cs_beirut2 (counterstrike source)

I like this one much better than the sub one. I'd suggest getting more shadow contrast since you're in the desert. Dunno if this looks anything like beirut from what I've seen in movies. Doesn't look like a total rip off of the dust series so thats a plus. Overall a nice custom map, does it play well?

well its a fine map regardless.

Actually i think you should've included some cool buildings / features to make it stand out of the crowd of generic town maps (arab generic town maps even!). Add a mosque for example. Add a Saddam statue, an American embassy, anything.

Even with only Valve content you could make some buildings that are more than just houses i'm sure.

i like the 2nd pic. draws me in. good work with the displacements and blends. i dont know why i just really like that pic...

The skybox displacements in the first pic are what impress me the most. I couldn't really tell you why....just looks cool Nice to see there is a bit of colour in the textures you chose, as it does help differentiate it from the dust clones (sounds like something out of star wars...maybe thats just republic commando getting to me). As Ferret said, lighting could use more contrast - at the minute it just seems like you have a light_environment pointing straight downwards or something. Good job overall though

Your host doesnt like brazil I guess, your screenies never work for me.

lol

why is that lol? its true anyway.

Looks cool. I'm not sure about Ferret's contrast comment since I think it looks pretty nice with regards to lighting, and thinking logically I'd assume that in real life all the sunlight being reflected around by the end and light surfaces would tone down the shadows quite a bit anyway. The effect doesn't quite look realistic though, primarily due to the complete absence of sand being blown around like in de_dust. I might suggest looking into integrating that.

Looks sexy, definately a worthy sequel to your original map!

Can't help but feel that some bits such as the the indoors pit in picture 7, looks a bit boring..

I like the map, looks nice.

submit it to http://csm2.net/ if it's done.

sweet stuff from as usual from BS

This map realy shows what cs:source is like

Nice brushwork, I LOVE that windows in the secon't last picture

good thinking, keep it up.

Nice,

I'm seeing some texture-aligment problems and 1 unit gaps? at the pillar thingies agaisnt the walls? maybe they don't even need to be brick textures, more like solid concrete (or sandstone obviously) Kinda odd that bricks are supporting a brick wall

I like the detail, that aren't props, looks so much sexier than the dust maps.
