computers in a bar?
anyway: looks good. did you create some custom models and textures? in this big room, there are some things i don't know from other maps.
keep on! 
Well, the outside seems pretty plain. Kinda flat and boring imho.
As for the second shot, I hate the lighting. Not very intersting, lacks any type of atmosphere. If your able to pain your way throught the third level of Swat 4, they show a night club, hopefullly you would be able to get some inspirtaion from that. tis well done.
And that is the worst bar ever!!!!! 
needs more booze!
Good in parts, but the lighting in that abandoned section is far too uniform. Cast some of it in shadow, and you'll be onto a winner.
Ah, well if you're working to specification then I can't argue.
Any chance of seeing the real-life pics for comparison?
Quote from alexroyceThe map has been stretched out so that its not as crunched up as players would have a really hard time navagating through the areas. Detail has also been toned down in places as the map already gets ~40 fps and occasionally drops as low as 20 fps which needs to be fixed somehow.
Hm. My first thought was that it's really wide open and kind of lacking in cover, even indoors. Granted most of Valve's maps feel really close quartered, but I think you may have taken it a bit too far in the other direction.
And, well, real life was never intended for game engine performance, but it's hard to explain that to the laymen you're working for
the lighting sucks, and the ceiling on the bar could use a few more sides on those cylinder brushes. i think the outside is hot though. gj~~
I like it, but it's too empty at sum places.
I like it, I like it bacause its a little more empty, we don't need every map filled with boxes/barrels/containers/harvestlumbs etc etc just because its possible.
Nice town, i like the atmosphere keep going!
make it look 'busy'
that bar is looking hot

Indeed. You dont really think "this map feels empty" when playing it, as testers seem to think its got great atmosphere.
Main reason its so empty is because FPS already takes a beating from the lighting and props.. I plan to try and replace those single bottles in the red-colored bar (not the tan one) with a model of a row of bottles so that i can keep FPS decent yet make it look like a real bar.
nice to see you working on stuff alex. 
dont forget to stop by vivi's site and post . we all love to hear from you .
luv the outside, luv the bar, rest needs work
