whoa -- he looks like an ant -- that bunker must be 20 feet tall. :)  I'll take a look at it when I get back home.  You might consider doing something with the outdoor lighting -- it looks kind of bland.  Try experimenting with aghrad's sun lighting: http://www.planetquake.com/arghrad/

ok i made a few changes to the map:
you now have guns and you can play 1 flag and 2 flags, also i made some ammo boxes.

now the question is should i release it now or wait until i have more changes?

Don't release it as non-beta until it's been tested.

is there any way to make a wall that dissapears after a team is eliminated?
Not that I can think of.  You can make a func_teamwall which will appear when there are no players on a team, though.  What are you trying to do?

i was just asking because i had an idea of a map that it was separeted in half in one half there where two teams and in the other one too.
after one team of each half was eliminated the walls dissapeared and the winning teams go against each other.
i even made the map because i thought that func_teamwall worked the other way.
i can always make a ladder that appears after a team gets eliminated right?

Its way too open. Water in places is a good idea too since the new water is so cool.

Water ? Taco ment the kind you can get out of.  ;)

Way to open?. What do you have to hide from, but he is right about have some cover its funner to crouch under enemy fire and pop up and kill zem all

 TACO!!!... COME OUT AND PLAY!!!- "The Warriors"   I just defaced this forum with a "Warriors" referrance MUHAHAHA. Nice map kid keep it up and when Jitspoe says  I will gladly load it.

Ok beta needs either spawned weapons spyders with steel barrells or a mixture of weapons, and a waterfall with creek no larger than a single jump  and deep enough to avoid shooting fish in a barrell, like the ones in cannibus canyon.

ok i was testing it with spydie and he told me that i should put a thing on the mid like the one on 2k3cliffs
but im not sure because i want it to be a fast map and if i put a structure in the middle that would just slow u down.
can anyone tell me if i should put it?

There is a map out there that has a wall disapear, or appear depending on how many people are on a team.  I don't remember the name off hand but it has a raised spawn/cap room and the rooms sit accross the map from each other.  On the outside of the rooms are arrows which show that the 2nd door it open.  If it'll help I'd get the name of the map and maker (I think it may be s8n) so you could ask him about it.  I know it's not exactly  what you were looking for but it may help.

Does the water flow out of the other side?  You need to add some more brushes and cut off those "sharp" corners -- make it look more natural.
