I can only rate this 4/5... which is rule breaking!
Aw man, you would've given me 5/5 if you found the bonus teleport(at the very least you should try triggering the top of the tower thingy) or tried jumping off the map! Surely that's worth an extra point.
There are some things that I would usually dismiss:
- Ambience is not looping (although CSV says it should be)
- The textures are not all aligned between brushes, you can see where 2 brushes meet. Too many places.
Ambience can loop but that would mean an extra 25MB larger .iwd file(.wav files loop without a problem but increase the .iwd size too much)
About the texture alignment problem, I don't really see where the alignment issues are. I suppose the mitre'd edges of the platform don't align as well as you'd like them to?
This is what I would say is the exception to the rule (regarding 'floating platforms'), if you are gonna make floating platform maps, they should look as pollished as this.
Hooray for being an exception to the rule!
(also, while using CJ mod, I was getting 'pink gun' syndrome)
DX9 off, I never make a .grid file.
Also, its the mods fault. :p
