Add some lights, maybe (looks like fullbright)?

Also, the nav mesh is old.

There is a video on how to clip spiral stairs here:

I just skimmed through the tutorial and I can't really recommend his method with carve and what not. So I made a tutorial with another approach without carve. You can watch it here:

Your Lighting feels very weird, you should add more lights everywhere. Check out TopHatWaffle lighting tutorial :). In CounterStrike, people don't like to make the effort to watch in the shadows if a player is here, we are not in Left4Dead. Think about Cache, Nuke, Dust2 !

Keep up the good work

So the mapping contest is almost done and I thought, I'd post the last update about my map. 
What I have to say at first is: I know the map is not done yet, but for my first time using Hammer I think I came quite far.

Changes:
-After three test plays i finally noticed that the ct-spawn is way to far away from A-site, so i moved the ct-spawn more to the middle.

-I shortened the way to B-site, so the ct's can rotade faster from B to A. This rotade took earlier about 20 to 30 sec. 

-I opened the middle more so the t's have to fight for middle control to get to sqeeky B.

-I put some windows over B-site so the whole room will get brighter.( same for the old ct room)

-I made another window on A-site balcony, so the ct's can watch A short.

-what I couldn't do was to clip the spiral stair case. I tried but the player clips always deformed when I loaded the map.
