"I think the layout has potential, but I don't think the map has received the amount of polish characteristic of Valve's official maps and of other maps on the site. For instance, there are just a few textures that dominate the entire map, and the geometry in the map's corridors is very simplistic."
Mehh.
Yes

It's COMPLETELY unlike the greyish, detail-heavy prison level Valve put out... </sarcasm>

Start your own review site and review your map as the first review. Then ask guests to do all the subsequent reviews for the site.
The Problem Is.

That quote from the review site (which I visited), it's not that it's elitist, which would be fine, it's that it's hypocritical bullshit. This level pisses on the ultra-boring Valve maps that that quote mis-claims are any benchmark of quality.
And whilst it could be more polished, it pisses on a fair few custom maps they've reviewed. Stalkyard anyone?? *YAWN*. And the corridor thing, there's not that many fucking corridors in the map UNLIKE the average Valve / custom map shite-a-thon.
Basically, they don't like it because it's not some tedious sprawling 32-player direct rip-off of some section of the SP architecture where the only feasible gameplay method is hammering the sprint key a dozen times to get across the map and find some obscure camping spot. This one actually has interconnectivity, a LAYOUT FFS, and proper action.
Fools.
