Awesome map, great job with that. It was fairly long and really classy and stylish : the new stuff you designed (like the thingie in the first room) really fits in the portal universe. Also the puzzles were quite nice.
Anyway, about the [spoiler]Boss Battle:

I think to improve it you should make the turret say "I am the automated defense TURRET" instead of "I am the automated defense system". Like Syon i didnt really have a clue that the "system" was the turret. I tought I had to shoot the giant glass eye over it, or the laser shooter etc.
Also in normal portal the turrets are never destroyed by their own rockets... so it wasnt really easy to think of that. Maybe you could change the turret model around a bit by making it look a little ruined. Maybe you can add cracks and rust and sparkles to suggest the thing CAN be destroyed by a rocket.[/spoiler]

Just my 2 cents. Cant wait for your next map.

Just got done playing this one and it was a lot of fun. I thought the environment was very cool, a nice balance between Portal and the HL. These games are related after all people. You have to think ahead as well as react, which is great. Overall great map!

The only part I wasn't too crazy about was the jumping section but I always dislike those so don't take it personally. The fizzlers comments made previously apply to me as well but that's an easy fix. Also the portal bumpers, that's a pet peeve of mine. It takes a little experimenting to find out when to use a bumper and when to use a non portal volume but you'll get the hang of it.

I did run into one problem in boss battle. I shot a portal behind a metal box that was flush to the wall and when I walked through it I was actually inside the box. That's the first time I've seen that in any map I've played. Simple fix again, just move the box a few unit away from the wall and it shouldn't happen. Screenshot on the left shows me half in the box, the one on the left shows which box it was. I went back in game to take these so it's not exactly what I experienced the first tiem but you get the idea.

I gave up. I watched the video, and I just never seen combine balls in the map, only the combine ball spawner.

HUH? COnfused... is anyone else having this problem? Just curious; if so I may have to look into it asap. Maybe you noclip ahead and jumped a trigger or something is best as I can figure for now-- Let me know soon---

Forget about it. I think i was completely blind or I played without a headset.

I played it today. It has its unique style and I liked the BTS area. The fizzler things apply to me too
[spoiler]But I was unable to find a way to take the two cubes out of the room with the Vital apparatus vent. There is a fizzler in the exit of the room and there is no other way to go or to shoot a portal through, so I had to noclip it I think I missed something.
And the final battle was unclear to me too. I shot the turret by accident, but its quote was funny
Anyway, before I shot the turret, I tried shooting at the glass windows (that was supposed to work) and at the metal door which covered the turret. When this door got shot by a rocket, the turret behind the door died (a little bug I noticed, hope I explained it in a clear way)[/spoiler]

A great map, but I had problems with the turret at the end, too. If I hadn't known that in the normal Portal turrets can't shoot themselves then that would have been my first option, but I tried shooting the servers, the glass, the circular bit at the top, and even tried standing on blocks to get a clear vertical shot into the laser things attached to the ceiling ^_^

Good work, though.
