Actually I always viewed as source is where all the bloom noobs are

But sure, we can go with the cool thing.

Dm_Drift Review

Don't hurt me.

[GregBoffins]

Hrm not that awesome of a review.

It feels like copied and pasted comments from a forum, such as mapcore.

In your review you haven't mentioned anything about the flow of the map, or any gameplay related things it really saddens me that more and more people care about "brush work" than the gameplay, for all we know as readers, this could be the worlds most boring map ever known to man.

You need to write more about each area when doing a review like..

Gameplay, how is it structured, what makes the flow feel nice, are the weapon placements good, are the spawns in a good position etc etc.

Then you move onto the eyecandy, and you don't usually talk about a single metal trim on a staircase in the top part of the map.

You can also talk about the audio in the map if it exists, as this can play an important role, especially in a single player map - it can ad a lot of immersion.

If you're going over a single player map, you could also comment on how well the story is structured if it even exists

There are a few things you can think of when reviewing a map.

Hope it helps!

Thanks. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of HL2DM mainly because it's just a run-and-gun game.

I'm looking at de_corse now. I'm more experienced in CSS mapping so you can expect a review with more then a few lines.

review my map http://csm2.net/view_map.php?map_id=778

Its not too bad.

Although it seemed more like a nitpick rather than a general reflection of the map. dm_drift uses a great color correction effect, which isn't even mentioned in the review.

I guess I might as well add mine to the pile - it's like a gift of ammo for your level reviewing gun, so to speak
