This is just a quick and simple map. As you can watch in the included video, its not done. And what you see is what is there. After this area is complete, I MAY build the base larger, with more rooms and such.

Old Video:

(wmv is 3.5 megs)
The screen up front will look pretty much like the game DEFCON.
a few suggestions:
1) try and spice up the lighting, it looks like there is a single light in the middle of the room
2) it looks too thin to be that high (the control panels) consider fixing that.
3) The map is currently a hollowed out block (at least the final room is, anyway) add some detail, railings, whatever the detailing along the top and bottom of walls are called, more props, add some variation in shape to the room. Make it larger, it seems really cramped.
4) Use a different texture for the back of the panels, it's driving me crazy right now. Consider modeling a nice looking, detailed panel...
5) make it seem livelier, as though there were actually people there. It would be depressing as hell to work in a hollowed out, solid concrete room which is cramped and has no detail. Add some spacing between the panels, more chairs, maybe some carpeting. I was thinking maybe make it all on really large "steps" which eventually lead down to a small raised platform with a bunch of giant screens behind it.
1) Still working on the lighting, I do have light and light_spot? combos on all the lights.
2) Which panels
3) An underground bunker during the cold war with nukes in the air, I wouldn't be complaining about cramped. Map is still WIP, more props and such to come.
4) Will do
5) Depressing? Yes, its a nuclear war. Do like the steps idea and will implement them.
Again, still WIP.

Yeah, make sure there is no light coming from the middle of the room and that all the light is from an actual light source, such as the lamps.
As for the fifth item, I mean depressing as in there is no life in it. Even an undergound nuclear silo had some life in it. It just seems a bit unnatural, might be a better way to put it.
You should use a search engine to find out what a real nuclear bunker looks like, mainly that it's not going to have walls and things that look straight out of a sewer that hasn't been maintained in decades.
