for me its a bit too dark? maybe add some beautiful starry sky and some moonlight if possible? the other issue i had is with the item placements being too close to each other, like the stuff crammed into the HMMWV, like i cant panic select the molotov or the pipebomb, i gotta take my second for it like a boomer <3. otherwise great map love it much, ( also boomers get stuck on the ramp on the main tent maybe check it out )

Alright here I go.

#1: The lighting across the map does not align very well with the skybox. Either the light_environment should be made brighter (and the fog too) or the skybox should change to one that is significantly darker.

#2: The tree cards below the bridge should be changed out for actual tree models as their material isn't affected by lighting. If you are concerned about performance you can make them fade out at a certain distance.

#3: Skybox fog should be implemented if you go with a brighter environment to seem more natural. Put a brush with a texture on it that has a fade like skybox/urban_horizon in the 3d skybox for skybox fog to blend with. Makes a horizon look far more natural.

#4: Put regular light entities alongside the light_spot to simulate refraction/diffusion/the light just behaving like a light better. Just give it a low brightness so it doesn't overshadow the light_spot. It will just look way nicer and make it less of a stark contrast of what is easily visible and what isn't.

#5: Raise the fences on the bridge or clip them off. If you have a niche strategic reason for leaving them accessible that I can't detect then that is fine, but it seemingly serves no gameplay purpose to stand on top of them and it pushes you off the edge anyway (Though you can counteract the push and stay up there anyway which I imagine is not intended). Would save performance by having less trigger_hurt if you just clip them off instead.

#6: Certain vehicles should be clipped a bit better to ease movement. Like the back bumper of the red truck near a cement mixer, and the front wheels of that cement mixer itself. (As well as any other cement mixers and trucks.)

That's about all I can think of at the moment. Thank you.

City is background looks just dead and out of place, it makes the map look empty and low quality.

Lighting is poor, I'll assume that's partly because of the skybox.

FPS is terribly bad for some reason. I get as low as like 80-90 mid round when I should get around 140~ at lowest which is what I typically would get in a Survival round on Official Maps.
I honestly would probably refuse to play it just because of this as the game doesn't feel smooth to me anymore since I'm so used to playing higher fps and on 144hz

Bots refuse to ever heal with Medkit, only Pills/Adren and rarely pick up ammo from the ammo piles, but I'll assume that's a Valve issue.

Map's far too easy. I can solo 20+ with bots even with the issues they have I mentioned above. I can't imagine what a round with real players would go like, It'd probably be just as easy as Parish Bridge.

你在说什么

The lighting on the trees and buildings in the background don't really blend in well together. Also it takes like at least a minute and a quarter for a tank to reach me when spawned. Probably cuz of the so many cars that slow them down. And during that time it takes for the tank to get here barley any infected attack us. Probably only like a few special infected spawn, but not much zombie action in this map.
