Little hl2dm map working on, its supposed to be a loading bay type area. Know there isnt really much to comment on there at the moment, but any constructive feedback much appreciated 
This is sort of the main fighting/arena area, there some corridors leading in/out of here, which am just tidying up at the mo.

Looks very plain.
I bet its fun, but it looks so bland.
I blame everything on the halflife 2 texture set, it's blander than a Digestive soaked in water.
It's how u use the textures 
This is not HL1 anymore.
i blame everybody pissing themselves over props

They are not in my opinion. The textures in this map looks overscaled, use 0,25 as scale! HL2 are 512x512 textures, not 256x256 as the old half-life
yeah, i agree with the blandness. spice it up .
btw, whats the name of the truck model on the left of your first pic and where is it located? ive been looking for something like that for a while . 
that model:
models/props_vehicles/truck001a.mdl
Like Marcos said, the textures are overscaled. You're wasting the crisp 512x512 love.
Toss a few small pipes or an electrical box or two (or both) on the walls, they look rather empty at the current moment.
Thx for the feedback so far, this is pic of the security room (with better scaled textures ), whats ya thoughts?

It's kind off empty.. and gray.. :\
That little stair set looks like it would collapse under its own weight - make it look more supported or attached to the wall. You shouldn't be afraid to use more colour in your level, its all very drab as it is.
you need something more in your level. color, even with the hl2 texture set, is more than just a grayish blend. try experimenting with lighting also. it helps a whole lot.
detail in your brushwork? It's possible now!
you should add some more colors, maybe make the lights on the wall red, make some flicker, change up some of the ceiling lamps by slight values etc
