are nice, but maybe break them up a bit so they're not too linear? Also, those concrete 'feet' (crap word for them, cant be bothered to think of a good one ) either side of those outside doors look kinda wide?

already fixed those, and the pillars in the hallways (square ones). It might look linear in the alley, but you can get on the balconies, plus the layout wouldnt allow me to really change the linear appearance in order to connect the areas together. There is a slope leading up to site b though, might not be able to tell in the screenshots.

I like the fact that it's not too cluttered. The streets are wide, and the building are perfectly sized...Makes it look like a real town, instead of some abandoned one. Nice and roomy.

well i jsut think(and yes is jsut a opinion) that comparing to the court room, all the others look really empty, i'am jsut saying wath you could improve in the map, because it just seems like you threw upsome random objects in some of them.. but if you like, it's okay with me

also the outside looks a bit flat, maybe had some thing to make them more interesting, since you got the right ambience for the map, but a bit more fo detail would be nice

[DjBourgeoisie]

Well heres my feeling about that, a courtroom is bound to have more seating, nice decor, etc than a slum. The reason it looks barren, is to give it the run down ghetto look, that office in the hotel isnt a collision point, and putting anything else in there would just look out of place imo. Its all in the eye of the beholder, but since its my map I have final say But I do appreciate the feedback, thanks. Btw I just finished the last compile, after the playtest on friday, Ill decide if its ready for release, but I have found 0 bugs, so its all about balance.
