Amazing map. I really like what you've done with the apartments, it makes them feel much more dangerous. Spreading the weapons out more helps as well, though I'd suggest having one or two more next to either the start trigger or the spawn point for those players who don't enjoy exploration so much.
I only found one "bug" in this version. Near the start trigger, if you climb up the generator and the lamp on top of it you can get on to the four vertical girders. This is a fun place to snipe from but unfortunately tanks and common infected can't climb up to you, meaning the only infected that really stand a chance of hurting you are smokers and spitters. Also, if you are unlucky enough to be incapacitated or knocked down by either of the afforementioned when you're up here the bots don't try to revive you as I guess you're out of their reach too.

Base Map Is Still Being A Pain

Thanks once again, I had no idea you could get up there! Seeing that bug made me go on a mad clipping spree around the map to make sure no other craziness could happen :)
Added some low tier weapons to the spawn position, the lazies will have to put some effort in to get better weapons ;)
Next release will be final I think, unless I find anything showstopping!

Coloured Lighting Is A Little Too Saturated

plenty of scope for some cool looking tall shit above that skylight!

Good

so biologized of the neatness, that I wonder what the screen hangs in the upwalk.

coloured light looks fine to me. subtle but still visible.

toned down the colour a bit further. The floating laptop is, uh, a dimensional accident.

I Like It Gb!

Looks very natural, love the lightning in particular.

that looks seriously cool. Nice work gb
Finally decided to strip most of the end area of my Base map out for performance and vertex count reasons

Will still have some meaty fights in it, though I apologise for the crate maze factor :E

Looks really cool zqf. Maybe vary those crates a little - have some of them rotated or off-center instead of these long straight walls?

Looks Awesome

align the textures on the skybridge
I gotta finish the geometry before I worry about textures :/ PS will need to have it tested again since a lot has changed since you chaps played it. If you want to try it again I'll send you a new version.

Don't Want To Make It Into A Seperate End Area?

That's really elegant. I'm a fan of that style. I don't like the green pool though, I would suggest changing it to a blue color personally, but it doesn't destroy the look for me.
