Trauma you should add some more screen shots to show the most recent changes.

TRAUMA May 2011

They are the most recent changes :P

By Endless Nine May 2011

Pros

Attention to detail. Scary map, something you don't see often. Good level design. Huge change from the first version, the flickering lights and sound effects are very good.

Cons

A few minor layout issues, It seems a lot of the old issues have been fixed though. Buggy start, because it takes a while for the bots to realize how to get up out of the elevator.

I'd love to see this as a campaign. If you were to further add to the map which i think is a good idea, I'd add more ambient sounds, more areas (perhaps multiple floors). The new areas make the map bigger, but the map is still a little bit cramped. Also the new details such as flickering lights and sounds changed this from being a standard office survival map, to something quite scary, I'm quite surprised. Despite what the trolls are saying, and they are trolls, this map is very high quality and I recommend a download.

@ Marcusyho

Thank you very much for your review and I've taken all your views into account. From the previous review I started to improve my map, by expanding, improving nav's etc, and should have an update by tomorrow. I fixed the area with the molotov and the trash can changed two melees weapon's so they both spawn randomly and added some weapon upgrades. Tomorrow I will improve it further with your added feedback, which is very much appreciated, thanks!

Pros

Design is okey Very well detaild map Challange

Cons

Glitches Ambient sounds? Small map Molotov (see conclusion) Could use more melee weapon variaty And weapon upgrade(s)

Since its your first released map I will let you know this. Adding props is neccecery ofc, but it might a risc. If you jump on the boxes with a lamp or open the green toilet door and camp in there, auto spitt spawn since zombies can't get you there. So calld glitch. The map is very small! I could sometimes see where the infected spawn and if you play with 4 human players and camp all around the map, infected can't spawn at all! The molotov in the trash was not an bad idea but its possible to move the trash and the molotov float in the air. Also, it was lack of melee weapons. I saw katana everytime I played! It was also lack of weapon upgrades like laser sight and explosion/fire ammo. And I didn't notice if you added ambient sounds this time, I just played the map. But if you didn't, you should add it. I think its a great first release! Just make sure its big enough for both infected and survivors. Heres some of my suggestions: 1: Make some areas for infected only. Like a vent (in the wall or roof) 2: Make sure the map isn't silent. Add ambient sound(s). The easiest way is to copy from valve campaigns. 3: Add at least one melee weapon with "any" so we dont get the same weapon everytime. 4: You said its a building site? Add zombie workers maybe? If you dont know how to create them, go to my website located on my profile. I have a tutorial on how to spawn uncommon infected. 5: Try to work as much as you can with the navigation. Glitches destroy a big part of your map. If you dont get a working navigation everywhere, block the prop with a playerclip or something. A good first release! Keep up the work! :)

Pros

-Nice Detail -Nice lighting -well placed items -challenging...

Cons

-a bit too small

I think this is a nice map because the lighting is favorable and the prop placement was good. Although, the map's size is really what holds back this maps potential. Add a couple more rooms or maybe even a whole floor. I feel like if I had 4 people I could cover all spawns and nothing would spawn, but I have no idea if that would work. That is just how i see it. The map also provides a good challenge because of the lack of space which is a key element to survival maps.
