I ran thru your map abit and i gotta say i like what i see! Slipgate - Smile still this map do have some problems.

First the layout is very good! the map has a quite nice flow in it, some nice trick jumps and rocket jumping action!

However i do think there isnt enough ammo..especially rocket ammo is very scare in this map

Also your light map is very bright and kinda..washed away what compile strings do you use? i think this map should be a bit more dark..

I did find some graphical glitches, nameley you forgot to texture one face i 'll upload a screenshot later on
I know many ppls hate "botttomless lava pits" but i really think your lava should be deaper at the GL
And as far as i could see..you havent clipped the map enough, some areas needs to be sealed off i could actually jump outside the map at one location, besides it is always a good thing to clip things that  a player might get stucked in.

But except that the map is almost good to go! some great brushwork there!

Again and again, I am impressed Kaz!

However, I do agree with Reboot that the ammo in the level is quite scarce. If this were a tourney map then the current distribution of ammo would be fine, but once 4+ players enter the game the ammo count will be grueling, especially in Generations. Deeper lava pits would make the hazard areas actaully hazardous, but I wouldn't go as far as making them bottomless - just deep enough so that the player's movement is impaired.

That aside, great use of ambient sounds! That is something which a lot of recent maps are missing, btu they add so much to the gameplay experience. The lighting was qutie nice I think, although they could be colored to help make each room look more distinct and easier to remember from the others (red/yellow ambient lighting which Quake2 had a lot of).

I'll test it out in a minute, but if Reboot and Tek say ammo is too scarce, they're probably right. Gen is an extremely ammo-intensive mod, with every type of ammo being a major item for a class. Doom loves shotgun shells, Slipgate is a rocketwhore (grenade pickups work too), and Strogg needs lightning (bullets) and rails. Earth can get by comfortably with a medium load of everything, but shotgun/lightning ammo (bullets) is a staple for the class as well.

And lava isn't as big of a hazard in Gen as it is in vQ3, as the damage has been put to quake2 levels. The lava needs to be a bit deeper to be as much of a hazard as it is in standard quake3.

Every class benefits from more rocket ammo, so that's something to consider also.  The appearance in the screenshots looks very yummy indeed.  Keep up the good work!
