hmmm where to start... the word detail is a good start... the rooms look like empty boxes? don't see much gameplay fun in walking in a box, so think of any stupid thing to brake up the box...think architectural support, maintenance, pipes, venting,... give the space a destiny, a goal in life :wink:

also textures and lighting seem very dull. don't wanna spoil your moral but try maybe a smaller area to start putting al those hours in? like one building/house/street... something like that maybe.

Thanks man, I'll take this into consideration. I usually get the rough box architecture done first, then I move to textures and alignment, then basic lighting just so it's not fullbright or black, then i add details like pipes, supports, etc... and lastly I add weapon placements, spawn points, and final lighting, since the lights really hamper the compiling time.

This is my first post here at Mapcore, so hi, I'm Chinchilla. Most people know me as either Chinchilla or Rizzo. Here's a HUGE sprawling map I've been working on for the KAT Klan. It's a massive sprawling map that takes place underground, with a few instances of sky to tease the player. I have also added some Goldeneye content from memory, so the map is alot bigger than it first seems. Every area looks different because I didn't want the player to get bored of the same crap everywhere. I've put 54 hours into this in only two sittings, as I'm very dedicated to mapping. Anyways, screenshots:

In those last few screens, I made the mountains myself. They are flat, but the player can't ever go outside, so it's just for illusion anyway and keeps the map running smooth. If you see something you like, you can always PM me.
