Well, it definitely wasn't bad.  I'm gonna give you a 9 for the concept, but a 3 for the execution.

First off, Quick-Air-Man's theme doesn't blend very well.  I recommend getting them on the same soundfont to start.  If it helps, whistle the two themes chopped up and mixed together, to help you blend them better.
Secondly, if you're going to have a map be this large, you really ought to have more weapons and recovery capsules spread out.  I shouldn't have to hike to one specific area to get my HP refilled unless that's the gimmick.  Actually, HP I can understand, but at least give us some more ammo capsules.
Lastly, the Rush Coil.  I like what you're going for, here--use Rush Coil wisely and grab the weapon of your choice.  However, nobody's going to spend Rush Coil on T-Sentry when they could get Rush Jet or Eddie instead.  I'd move T-Sentry to the ground or remove it altogether.
Also something about textures here

That is all.

I hope you are ready to read, as unfortunately I have a bizarre knack for writing longer posts.

Don't quit being a mapper, sure it can be a very long trial and error process. I mean this stuff takes time to make "good maps" I am not one of the expert/highly acknowledged mapper, I am just a novice as well. But don't quit because you made a "Craptastic Map." We all make bad maps and good maps. Even some of the expert mappers make maps that are sometimes called "bad maps."  Although in most cases the majority loves them and then, there are those select few who dispise them so much. I am one of those select few guys who dispise certain map packs. "That, Lobsters fella ain't right in the head, I tell ya."

    In my brief seven or eight minutes in Quick Air Man(g). I noticed somethings real quickly, It has a lot of open space and the song is a mix of Quick Man and Air Man. The song got old real fast. Something about the buzzy sounding Quick Man switching to a the umm musical stuff think, Lobsters, think, oh um... Um, riffy sound of Air Man. Odd how I listen to some stuff that has some music genre bending in it. Potential irony aside. I found it odd how there were steps leading to nowhere. It took me a bit to get that lightbulb moment to happen on how to get Slash Claw, and boom teleporter. I have my stupid moments I know, I even pressed use against the pillar's sides.  
I love and most absoulutlely LOVE how you put junk shield on the side.  And how it is a little cluster of tiny platforms that you can walk across. I haven't tested to see if you can die on them besides from going to the left or the right. But I thought "Aww look at these little platforms how cute errr neat."

But honestly Lag Man, I see you could have mapping potential. I don't know what number map this is, but well keep on practicing.  I learned somethings from videos by a guy named something like Chubzdoomer on Youtube.
Again this is coming from a novice mapper so take it however you want, but I think I could see you do something awesome. If you decide to back down that is okay. But don't get discouraged by just being a new mapper.

I think he simply pulled a me and said his maps were Craptastic because he doesn't want to be egotistical.

I'll take a look at this later, then!
