Dear MapCore,
After half a week of level designing, and half a week of play tests, it's done!
Tangled is a small Half-Life Deathmatch map, yet very entertaining.
The gameplay flows pretty good, and the r_speeds overall are very easy on older computers. 2-8 players are suggested, although it plays very cool with 9 players too. (I've tried.) 
You can download the map from my webspace...
Screenshots,
nice, but those cliffs look a bit odd
looks like a nice solid hldm map, but i dont really like the lighting (some of it looks too dark and bland). Anyway, fiddle more with the lighting~
I agree, but I must hand it to you, making a decent looking map with just HL textures is a good job...
Not that bad really, but looks veeeeeeeeeeeeery old school ~~
I tried something using hl.wad only some time ago, its not that bad but I never finished it. Maybe some day 
Reminds me of Boot Camp/Crossfire, which is a good thing. Those cliffs really need working on though, they look like clown shoes.
I can't argue with that. Although i mainly follow the rule, that the enviroment should derive from the gameplay. The cliffs look fairly good for having such low r_speeds. My previous, more detailed rocks gave lag-bumps at certain corners.
I indeed built the map with a sort of Crossfire / Boot_Camp twitch in it.
no, seriously, heres whats mainly wrong with ur cliffs;
at the top of them, it looks like they are excactly straight, like a horizontal line has just cut the cliffs off straight up there...
Making the top of it just go down and up again a few times wont increase ur r_speeds that much...
doesnt look too bad, tho around the doorways, maybe put some door frames or support beams or something, because it just looks a little wierd to me just ending with brick keep up the good work, i like it
next time address mapcore as
dear, allknowing best mappers ever
i bet 90% of the people here will give your map a 10/10
Try to use -gamma around 0.85 on RAD, and then make the lights much brighter. Then u'll have a cool contrast on the lighting
Minotauro, thanks for the tip, i didn't know that yet.
It made the lights come out very good, although all the rest ended up really really dark. So i'm going to keep it for a next map.
Anyways, here's the final version.

I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
hm.. weird... i cant excactly remember what it was, but i liked the "tangled" version alot better...
I think this version lacks shadows... the lights was like... the same everywhere, and it was to bright outside (just a tad). The cliffs was improved, thats good...
heh, well, you shouldnt take anything i say seriously (when it comes to mapping anyways) because I really suck at it...
