Do cubemaps matter?
I know they mattered in portal 1, but from the looks of it they aren't needed in portal 2. Am I correct to assume this?
They do matter
They are used on every reflective surface, from metal to the gel splatter to the cubes
Everything you think is wrong. Cubemaps are what makes reflections work. Without them your map looks like you have no idea how to use the Source engine... oh.

Guess what msleeper, I do know how to use the source engine, now can you please stop bashing me whenever I ask a question? I've added in cubemaps into my map and nothing changed at all. I ran buildcubemaps and everything so I figured they weren't needed.
By the way, does this look like it was made by somebody who has no idea how to use the source engine?
msleeper has a habit of bashing people. Back on topic, This picture looks like a remake of a Portal 1 map.

It is, I'm working on a mod that's a remake of Portal 1, notice the 1.5 in the corner.
Might want to adjust the observation room lighting; there's a huge bright spot on the ceiling and the room itself is a bit dark.
Now with 100% more inline comments!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if you added cubemaps and saw no visible difference, either you're looking in the wrong places or you didn't use them properly. :S
Yes because we care about your 1.5 very much. >.>

Notice how the metal walls are not giving off any reflections? Sometimes too you need to reset portal or the map for it to appear properly.
