Textures
DerianX: There were alignment problems all over the place
slicer: Yes, a lot
CoMpUdOc: Plus it was quite bland
Killer: si
slicer: The textures were not imaginative
Killer: very plain
slicer: It suits the map, but it seems very plain
DerianX: I found it a bit cartoonish
CoMpUdOc: ...maybe
DerianX: the colors contrasted too much
CoMpUdOc: hmmm
DerianX: BSP holes make it look bad too
CoMpUdOc: There were a lot
Killer: many bsp holes
CoMpUdOc: Way too many
Killer: like 6000
DerianX: but they didn't affect anything
Killer: no they didnt, but it made level look bad

CoMpUdOc: Yeah
slicer: A few nice ideas
Killer: its creative
DerianX: the terrain is pretty good
CoMpUdOc: In spots
DerianX: the rooftops weren't just flat
* CoMpUdOc maims slicer

Lighting
slicer: Hmm, lighting wasn't good either
Killer: ya very bad in the above rooms
DerianX: Lighting was... bland
CoMpUdOc: The lighting was poor
slicer: Too bright in areas that shows no signs of where it is sourced
Killer: some corners were completely dark
slicer: Looks thrown together
DerianX: It was awfully bright indide the cave for no apparent reason

Layout & Design
CoMpUdOc: The layout was poor
DerianX: It still is
slicer: very poor
DerianX: It has a bad balance
Killer: yea
DerianX: Spawning in the cave is a big disadvantage
CoMpUdOc: Well, not if you snipe
slicer: Hmmm
DerianX: and this map is completely biased towards speed aug users
slicer: yes, very
DerianX: tanks can't get on the roof or in the water tower

Final Thoughts
CoMpUdOc: CAEK!
slicer: ...
CoMpUdOc: It was a good attempt.

CoMpUdOc: I like the idea of an old west map...
DerianX: Yeah
* slicer slaps DerianX around a bit with a large hairy & slimy trout
CoMpUdOc: but meshing the old west with futuristic tech...
* slicer slaps CoMpUdOc around a bit with a large hairy & slimy trout
