I think I can fix that with a bit of blending.
And Headthump, please don't fuck my rocks. I vote colored lighting the best games industry invention since texture mapping. It makes everything look so much better.
I laughed out loud when I saw the face in the corner on the last image.
Absolutely brilliant. That face looks a lot like this really (really) old image I made:

I took many of the suggestions given by biff, Shambler, Daz, pope, and I think it is much better now. About the jump pad though...it works fine as long as you don't stand still on it -- in HL2 you need to keep moving in the direction you want to go. So when you're attempting a jump, the best way to go is just to run at it in the direction + launch upward you want to go. Also, there is a texture misalignment on the inside of the vent fan, I already fixed it my next save, I just didn't noticed it after I did the compile. http://blitz.circa1984.com/dm_ortho_b3.zip that look very very good :

Found a Q3 map I just about finished before my daughter came and realized it's not all that bad... a little dusty but still...or? http://web.comhem.se/~u70315877/shot1.htm Snaga: it looks like you've got some good shapes, spaces, and lighting going on, but the detail level in several spots looks more on par with Q1 than Q3. Also, the textures seem a bit plain, and although that's not bad in itself (e.g. geocomp maps) it just exacerbates the situation with the details. About half of the indoor stuff looks tasty, though. Such as shots 5 and 8.
On the other hand, pro gamers will probably prefer the sparseness of details. Nice clean style and great lighting, good build quality too, but a few stronger designs would be good. Not that it's not good at the moment, that is.
I'm going to go with the general consensus and say it looks really good but needs a little more love.
Personally, I quite like the textures. Slightly more detail on some of the panels might work, but it's funny that you jokingly talk of the design seeming dusty, because there is indeed an interesting dusty abandoned base look to them, and I think it might be cool to play to that more by having cobwebs here and there (look to RtCW's cobwebs for a good way of doing these), and giving some lights a subtle volumetric effect with scrolling dust motes. Slightly less saturated colours on your contrast lighting might work well if you play up the dust aspect. Also, get some phong shading on those rocks, it'll make them look much nicer. Thanks for input yall:)
I do agree with you in the lack of detail in most pics. My intention from the start was to make the map fast in game, beeing sparse with detailing. But I guess that, as R.P.G pointed out, can only be pulled off by fooling the eye with more detailed textures, or making stunning architecture. I don't think I have it in me to finish the map but it's always nice to get feedback on something you done.
