Good stuff! This has the makings of an interesting, and instantly recognisable map. I really like the lighting, the contrast in shadows, the real world feel, and where the theme is going. Hopefully you will give it the time it deserves.

Some constructive criticism.

For me, the two focal points of the outside are the rocks that run around the level, and the raised building at the back. Because of this, they should have as much impact as possible. At the moment, the rocks look a little too smooth. So much more would be added to the map if they had a really jagged more “rock like” appearance. I also think that by putting in another layer of rock above and behind the existing stuff in certain parts would make the skyline more interesting, and give the area a more believable look.

As for the main building, I think it would be a missed opportunity if it never had that “stand out” look to it. It already looks good, but it might need a bit more spice. It can be seen in many areas of the map, so I think it would be beneficial to make it look as interesting as you possibly can.

The ground also looks as though it runs along the one plane. I can’t see any slopes or steps in any of the images. Adding some will make the map in general, look a lot more interesting. Also might be worth adding subtle displacements to the floor, especially in the car park.

Telephone wires need to go somewhere, at the moment they only meet each other.

Not really too sure about the curb that changes from red, to white, and then back to red again.

The arched tunnel looks as though it could do with being more curved. Maybe use the arch tool to add more polys, and create the tunnel.

Level could also benefit from adding a few curved or angled corners to the buildings.

Otherwise, map shows loads of promise.

my harddrive crashed - and it blocked the motherboard to work.

Windows is gone because the harddrive is broken, i had to call a master and had a talk about 1 hour it didn't help so much to repair my Pc.

I have no support to the store i bought my computer from and my pc is almost 3 years old. I don't know what to do.. This is a problem i know that sucks.

Well the map is gone too.. :(

Sorry and respectfully / Nexus

Ouch, a sad tale :( Best of luck getting your comp back up and running. I'd also like to add that going by your rate of improvement, the next map you start will probably be even better than the one you just lost. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can relate to losing a map - I had a hard drive burn out on me while I was making what I deemed to be my best mapping effort several years back, but once I got to computer back online and restarted the level it turned out to be a far better in the end.

If you mail me your harddrive, I can do a data recovery on it. No joke. As much as I hate you, Nexus, I will do this favor for you since I know how much loosing a map sucks. Anyway, if you're interested, PM me.
