Callie (CSGO)

I take it you are going to add more detail as you progress? Because some areas are a bit empty and some walls could a bit more decoration and stuff. I'm at work so I can't play. Having said that, I wonder if the shadows won't make it difficult to spot players?

I'll definitely review this map and give you some feedback here tomorrow! Congratulations on the release mate.

I have to agree regarding detail; I looked at the images the other day and returning to them now I still feel the same; some areas feel a bit barren and could use a little more life (let me know if you want particulars). Also maybe it is just me but some of the props feel a little out of place; in particular the big air conditioning units and the utility cabinets. They don't seem to match the theme of the rest of the environment IMO. The broad structure of the map looks nice though and I think with a little more detail it would be complete.

I've been meaning to reply earlier, but just never got to it and eventually forgot a bit about it, sorry.

The balcony seems akward, because it doesn't have a decent support. While a construction like that would be perfectly possible in real life, it would be much more believable if you added some matching support to it.

Shadows on the right side are pretty dark. If it's in a spot with high traffic (the crate seems like a piece of cover), be sure to pay attention to readability. For example, making the wall behind the crate lighter (or a decal with paint could do the job too), or tweak lighting in the spot.

The curved corner right next to the B spot sign could use a smooth group.

The plants on the left side don't really have a base to grow in, which make them look artificial. Add a decal with dirt or something underneath them.

The wall in the center looks a bit bland. Add some dirt, posters, plants, ... to it to break it up.

The floor is pretty flat. If it's not already displacement, turn it onto displacements and add very small deviations.

The awning/porch roof to the right lacks a sense of good construction. I'd suggest turning the bottom side into a wooden texture and adding some extra support to it, so it makes sense (roof tiles can't stay in place by themselver ). That blue plaster wall corner could use a smoothing group as well, it'll look a lot better.

Same thing as in picture 3, that white wall is a littel bit bare. Could use some stuff to break it up (ie: windows, support beams, vines, cracks, dirt, ... ). The benches on the right look a little out of place, there are some stock better ones that would fit the scene better.

Some of the wall textures don't fit together (especially the dark brownes in the back and the brick ones which have an industrial theme to them in the way you used them).

The tunnel is quite bare. Add some trims to make it more interesting. Take into account player readability too, it's a bit dark now. Adding a light source to it will not only improve readability, but also will draw players' attention to it (I assume it's a route or is the SUV blocking the path?).

For the balcony, same as before, add some support to it and perhaps move the window/door above it a little bit down, so it looks like it's a doorway to the balcony.

Lastly, the map could greatly benefit from a nice 3D skybox. It'll make the transition to the lowres 2D skybox a lot smoother, as it is now kinda abruptly (?).

I hope any of this was helpfull, keep at it!
