HL2 needs more custom stuff, quick.
Think I saw this one the Snarkpit a while back, and my comments are the same as before really. The map looks nice enough and quite polished, but its just really generic. I guess you are just a bit late in the "railway/industrial/canal" craze, and so everybody is kinda bored of it by now. This probably isn't any worse than any number of earlier maps that recieved far more praise, but it probably won't prove too popular because we've seen it all before countless times now. Try something a bit more adventurous next time, as it looks like you have the skills to make really nice maps
HL2 needs more sci-fi settings.

Agreed.
Too much red for my taste.
im glad to see some red, actually
Insides are nice, but not unique, and the outsides are just too red.
You seem able enough to sway away from the 'straight from hl2' themed maps.
If you center a map around a canal, at least make the canal look really cool. Besides that i see nothing that makes it stand out of the crowd (yep, there's a crowd already) of old canal industrial maps like Peri said. It's just all decent overall, but nothing that will make me remember this.
looking good so far. I'd try to get away from the 90degrees everywhere though. Lighting seems decent but could use some hightlighgint on some key focal points of the level.
i think naming it after a band may not be the best idea
well it looks nice but i have to say I have gotten incredibly bored with the "industrial area near old canal" themed maps
I'm sorry to say that I just ahve to second that with a vengance, this is well done, but I'm so bored of the theme, seems to be what 90% of people decide to do with HL2, which a crying waste of the engine.

yup, but still it looks sexy to me, i'll add mirror asap.

Im a huge fan of them. 
Thx for the feedback. I agree about the setting being very unoriginal though when I came up with the idea it was meant to have that old victorian canal look with big brick warehouses along it so I guess you could say I sorta lost focus there 
Hahaha... Finch..
Anyway, map looks ok, but it does look like a load of other HL2 maps as well, not such a bad thing though!
you are fast to build the map..
Looks good imo, but I dont really like the lighting, needs more variaty.

Yeah! Its pretty simple to make a good industrial map with a new hl2 engine... It is no more fun longer 
:roll: Sorry pal...
:roll: Cant forget good old times when ppl used years to make something amazing...

Give it time. I know you're being far from literal, but HL2 community design is still well in its infancy.
:roll: Hope you are right...
