As Spook stated, the map needs more paths.  Not just to the flag, but in general.  Also, you need to work on your visuals a bit to help make the map look more convincing.  The walls are large, flat, and square, when they should look more like rocks.  The trees look really fake (it's almost impossible to make good looking trees out of brushes, so it's best to just not have them at all).  The colored tiles all over the tunnel are way too bright.  I'd use a different texture and maybe have a small strip of them along the sides to indicate the colors.  I like how the area above the tunnel looks, though.

I like how the tunnels look, personally- but I agree with jits and spook, the layout needs work.

lmao thanks spook.
Well i cannot make the map anyway longer, cause it would exeed the limit. But i could make it Wider. I will try to stick in some more paths, i will loose the trees. All the stuff that you guys said i will try to make better and add.

Thanks a lot guys

there shouldnt be boundaries, they hold back making really big and cool DM maps

no, not by yourself, they should make the next bsp version (if there will be one ever) hav boundaries that can be set by the mapper, they need to make it so more entities can be added too.

The boundaries are a limitation of the engine and how it transmits entity data, not the map format.

i know that, why cant they just make the boundaries larger than? they dont even really matter, you onlyy see the map alone anyway. the boundaries are too small anyway.

He wants to do away with the +/-4096 map size limit, I believe.  It's not as simple as just "removing the limit".  The compilers, map format, and game network protocol all have to be rewritten or tweaked to support larger boundaries, not just the map editor (which I think supports larger bounds already).  It also means more data has to be transferred, and thus more potential lag (especially for dialup users).

Besides bigger maps arent even that good. If a map is really long and wide, it sucks unless it has more than 10 people in it
