If you actually stop and measure scales in FPSs that look right,
you'll realise that they are in fact incredibly skewed. Doors and
windows are made larger, corridors wider, the list goes on. Its when
people try to build things to actual scale that they look
wrong. Good article about this in the gamedev magazine about a year
ago.
