It's going to look like that ingame as soon as I move the "blueish" parts of the 3d ensemble closer to the bridge or make the fog a bit thinner. Both will do the trick, and I think it's okay to say that the parts that look ugly now due to the fog are of a better quality texturewise than the parts that look beautiful now 
.
I'm still experimenting, it's all a matter of tweaking... and *much* work.
As I said, I've started this in april/may... ;/
Here's another update on my TF2 map. I've started work on the short routes into each base; each of these routes has a 'run-away' minecart shooting down the rails, so you have to be very quick.

but maybe a bit too narrow 
only think some soldiers or demomans go along that path?

It's my intention. It's a single file route into the enemy base, with a minecart that will splat you if you get caught by it. It's a risky way into the base; it's something new and different. I want to see if it works.
Looks cool and I like the idea, although on my monitor it looks pretty dark. I've noticed that TF2 tends to avoid truly dark areas even in areas that would probably be pretty dark in reality, and keeps everything vibrant.
I'd suggest just putting some more torches and stuff in there or otherwise look at the lighting inside the Dustbowl tunnels which I recall being a lot brighter. 
ok, thats something else
maybe it will be fun to play it
sounds cool - but you should then think of the possibilty to jump on the carts, which would sound even cooler imho
The carts could become frustrating, have to see how they work in testing. If you included points where you can dodge them it would make it better. You want the player to feel it was his fault he got run over, not that you're an evil mapper 
.
Yeah, definitely. The reason the trains work in Well is because they're actually really easy to spot and avoid, but when you're caught up in a frantic battle you somehow don't notice the bells and feel like a real fool when one flattens you.
If you take away that element of control it's more about random chance than alertness, which isn't fun. Ever.
w00r my first unreal engine 3 test map shot
if only i knew how to get this to cook and run in game 
that was all way easier and better in unreal engine 2

Looks promising! The sun/hdr looks very wierd, but I like the shading of the lighting. First the lighting seemed an a little exaggerated, but after a closer look it fits pretty ok:)
Too orange and pink, needs more green, blue and red!
/me dies
nice one warby!
i love it.
Looks promising warby!
I don't really dig the sun, it looks too yellow'ish and doesn't match the environment lighting. You should also fix those invalid faces errors (unless the area you took the screenshot from won't be visible ingame):

I also did some colour correction... hope you like it!
i was aware of the holes when posting the picture ^runsinshame^
My portal map is about 70% finished and I'm currently working on the Last area. Here is a sneak peak for you guys (first time I've really shown anything I've worked on in my spare time in a long time!)
