A spot light or other light source pointing at a few of those areas would work well, I think. But no, not the ambient light level.
See, what I'm saying is, the gameplay area doesn't need to be bright. It's bright enough right now (from what I've seen) that you can tell what other players are doing (class, team, weapons) but that out-of-play areas (tops of cliffs/buildings) are in deep shadow.
Which is perfect.

I looooooooooove your idea, but its too dark. Aim for stadium lighting levels of light in the play areas and leave the rest dark or sparsely lit. It'll go a long way in making the level feel very atmospheric.
Also, your lighting should draw the players to important locations like control points, or to important things like directional signs or cp signs. I see an instance of the latter with the sign outside B in your second screenshot in your last post, and an instance of the former with B. The A sign outside of CP A could use some light as well.
You've got a really solid idea here, keep working at it

If you look carefully, all of the "dark" areas you are referring to are places where there are dark texture colors but sufficient light levels.
Example:
Looks pretty dark, especially up there on those cliffs. But lets add a soldier:
Dark, but not pitch black. As long as you can distinguish texture details, the lighting is good. The atmosphere only looks like its in shadow because of the textures being used as well as strategic placement of lights.

Yeah, but move that soldier underneath the balcony bit behind the capture point, and make it a sniper...plus any fog that's going to add more cover for the sniper.
I think point B is ok lighting wise and looks nice, but point A needs a little more light IMO.
