does anyone else trying to give you feedback also get 5 paragraphs with bolding? fucking christ...
RZL can be a little short in his replies but that's just because english isn't his first language- he does know what he's talking about though, I'd take onboard his advice or end up on the pile of maps that never went anywhere.
I don't think you should take someone with the handle '1488' seriously...
WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots overviews!
only if you play sandstorm on repeat.
Another month, another terror attack in the west. I don't like the fact that people are almost getting used to these- sure it's at the top of the news but I'm seeing less public clamor and outcry with each attack.
Thoughts go out to any Belgians that read or post here- it must suck no longer feeling safe in your home country.
legionnaires disease creator? 
same point as posted before

Looks like a mush of different texture sets. you need a clear theme/vision for the map and build using only that. 'A bit of this and a bit of that' will never give good results
The outside is really gloomy too. I would add more light entities to add depth.

Awww in my list of things to do there was a theme park map I got inspired when I visited Southend, can't come up with a layout that makes sense -_-'
Thill works well because it's basically a standard layout with a rollercoaster running around it outside the playing area. This like the rollercoaster housing are used to split up areas and sightlines
I guess the trick is to flavour the map with the theme - rather than dictate the layout

I really hope gordon is mute in it :lol:
edit - imagine it's all in 1st person :o
B is looking better- my only real gripe before. We need another playtest soon 
Quote from JoyousCoconutI just made a sketch and did a rough floor job in SDK for my first map, there are some pics of it in SDK and the sketch to see it more clearly. Problem is now I'm completely lost on how to do aesthetically pleasing walls and what not.
Just add walls and a skybox ceiling for now- detailing comes way later. it's not like you've done 'aesthetically pleasing' floors :lol:
You should nodraw anything that can't be seen
I don't think anyone minds greyboxes. It's mainly what we test.
Looks like you've snaked a lot of routes, is this to fix sightlines?
Quote from blackdogDon't they use ladder props these days? Eg cs_assault
in the HL2 map I've started I used the entity (start-end ladder point entity + dismounts) and worked at first couple compiles… then without changing anything, became non-climbable! >:(
The prop itself is just detailing. It'll always be wrapped in a tool brush
Edit - 2nd point. make sure you've not turned off the toolbrush visgroup and forgot to turn it back on.. 
do you have the bsp on workshop? Looks really cool
*removes brush based destruction from map* 
I think it's a cool Idea but obviously comes down to implementation. I'd say you're going to need to spend more time playtesting at greybox to gather feedback- as you can see already it splits players quite a lot.
What about de_viaduct/coffee/java/mocha though? :o

Sounds like reddits opinion condensed into 1 video. A lot of it is common sense but a lot of it is also guff.
Tunnels is the only 'unique' area on dust2 and inferno is pretty much the same - inside or outside - I notice he omitted these as examples...
now we can all idle together 
I get this too. I don't think it's a big deal
