More map testing anyone?

I'd like some feedback on this map.
It's a (really) small DM level that I kinda just through together, didn't plan it out first or anything.

I'm pleased so far how it turned out, it's small, maybe to small, but I managed to create something rather quickly that is playable and doesn't look too crap.

I'll be releasing a final version on Sunday since I don't have anymore time to map after that.

My Opinion:
The layout and the deco are pleasing. It's a good size for two-on-two. Item + weapon placement is set up nicely. The setup for the sniper is very effective. images/icons/grin.gif
It's a little too dark for my tastes, but overall a good map.

This map gives me serious eyestrain: it feels too dark and hazy to me. I would definitely brighten it up a little.

I would put the rocket launcher right in the middle of the bridge.
Put the most desirable weapons in the most vulnerable places.

The map feels too "open" to me. There aren't any good places to set up an ambush. I like a map that has a few places where I can catch my breath. You could add a few nooks or partially close off some of the outer rooms by adding a few walls.

I like to have at least ONE natural hazard like a lava or toxic waste pool.
