I'm a mapper. I'm trying to be a good mapper. I'm getting there.

I am posting my thoughs because I hope you practice what you "put in your signature". I also like the "spirit" behind your quote.

This and the original map are a mixed bag for me with things to like and not like.

Don't like:
1. I am not a big fan of the setting (casino) for this game as it seems way out of place.
2. The layout is too consistant with an actual casino and doesn't offer much in the way of gameplay. Add the wide open dance floor area and the map seems like it was made for R6: Vegas, not UT.
3. The deluxe version lags waaay too much. My computer should easily handle any map at the medium settings (which i ran the map on), but this map easily dipping into the mid twenties, which isn't a good thing.
4. The lighting/bloom/effects can be a bit too distracting from the limited gameplay the map offers.

Do like:
1. From a visual standpoint, the map is freaking cool. I love the updated effects and atmosphere!
2. The potential for a good DM map to be placed is a very modern and realistic setting (casino). For this to work, I think the map needs more levels/stairs to allow for z-axis fighting. The casino elements can still be there, but it has to be a fun map to play first, make it look nice/cool/ect, second.

I know you have skills with the editor and various other programs. I can tell you take care in making your maps. I respect all of these points. But for me, the map is more of a show case of visual and technical talents than a fun map to play (layout and too many effects to lower FPS). Ironically, I will keep this map on my drive, but it's mainly to appreciate the visuals, so I won't be adding any bots when I "play" it.
