I hate catch 22s, they haunt me, but this one however looks absolutely amazing.
I figured at first that it would be the same as most other maps using a similar theme, but I've been proved wrong. :)

The layout is large and requires a bit of running around to fully get the hang of it, which I love. I've always believed that a good layout is one you need to take the time to learn. This may be symmetrical, but I honestly didn't even notice till about ten minutes in.

The detailing is over the top. I absolutely love the small belts you have running about in various places, along with countless other small details. ( control rooms, escape pods, elevator shaft and cables, etc )

Lighting appears to work well with the map, though I'm curious how an incandescent lighting style would look.
There were a few things with the lighting that got me a little, there's two, short, mid level halls with a catwalk over top of them, near the center of the map. These have a light on either side, but seem to be overly bright compared to the rest of the map. I think those should be toned down a bit.
You fog, which partially impacts the look of the lighting, is a pinkish color. When you look up at the sky you can see the fog over the stone, I think your fog should either be a touch darker, or have a slightly higher distance as it breaks the feeling right there. ( just personal opinions )

I have not tried game-play yet, but I believe this map would be excellent in multiplayer. Large open spaces, as well as some smaller tighter areas. Not to mention various advantageous positions.

Over all, I love it, and I think this oughta be on the front page. ;) 10/10 from me, as everything works perfectly as it is.

PS. Packaging is perfect too. You made my day.

Excellent map... just a few minor fixes needed:
-Both pairs of jumppads on the bottom of the map(the cave part) have mapmodel ents but the models are missing
-The glass case filled with dirt could use an envmap.
-In the hallway with conveyors... the vscrolled conveyors have the vertical faces going the wrong dirction.(on only one side of the map)
-The 3 flamable barrel mapmodels grouped together just above the same hallway mentioned above overlap each other very clearly.
-Stray bullets and four lights can be found outside the geometry under the map.
-Three random air pockets formed outside the map per side. All on the bottom part of the map. Two under staircases, the third is under a dirt mound.
-The corners of the boxes under the framework in the center of the map(just passed the hallways with the conveyors) all have the glitched corners.

ohyeah, finally someone who made something really spectacular!
only two things u should still pay attention to: light ( too dark, looks boring ( always keep in mind, lighting is, at least, as important than geometry or texturing) and fog (stands in contrast with the dark lighting. it may looks better if u'd turn it into a dark colour) (i know, both got already mentioned)

Ive only gotten a quick walkthrough, and on lowest settings at that, but when I get on my home pc I will do a full run through.

What I can say now is that this map has made me extremly happy because it gives me the feel of ruby which I did always love :P all it needs is to be sticking out of a cliff and it would be complete :D I dont expect you to do that of course, just saying.

I will return to this later. Very nice map though ;)

thanks for youre advice! i changed some things and updated it.

Downloading and testing now, but tell me about why you came to the name Catch 22? It is one of my favorite books, and I'm wondering about your choice for a name. :)

The details in the map are good, but they do not capture my atention as they should, because they arent original, you just used a theme from another map and used it to make a layout.
The lights are just white and boring.
a lot of parts (mostly in the walls or the cieling)have details and textures that dont make any sense, they just looks like blocks with random textures and form.
that is all.

PS: the name isnt really good, try to think of another one in english.

I guess now would be a good time to spend 6 hours in front of a text editor to finish up Soc's Tech Texture Pack so i can force sinsch into retexturing the whole thing hahaha

I love the map, although I was only able to do a small run-through with low settings on a bad computer (will test on a better computer later).

My only complaints are:

1) Random squares extruding from walls, that doesn't really make sense ;P
2) Lighting is bland.
3) The theme looks kinda like you made mine within the cave-in within tempest. Which i like and dislike because the style and texturing i believe is pretty much identical to tempest.
4) I feel like some of the paths are slightly too narrow or too short.
5) A tad too dark for my taste.
6) The hole by the flag stand isn't clipped, so if somebody gets fragged above it the flag will fall aallllllllllll the way down, and they will have to wait for it to respawn (Which can be VERY annoying when fragging)

Other than that, I would love to see this in the next release!

I think you should take a new screenshot. This one doesn't quite capture the intrinsic nature of the map.
