Looks pretty good however it doesn't really do it for me. Hard to get a grasp why but it's probably a combination of the arbitraryness of the architecture and the funny blue detailing on the textures. I prefer my Egyptian style to be a bit smooth texturally with more traditional designs.
Having said that it does seem well built, well textured, well lit etc etc. I find the blue lighting a bit strong but the yellow/orange lighting nicely warm and subtle. The first shot is the most appealing. Looks like it's pretty easy to get around too.

I agree with SHambler, it looks OK, but not really good. Architecture seems random and usually out of place in an Egyptian map to me. The layout also seems random in places; take the third screenshot for example. THe stairs are at a 45 degree angle leaving the pillar in a very wierd relationship with them. It doesn't quite line up, so part of it is sticking out of a stair that it doesn't seem it should be doing.
I would try to make things a little more coherent, focus a little more on a particular style, and not spread thin on a mishmash of interesting-but-wierd details. GL. (good luck)

before I added the bridge:

after the bridge:

there's been a slight bit more work done to it, but nothing much more screenworthy. Going to be 2 floor, 3 room affair. Pretty standard DM fare really, just as a way to get into the editor and quirks of the game.

Yeah, screenshots looks good, and sure it's for DooM3 !!! (cause of UAC logo, etc...)
Well, It's A Start...

...but as Nitin says pretty bland at the moment. But hell you know that and you know what to do to make it good, I'm sure =).
Quite like the "pod" wall lights. TBH don't find the bridge adds that much to it, kinda looks intrusive given the rest of the room is high. But if it's a proper bridge then obviously could be a good gameplay feature.
I think with such grey textures, very subtly coloured lighting could be good.

Shambler: The bridge is part of the planned layout.

The blinking red and blue lights and yellow spotlights with cloud effects are what really make it.
You're Wrong

it's where the red and blue lights overlap to produce crimson; now that's class ^_^
Yet MORE Work-in-progress...

Lighting needs work there. Too bright up top, too dark at the bottom. That architecture could be very interesting depending on how it's lit.
Also, if you knew this, please excuse the obvious.

Just stating that I appreciate a well-cut jib when I see one, really :)
(btw, nice screens :)

looks good! i actually like the ground being dark... maybe a few lights on the floor here and there could be nice, but for the most part, i'd leave it like that...
