Theres only one big pool on altair if I remember right, and yes it does play horribly. Put a grating over or a few inches beneath the surfaces on Sub Bay 6 and you're fine though.
Altair without the FPS drops wouldn't be all that bad. Mostly just some way whacky Hive designs - pit of death and 2 ladders of dewm, for example. At least it didn't suffer from custom map doorway syndrome where every doorway can be CC blocked with ease.

I like darker more "atmospheric" maps also (NO, that doesn't mean I like maps where the mapper just made everything dark to get automatic "atmosphere"), but I'm afraid there really it's going to be feasible. People are always going to be able to turn their brightness or gamma up (and in some cases it's even necessary, e.g. if your computer is right next to a window that the sun comes through). The best you can do is find a good community where scores don't matter and you can have fun playing.
