Neither look too great to me. People have provided plenty of constructive feedback to you and it doesn't look like you've taken any of it into consideration.
one step at a time here guy...
through a barrage of very positive and very negative reviews across a couple different forums, I have put together my to-do list for the next couple weeks.
- replace some of the brushwork with models. (railings especially)
- diversify texture pallet
- play with displacements, reduce "blockiness"
- play with lightmap scale
- smooth groups
- find a way to replace the wall around the map.
- fix the skybox
So, look forward to a visually revamped version hopefully by the middle of next week, if not sooner. Hopefully I will have changed some minds by then 
Looks much better but it's still missing that visual oomph. More textures please 
But you are getting closer, keep working at it and you will get there.

Also, here something design wise for you: make the borders of the map not a big square.
Could do well with some striking contrasts.
Are there interiors? How do they look?
Wait a minutes, wait just a minute...de_mistymountain_beta...89?
Definitely an improvement. Although making the buildings you play in look a bit more realistic would be good. Try to think of why they might actually exist, and theme them to fit. Textures alone will help a lot, but so would a bit of detail. For example, you have those ramp platforms going around the body of the tallest building -- why not put railings there?
Cutting down on the amount of concrete would help a lot.
lol what is with that water?
texture choice is poor, hate to say. you seem to use the same few concrete texture over most of the map. it really kills the atmosphere. solution: use different textures with more variety.
it looks as if it was made for goldsource :\
should this be a fortress or something? with that big tower..
