:ughh:
Blocky, horrible textures, been done before, nothing very interesting.
Look at some of the other maps in the releases section before you release.
look at the quality of them compared to the quality of yours and look at the reviews they got.
I understand that when you first make a map, you think its the best thing ever because YOU made it.
Don't be cocky...
this is just another of the hundreds of fullbright, blocky, and horridly textured nuke maps.
Next time, add lighting!
add detail, dont make it so drab
add something interesting, so we actually download it.
try to make it less blocky.
use better textures

You're lacking common sense, you're lazy and you can't spell.
:dogout:
Your map is blocky in term of architecture, lacking details or any fancy atmosphere effect, poor lighting, and empty. It doesn't matter if it's testing field or not. To other, it's not worth downloading because of the quality you're showing is poor.

I do know how to spell, i just use those types of things when i talk to people on the web......
ok then fine, give me some ideas then, and ill see what i can do.....
If you do not have ideas of your own then maybe mapping isn't for you. By all means, start with no skill and build up; everyone starts somewhere. Unfortunately your maps are consistently bad...that is to say you haven't appeared to learn from your mistakes.
Take time on a map, make something original and put as much effort into it as you can. There are so many tutorials out there that you can always find something to teach you.
Essentially, if you aren't prepared to put time or effort in then the maps will get the same comments:
Badly Lit
Badly Textured
Blocky
Unoriginal.

[B]It is blocky.[/B]
Blocky means that there are no soft corners or anything, just faces Flat on the X,Y, and Z axis.
If it is not interesting, then why should we download it?
there are already much better nuke testing maps out there.
for Christ's sake flatgrass has more detail.

Use clip tool and smoothing group.
This is a good map, yours is not

Go through the Hammer tutorial if you haven't already, it will teach you how to use all of the various tools.
[url]http://www.interlopers.net/[/url] has good tutorials too.

You need to adopt a common theme for the lighting and materials. For example, a busy lab would use mainly white lights with clean metal or concrete textures.
An abandoned military bunker would use dirty lighting, and predominantly dirty concrete.
You room has no common theme. It is a mix of textures with green lights which makes no real sense. None of the lights have any obvious source either. Generally, use wall textures for the walls, and floor textures for the floor. There are ceiling textures, but occasionally some of the other types of textures can be used.

Actually, a bit. Improve your maps continously until you think they are good enough.
Also, write [IMG][/IMG*] (without the *) to the edges of the link.

Quite a bit.
Move the light entities down so you don't get so much glare, and put a light_spot on each of the light sources.
