Hi guys, here is my map, as entered into the hl2dmu mapping competition with a few changes following feedback.
dm_jaeger_rc1 - Download Here
It's a map based on a construction yard, the building is half-way through completion. It's a medium sized map, and while there are separate parts of the map, these blend into eachother - there is only one enclosed space in the map (the basement).
I spent alot of time assembling and editing photos for the building textures, as I wanted to create a level of realism. The buildings were based on the city of leeds in england:
I also got to use alpha blend textures for the first time, so I could blend areas of concrete floors with sandy areas without having to use two brushes.
There have been 3 changes, added a staircase to cover 3 floors of the map, opening up the central part of the map:
A new passage on the right side of the screen below (Previously a dead end).
Heightened cubemaps featured in this map, allowing reflections to be seen in high detail on the building windows:
Also increased lightmaps were used in the basement area to increase detail on shadows with bright lights:
Whilst building the surrounding map I noticed some resemblance to a place of some significance in the town of nottingham (insert robin hood reference here).
Nottingham victoria station, now demolished and in place a shopping centre, was built in an excavated space, so I decided I would try to give the impression by creating some arches that my construction took place within a former rail station.
The third change was an addition of a break-out space for the builders, in the form of a porter cabin. Thanks to gtamike for this suggestion.
Hope you like!

Great map Sadist
+ Good use of sounds really adds the atmosphere
+ The map has a nice layout and I think it will play well on a full server
+ Good use of textures
+ The lighting is just right
+ Frame rate was fine for me
Nice work on the updates good improvement from beta.

Very realist ambiance with the songs of the construction site and the textures. This is an impressive map.
