I have to say... I like it! It looks really good, I cant wait to play this online

And apart from some z-fights, and the fact that the default alien base has no defense, I will say you did a great job!
Keep it up! Cant wait to see more from you

[devil'sadvocate]It looks too dark, and some texture stretching looks ugly.[/devil'sadvocate]

Looks great for a first release!

Not bad for a first map; I've seen better and worse.

There are two problems (IMHO, of course) that I see--oversaturated lights and stretched textures. The Alien base is a good example of this--players will quickly tire of looking at that big green...thing in the middle. So is the red hallway. Try using slightly less saturated lights (Make the red slightly pink, green slightly...light green) and your screenshots will probably look less fuzzy, as well, since large areas of similar colors get blurred by JPEG compressors.

Also, some of your textures are stretched rather badly. This can be easily fixed with surface manager (S key) if you decide to take the time and go through the map.

Like I said, I've seen better and worse; this is one of the better ones.

Good luck to you in your mapping quest!

Your screenshots look like shit..

Your map, however, looks at least half-decent. Looks like you have at least a basic understanding of patches and brush clipping, so thats a plus.

I might download this later on and have a looksee.

Hello.
Very good  medium-sized map :
* All teams can hide and camp if they move.
* Ligthning is inspired.
* Base's color are respected.

Just few minor enhancements are avaliable :
* The text in the Alien base is in reverse.



* A crap crate is leviting.

* A dihedral An edge of the wall is transparent.


Edit : translation in french :

Bonjour.

Très bonne carte de taille moyenne :
* Toutes les équipes peuvent se cacher et camper si elles bougent.
* L'éclairage est inspiré.
* Les couleurs conventionnelles des bases sont respectées.

Juste de petites amélioration sont possibles :
* Le texte de la base alienne est à l'envers.
* Une caisse lévite.
* Un dièdre est transparent.

EDIT : orth, sorry

"A crap is levitating"? What?

Suggestion: Try posting in your native language, chances are someone knows how to speak it.

Done ! ;-)

Translation:

Crap = Crate
Dihedral = Edge of the walls/Corner?

[Bomb]

I believe, in this case, "dihedral" means "square".

Crap = Crate

Oh, and I was really hoping to see some new style elements.
