I'm not convinced by those one-colored bridges, but besides that, the map's really good, i like the pool, it's always a good accent in DM's... I think I should start doing such things...

[Harven]

This map is really cool, I think it's your best one.

+ Beautiful texture usage. Aside from most of the solid red and blue, I liked the look of everything, especially since I counted only 14 textures being used for the entire map. (I see there's 16 in the textures folder.) Great skybox. + for spinning.

+ Good layout. I like
+Coolness work in the sounds department.
- The solid-color textures looked bizarre and really out of place. Except for the smaller lights--they were fine. Something with a pattern like the e3u3/color* textures would have looked a lot better.
- I'm still not sure what to make of those weird-ass bridges. They seemed to be made of mist brushes with clip brushes providing solidity. I fell through one once--invisible traps like this get a thumbs-down from me. I think transparent forcefield bridges would have looked better and more in place.

Overall: A very high ***/**** range.
