Some very nice layout and architectural features here. Lot of oportunities for wall jump shortcuts around the map and especialy liked the canyon view down from the Sniper area and the wall jump from there to the empty pow-up bridge:

This leads me onto the main prob. You have made lots of really interesting precarious locations, like the bridge, then put all the important pow-ups in oen locations that requirer no acrobatics. For instance, I can't beleive you created this bridge section without planning to put one of the main pow-ups there:

Looking fwd to the next build.

btw, u need to teachme about post processing. The volume U've use here even makes the checkerboard look nice.

thanks cray, btw if anyone has some sexy texture set that they want to send me go ahead, or suggestions on visual style high poly or low poly (low poly will definite finish miles before any high poly stuff)

okay, i've tried it. it's actually really nice. i like the floorplan and the amount of trickjumps you can do around the map.
however, i'm not too fond of the idea of having the sniper rifle and the stinger so close to the udamage. the link gun might be a problem while playing against bots cause ever since the last patch they've got pretty good aiming with the secondary.
also that one angled ramp (at the thigh pads) looked strange with that fold in the middle.
apart from that i can't really think of anything right now.
visual style - i kind of feel like this map could use a bright and friendly style. not too much dirt and all that 'grungification'
maybe kind of low poly on the whole. what little lighting is there right now... it just feels nice and warm. kind of like a desert themed map.

thanks for the feedback nelson much appricated, i fixed that funny ramp

and i swaped rockets with link gun

 

[nELsOn]

this has nothing to do with your map but is just something i've noticed in every unreal game so far - ramps like this one always look kind of skewed... at least to me. i wonder why that is.

anyway, i'm really curious about what you're going to come up with theme-wise so keep us posted

i know i said it before but i really love the floorplan. all those jumps
