So that explains why the lighting looks so bland
Sorry, couldn't resist. Honestly though I do think the lighting is pretty poor in the earlier shots - I appreciate you wanted to get away from the typical high-contrast style of most NS maps, but it just comes across as featureless and lazy to me. The darker areas look far nicer to me, but then I am a sucker for orange 
I honestly don't think it looks all that bland, although there are a few areas where it could have done with a light turned off/broken, just to break up the repetition.The fifth screen almost looks like it was rendered with fullbright on, though.
And I don't have anything against light_spot's

The ceilings are looking a bit bland, but nice work with props breaking that up in places. But... could you put up some specular maps or some normal maps or something to make them a bit more... seedy? Grainy?

I've never really been fond of texture lighting. Placing each point light manually means you have more control over the final look.
Yup, that's exactly where I stand. I honestly don't *get* texture lighting.

The soldier is tripping on a mild dose of magic mushrooms to answer your question. Soon the environment will change colors and the street will form into waves of liquid.
Why the hell hasn't Acid Arena been remade in Source? That would fucking OWN.

It looks more like a BF2 MOD rather than a complete new game from DICE
Yeah, but Quake 4 looked like a mod for Doom 3.

Damn, that's really awesome.

Which doesn't make it right.
Of course it's the right way to go. When a level is broken down into many files, many people can work on it at once and the job of the level assembler is diminished, made much less of a bottleneck. It enables things like LOD which would be insanely more complex if the entire level was modeled at once. Modularity is the only way we can manage modern day poly budgets.
I agree with the idea of modular design in anything, especially computer systems, but why can't we have an IDE-esque editor?

Indeed, we all know PS3 will outsell it, but damn Revolution will be damn fun, great games.
And that's how it's always been between Nintendo and Sony.

I keep wanting to do something with radient, but I'm yet to find work on project that I can use it for. Source's lack of support for Radient is also irritating.
And the fact that it's just plain bad doesn't help much.
