this map didn't turn out as well as i was hoping. i broke a lot of rules in the process of making it. i tried to make it in pieces and put it together. then on top of that i tried to cut holes in the middle of the map and add more stuff. in the end it had a lot of leaks and it gave me worse fps then my first one. from a mappers standpoint this map is a mess and needs to be completely rebuilt using the current one as a blueprint. unfortunately i want to get started on my other projects, i have decited to just box the map. this won't fix the leaks, but it will prevent them from affecting the gameplay of the map. its like using duct tape to fix your car, it will work, but it doesn't fix the problem. i want to move on and use what i have learned from this map and apply it to my next project. from a players standpoint, this map runs great. on my first map, i got 25 fps when the server was empty and i was standing still looking across it. this map, the lowest i will get looking across the middle is 75 fps. and the way it sits now, i get up to 150 fps in some parts with my old ass card, which is something i have never seen before. below are a few screens that should hold you guys over until i have time to send the map to whut and get a play test worked out.  entering one side of the base from the ground floor. there are 2 ways in each base from both floors.  the locker room is where you have to go to get the flag. there is only one way in/out until you blow the floor to expose another route.  looking across the middle of the level where there are plenty of benches and tables to be tossed around.

nah, its like 2_fort.
i was working on that idea, but i couldn't think of a good one that fit the school theme. so i didn't go that route. i'm contemplating the idea of DOD domination style and how i would do that for a HL2DM map. secure all the flags at once to win the round. maybe one of my future maps will be like that if it can be done, we shall see.

This looks kickass.
That last screenshot in retrospect to the others reminds me a lot of that place in Star Wars 2: something of the clones; it's a sort of tight-hallway indoor facility where everything is white and well-lit. And then in that last pic it somehow jogged my memory to a scene where Obi-Wan was walking through a hallway, and looked down at a mess hall for clones.
