Completely unplayable. Please fix the collision on the polygons used for shadows.

Haha it's ok. Well, Laser Guy did your work for you.. but at least it's next to your own downloads.

Regarding the map: er... I simply cannot picture myself playing on it from the overview. Guess I'll download it for further insight. From simply looking at it, the gameplay will be a little chunky. Sure looks nice for a first.

Took a nice long look at it while waiting for the download. This is what I saw:
 
Flag capturing favors the bottom route. With the current flag placements, the top-most player spawns are completely out of the gameplay. Also, the top route under the roof is ineffective. Maybe raise the flags up a platform to where you have one player spawn.

But then, that area around the flag is rather bunged up and doesn't favor quick movement at all... Although this map is meant to be all industrial, you will need a few rounded-off points or else "game-flow" is horrid. I'll post a pic of what I mean.

Eh, I hate to say it, because it looks really nice, but it's not great. It's buggy and hard to move around, and I get errors when ever I start the map or interact with the flag. In future maps you should put layout ahead of appearance. You should also use smaller sceneries, because soldat has trouble with large ones.

I edited a bit. Removed all the stupid "teeth" on the gears that are most likely the fault of low movement speed. Here's a simplified look at the layout.

Maybe you should leave the gears' teeth but give them transparency and make them set to not collide?

Well, here's my critique...





Obviously, leave the scenery and fix the shadows accordingly.

Alrighty I made some changes according to your criticisms. But if the flag location is an issue I'm sure you can rearrange that easily. Thanks for your comments and ideas for further improvement and advantages of this map.
