Looks good.

Try working on a map for more then 3 hours and make it look like an actual place instead of two angled boxes.

Its not finishd ... that was just to say, i took me 3 houres to make that ...
It's going to take many many houres to perfect it
And the idea is just to make a small aim map...
oowh, its mah first map
But thanks for the advice

Intersecting brushes is never a good idea. Take the two walls in the top-down view. They are intersecting each other which will cause longer compile times and maybe some errors further down the road.

that brushwork is so sloppy it makes me want to cry. map neatly! spend much more time on this. that map looks like a pile of elephant shit in terms of visual quality. i understand that this is not out of the ordinary for CS:S custom maps, but that's no excuse. learn to map, take some time to do it, and you will be rewarded with a map that looks pretty and runs well.

You're extremely supportive AND pleasant.

The thing that made Warlords good in Red Faction was that you could mine into the walls and ground using the Fusion Rocket Launcher. Without that, this map is meh-ish.
