There isn't much scenery.. well because I wasn't sure what scenery to put. Same goes for the actual bunker. I didn't know what to put in it, so please give advice/comments/suggestions.

[EDIT] Added a few more sceneries, changed the layout a bit. I still don't know what to do with the bunker lol. And the water.. I know it's crappy but I don't know how to do water. So if anyone would like to help?

But remember it's my first map :)

good for a first map, as you said, it need more scenery..

it's not the same size, the left side is more longer than the other one.
then put other thing on the big "tours"..

work on it and it will be fine ;)

I don't hate him because he can't use scenery...
Little advice tho: keep practicing, look at other maps for examples (don't copy 'em) and wait with posting untill you think you actually made some real progress.

HAhaha, how stupid of me...

I forgot to put medikits and grenades >_>

Will update later, and I'll try to add more scenery and make it look nicer too :)

Hmm... It's quite too small for a CTF. I don't like the bunker. :|

Good map for your first try Eagle :D - I tested it out with eagle today, like he said needs scenary & i think it also needs an underpass or even an overpass that goes along the top.

Yea hehe he did forget the Medi-kits + nades.

Hmm...I thought I replied in here already...odd.

Good for a first map, but here are a few pointers:
*Kidna small for a ctf map...not bad, but small maps need more distinct/noticible routes...straight routes can make things boring
*Shading is your friend. It makes your 2D polys close to 3D when good
*waypointing can be a very sexy addition
*Think about your use of color and the contrast of those colors in creating lighting effects
*Scenery is good! It's there, use it! Learn to use the transparency and coloring effects (if you havn't already ;D). Good so far, but practice practice practice.

Let's see some more from you soon.

Thanks mr Geologist. I'll take those in to account. And I thought I did shade?
