MY EYES!  THEY HURT SO MUCH!

Seriously, of all of the tilesets you could have used, that was the worst one.  Plus, it looks a bit too large.

Even GYRO MAN'S tileset would have been a better choice!

No, it's not the brightness, it's Airman's tileset.  It's painful to look at.  Airman's actual stage is bad enough, a stage that is even bigger is terrible.

I see that you put a lot of work into this, but i think it is essentially too big. my eyes hurt from just looking at the stage. i tried it out and the epic largeness is a something that may have been destined to be a good idea, but it kinda falls. im sure a little more practice and you will make a much better stage.

This is basically what we said, except more drawn out.

Why are you complaining about the bad textures? Complain about the bad layout. Way too open, no cover. Deathpits are too common. Please look at good CTF maps for inspiration.

...We have all been taught a lesson here.
Just because it burns your eyes does not mean it's a bad map.
If it has a bad layout, it is a bad map.

Yeah. All the CTF maps use an unique layout, unique tilesets (some borrowed from robot masters levels) and unique music. This stage has none.

Sorry! Not trying to be harsh, but...

Don't worry. We arn't saying "give up mapping". I'm actually very glad that you started mapping. Can't have enough mappers :).

Here's a tip. Don't let anyone get you to lose confidence. Learn from what people say within reason. Try to experiment with different layouts. Practice making small maps. When you get good at that. Large maps will be easy-peasy.

It's really good that you started mapping :)

Airman's evil tileset burned my eyes before I noticed the layout.

Also, yes, I tend to exaggerate my criticism while on the internet.  Simply work with a better tileset and make the map smaller.

Detailing is the 2nd lesson. The 1st lesson is layouts.

I tend to blur the two while making a map.  I make the room, then I make the details of that room, then I go on to the next room.

Another suggestion is to work on a stage with a set tileset first (i.e. not a CTF map).  For my CTF map, I've having big trouble making the stage look pleasing to the eye.
