Anyone heard of the City of Atlantis? This map reminds me of that, except I don't really understand how a submerged city would only be submerged some of the time. Anyway, the "cool" bit about this map is that it slowly fills up with water, and eventually empties. Rinse and repeat. Kind of neat, but it seems like it would make gameplay impossible. It is small, though, and if it wasn't so wet it might make for a decent duel map.

In regards to the rest of the map, the texturing and brushwork is primitive. I didn't notice any curves anywhere, and nowhere did I see a light entity that had a source, something that, while a common error among beginning mappers, shouldn't be an issue with someone submitting to the intermediate skill level. The texturing was also a bit bland, mixing several types of textures that my all rights probably shouldn't be mixed. It seems almost no heed was paid to cohesiveness, and all the map effort went into the water effect, which is a shame.

Overall it's a map that strikes me as neither playable, nor particularly advanced in technique. This map was submitted long before the deadline, so in the future I would recommend taking more time and really sculpting a great map.
