er, well all you've got there is a small space populated with a few brushes and some HL2 props. you haven't even finished the area, the edges just end with sky. what kind of feedback can you expect?
what you have is decent enough, but you have to develop it a lot more before you can expect any real input.
no kidding :]
Quote from KungFuSquirrelThoughts?
I think I hate Lightwave ;D I had to work in it a year and some ago. Haven't caught up with the updates since then but I just really didn't like it at the time. The modeler always just felt like an overblown Milkshape. You could get work done in it but everything was a pain in the ass. It seemed kind of thrown together over the years without a coherent sense of design. Layout was decent enough for animation but again, didn't feel very coherent. The keyboard shortcuts were a nightmare - for cryin out loud, *undo* wasn't even ctrl+z. It just seemed like such a ghetto program.
Anyway, what Mino said 
looks good, and well thought out in that things are arranged in a way that makes real-world sense.
a few things about the screens that bug me a bit, the skybox as Defrag said; the texture mismatch on the right side of the road in pic 1; vent tex seems upside-down in pic 4 so the vents look inverted; the broken garage door in pic 3 is just totally improbable; some repetetive textures. those are just a few things that stand out right away and they're pretty minor but this kind of stuff does make a difference to my eye.
one thing that bugs me about several assault remakes in a gameplay sense is the railing along the walkway in pic 4; i really prefer being able to drop straight down off the ledge without having to jump over a railing, particularly as it makes it easier to bring hostages down quickly.

Good link, CompoSITe is working at Infinity Ward now on their next big game 
In practice though, there really are three discreet focal areas, at least in my experience: art, design, and engineering. There is often some overlap between; technical artists will be able to do some coding and shader work and may have an eye for design; versatile designers will be able to do some coding or art, and some competent coders will be capable of working in the other disciplines (although in my experience these people are rare, coders tend to be math geeks who happen to be in games because it's somewhat more fun than coding java applets or databases or whatever).
Of course there is usually an army of other people required by the business, HR, Marketing, QA, management and so forth. but that's not why we're here is it

if mino won't go i'll post an easy one for the bonus round.
slightly different approach but everyone should know this:

yeah it is Klein, but you don't really get hired out of school as a game designer. It's the kind of thing that you have to prove yourself at within a company I think. I think if you want to be a capital-d Designer you typically start out as a level designer/scripter which can mean a LOT of different things because each company breaks the production process down differently.
It's easy to prove yourself as a coder or artist because the results can be reviewed very objectively. You see the product, you see what the guy can do. As a designer your job is much tougher because the results are so much more subjective. How do you define fun?
to start with, how come the building isn't damaged by the combine wall, and there is a perfectly unharmed building *behind* the combine wall?
do notice that they posted at exactly the same minute by the way
That's a pretty open-ended question. Maybe you could cite some examples of what you want to emulate as a starting point.
here's a pretty good tut for one approach to lighting:
Ahhh, Jules Verne makes it all make sense. Awesome display and thanks strat~
Tell me what the hell this was all about?

I guess it was way back in May, sorry for dredging...
that's a really weird deja-vu double post. zazi/hipshot, separated at birth?
Yeah I am looking forward to playing DoD again. I do appreciate the focused gameplay as opposed to the wide-open incohesive play styles that seem to be popular these days.
But frankly those screens they posted in the Steam update not too long ago were pretty laughable.

I'll give it that. you can thank this asshat [Blocked Image: http://ffmedia.ign.com/filmforce/image/uweontheset_hod.jpg] for the rest of the crop..
