I personally think that this map is significantly more pleasing than your last!
Its not as narrow anymore, very open
The camp spots seem more balanced to me, and more creative/unique (not 90% crouch spots hehe xd)

However, i think the open-ness can also be a bit harsh on zombies if there is a lot of autosnipers for example, they would take lots of hp from them, but that is to be seen

Other than that, i think the looks/design can be improved, creating an actual world with less contrasts in the structures if you get what i mean

But overall, i think this is a huge improvement, im surprised and i would actually want to play this on the server once.



Keep in mind that im not an admin, just some personal encouraging feedback and what i think of the map. There is also a newly created thread for submitting maps with guidance to follow and checkboxes to fill (as well as nice words). Wishing you much luck/fun on the project you start.

Honestly,the map concept isn't bad but there is one major issue I see:

- This whole elevated area with the wooden floor is a safe heaven for autosnipers to be raining hell down on those poor fatties...
Either revamp it,or completely get rid of it.

Other than that,design-wise the map seems a bit plain and empty. I know the theme is desert based,but I think those empty brick walls could use a bit more life to them.
Maybe some enviromental details,some more props around the map? You name it. Please keep up with this project,it's definately not bad for someone's first map.

Dont forget to optimize the map with hint/skip brushes etc or else the map will have very low fps because its a fully open map. :)
