Very nice. Love your style. It's . . bold and angry. Looks like the climate in those shots would be very unforgiving. Cool stuff. I aint too good when it comes to constructive crit, or deconstructive crit, so I'll let a mapper give the obligatory advice that comes with posting pics.
That looks really angry. That is the only word I could steal for the meaning. Like a Level 1 who says "screw sneaking around" and leaps down hallways taking off marines heads.
damn nice shots i like the theme on this map..... i really like it, and it has the ns ambience on it <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> keep the screenies and good stuff coming

-==- Thanx Alot for the feedback. 1. Ill fix that texture on the coolant pod. 2. Captions? sure thing. 3. "It's . . bold and angry." nice way to put it.
I posted a second set of screenshots if you would like to have a look at those also. ---- <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=4;t=4870" target="_blank">Ns_coolant : #2</a> ---- -==-
I did a double take on the first pic, looks used, dirty and stark. Perfect.
In the fourth pic there is that wide, flat open space. Aliens get slaughtered without cover and judging by the infestation this is close to a hive. I don't think this is a good combination.

Most hives are actually pretty open areas, and it's not too bad. Generally any hive area is going to be well-populated with upgrade chambers and turrets, so there is cover.
However, with a quick look at that shot... yeah, it's pretty bare. Any chance of some pipes or alcoves in the walls/ceiling for aliens to hide in? It will also help to break up the repetitiveness of the wall texturing.
Maybe a little more contrast on the lighting, too - make a few shadows and stuff.
u could just place some pipes at the floor, so it looks liken they where broken, and that would look cool and it would give a nice place to cover for the aliens.......

That is the hive. Its already hopeless at that point.
