Now, a little backstory: Still with no choice except keep advancing thru the depths of the Aperture facilities, you reach the old advanced research complex, where you end up bumping into some intriguing information, that start putting in doubt your actual objective.

This was a nice map. I liked the puzzle in the final room. And I'm glad to see you had as much trouble fizzling the cube as I did. The exploring part was okay for what it was, but it was a little odd to see the clean fizzlers in that environment (or any fizzlers, for that matter). It's obvious you put a lot of work into this map. Thanks for creating.
I loved that exploring part, very very nice detailed. Also i like the Plot Twist between underground and testchamber, thanks for creating 
5/5
Thanks, actually the laser was the only thing pointed by my beta tester that i forgot to correct before release, that moment on the playtrought was when i noticed that 
i will correct in a future update, the fizzlers models is other thing that i have to change... i was needing a portal cleanser , is better then use invisible ones (Yup i remembered you Lone Wolf XD).
And i have one question: You said that "The exploring part was okay for what it was..." i want to know from you whay you think that it was.. and with base on that, what suggestions you have for me to improve in the future maps?. 
Ps: Don't get me wrong... i really want to know what to improve .
The clean fizzlers make sense for me, since the offices seem to be built just before moving to the clean-style maps. I thought the office areas looked very nice, loved all the custom posters. This map is very good.
Just a little thing though, the Old Aperture vertical doors should use the sound "World.UndergroundHeavyMetalArrive" and open/close much faster. Perhaps the 'no fizzling rubbish' sign shouldn't use the word 'fizzler', since that name isn't really used in-game.

Thanks, i had a hard time trying to find the right sound effect XD , i will correct this.
Portal is essentially a puzzle game. The exploratory bits are in there mainly to advance the story. So I don't expect much to happen in these kinds of sections and that is what usually happpens: nothing. You find a switch to throw, you read some posters, you marvel at the lovely, detailed rooms. But what I really want is another puzzle. Your Future-Starter maps have been better than most at giving us some excitement along with the exploring. And so I don't have any suggestions for you. Your maps are lovingly detailed and thoughtfully constructed. I don't mind some exploring. It's just not why I play Portal.
Ok, thx for answering, i'm a little sad that you don't have any suggestions, this is the first time that i'm trying to create a story based mappack so i'm trying now to take some opinions and suggestions here an there to help me in create better maps in the future.
Here's a suggestion: the elevator ride at the beginning is too long; make it go faster. In the puzzle room at the end, it makes no sense that you can't fire a portal through the laserfield; add a fizzler.
EDIT: You might also want to add some autosaves, especially one as you enter the puzzle room at the end.
