What is wrong with this? Im trying to learn some map designing. There will be a MGS robot in the hangar if the map is worth making.

Nice idea, I love the original MGS from Sony PlayStation 1. The map should be very attractive. I don't understand the part with the question what is wrong, but also, since I'm not in mapping (or Half-Life and it's parts, expansions etc.) I don't think I can be much of a help. If you want to read an opinion of an unexperienced guy (aka me), then I must say that the map looks balanced enough... I guess...

the spawn points are to close together imo

Definitely, the two sides can probably chuck grenades at the other spawn point from their spawn. Still, it's hard to judge the scale, and overall it's a very nice design.

good thinking. ive built, lit and tested most parts of the map, exept the second bomb point. it should contain some mainframe computer, that ive got to build from scratch :C

try putting the spawn point of the CT on point nr3 and make the obstacles realy big (maybe even up to the ceiling)
allso: put up some screens of the parts you made

Im using the dev/measure textures right now. Not that much to look at, really. Having trouble designing the computer room tho. It's gotta have multiple entrances, and have limited camping places. Back to the drawing board!

Call me blind, but where's bombsite A? Is it coupled with CT spawn?

I think you should put a vent [or just some sort of passage] going from area 1 to area 4, much like the light blue one going from 2 to 4, otherwise it's going to be very easy for CT to just sit and snipe the terrorists from relatively near their own spawn.

If CT Spawn does double up as bombsite A you could do with opening up an alternative entrance there as well, perhaps another vent in the righthand corner of the image going from 3 to 2.

Right now it looks as if the Terrorists are going to be doing all the work whilst the CTs sit around picking them off, which is really unfair on a de_ map.

You guessed correctly. The CTs do start out at one of the bombsites.
