You created two topics for the same map? Not a wise maneuver, mi amigo.

Anyways, it's actually pretty good for a first. The white outlines in that picture confused me a bit, but I caught on a few minutes later x), try shading and such. Go to sml.u13.net for some PW tutorials.

BTW, Welcome to SoldatForums :)

Well, pretty entertaining to be your first map. Although grenade spam would be abused here, but still it's fun. I see that you colored the polys and add some scenery, a little bit of shading would be really good, remember, the shading on a map depends on the placement of the polygons ;)

Welcome to the forums, and keep mapping!

now this is better! it just needed a new texture and a different bgcolor, that's all! sometimes the smallest differences can make a map great.

my reccomendation would be to put lianas over the central structure.
