Some texture rendered brushes randomly become opaque, mostly glass doors.
This isn't affect gameplay, just kinda annyoing.

Even though the mapper himself (according to his/her bio) doesn’t seem to like this map, I still think it’s a good one. It has interesting ideas, but the way they are executed makes me a bit uncomfortable. I’d like to share some constructive criticism:
- The intro is unnecessarily long
- I understand it’s a co-op game, but requiring at least 3 players feels excessive
- The computers are slow and their feedback is not very clear
- The map is very gray and not very intuitive; even experienced players struggle to understand what to do
- Friendly fire from the laser weapon, on servers with “funny” players, is an invitation to chaos
That said, despite everything, I still think it’s a good map, with solid puzzles and good overall quality, especially since I didn’t encounter any bugs.
