Kolari, your map looks nice. Has the Dear Esther-ish feel to it. That's not necessarily good when it comes to gameplay in CSGO. Textures are bit too noisy, making it easy for players to blend in them.
Can't wait to play the map though, it looks nice and I like the displacements (you did these by hand?). 
Thanks Sotapoika. I know the map doesn't have your typical CSGO atmosphere, but with these huge displacements I feel like it's necessary to have quite a lot of fog and dim lighting to make it look decent. But I will try to find something that fits more CSGO.
I made the displacements by hand and I am not quite happy with them yet 
I am already trying to remake them. I find it hard to make realistic looking mountain/hills.
One way would be trying to go for winter theme after all, which I have had in my mind but im not really keen about the extra work that would bring.
And I guess I need to learn some modelling as I want to create small crane as there is one in the original map too. The lighthouse that squad suggested would require to be modelled too I think.
I guess that depends. Are the mountains in the actual map or is it all 3D skybox? It shouldn't have to be superdetailed either, as it's high up.
Everything except far distance sea is on the actual map but I intend to move the unplayable area of the mountains into 3d skybox as I get the displacements done.
Been working on that for the Quake The Way id Did speedmapping session at func. I'm trying to replicate American McGee's style.

Thanks man. I released it on func_msgboard in the speedmapping thread. 
There has been so much improvements on the game engines since this decade.

It certainly changed a lot over the previous weeks. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm planning on making the middle area some sort of warehouse, the rest of the map being quite open- a forest.

I'm loving this
One minor thing. I think the bookcases are going too high. Even for Quake, this feels out of place imo. Also, maybe you could use some banners or something to break up the brick walls in the last shot.
Banner thing is a good idea! Oh damn, I wanna make a Q1 map so much!!!

If time is an issue, why don't you do a collaborative map with someone?
Nah, it's not time. After work I can't get myself to mapping...
TF2 Arena map distraction from another project. Modded some existing particles & a skybox to fit a "whiteout" in Antarctica theme.
I know it's just Quake but... bookshelves exposed to the effects of nature?
A Map I'm currently touching up, Its an asymmetrical arena map.
