This seems to turn out pretty good. Maybe the whole mapping community can still remember you as a great mapper who had many wonderful ideas and managed to use them in his map.., rather than mapper who decompiled others work and used their content in his maps. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

In 2nd screenshot the green looks weird. It looks like you want it to come from the texture on the wall so why no use textured lighting in stead... Looks like your placing just one light entity in front of the texture <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The same goes for the light texture near the ceiling...
If you don't want to use textured lighting just place more lightentities with lower light level all along the the front of the texture. More work but would look better then placing just one
Well, since this actually appears to be nexus's work, i won't mention that 'd' word.
But you need to learn to use overlays for the monitors, and make the overlay a texlight as well, it will help explain some lighting anomalies you seem to have.

I don't really see any places where overlays would be neccesary, since some people prefer to leave monitors dark-looking.
However, there is one place where he's got some texture scaling on an overlay a bit messed up. I circled it in the screenshot and attached it.
Nexus, just one thing to say: Don't quit this map like you have all your others (even if they were decompiles). Once you start something, you should finish it (except when circumstances deem it impossible ala decompiles).

It's... nice... empty feeling though. But I want to see some sort of hologram which has "join marines/aliens" on it. That screenshot does not give a clear shot of the ready room itself IMHO.
Again more dodgy texturing which makes us want to mention the 'd' word (as esuna so bluntly put it).
Im with KFDM, HL2 will sort the men from the boys when it comes to mapping. So much detail will be needed for the simplest of maps, so only the imaginative, creative, determined and talented will survive.
So this looks like the last time we will see Nexus on the forums and mapping if he is "going away for 2 months". I remember when I done that, then had my pc blow up and have to start building a new portfolio from scratch this coming summer. Oh its a tough life.
