CP Untitled

My first actual map, I tried hard (and read all the threads I could) to make this not bad. I think I did fairly well for no previous experience, but it's not great by any means.

It's a 5cp map set in a storage/transfer facility in an industrial area away from the city, and the actual facility is mostly underground.

The last control point is quite open and has a lot of paths to it, so it requires 3 people to initiate capture, and has a capture rate of around 5 seconds (probably going to be changed), I wanted to prevent back capping, or one person somehow getting behind the defense and winning quickly.
When the 2nd control point is captured, some of the main entrances to the base close, So the attacking team has less paths to the last cp, making it a little easier to defend. ..But, there's still ways to get to some of the paths that the doors block.

Update, after being lazy and not working on it for a long time, I got back to mapping and touched up the map a bit.

Also, on the BLU side stairs up to the fortifications there's a glitched texture on the wall that always appears no matter what I do, I have no idea how to get rid of it.

I can't think of a name for this, so any suggestions for a name would be great

As said, I'm going to be re-working the middle area.
Thanks for the feedback though!

Do you mean you cant capture the point without three people? What if two of them died in the battle? Or is that just a tactical assumption you made? And you know, preventing back capping can really steal some of those glorious moments you see every now and again. Though, I suppose Im only saying that being a scout.

I kindof felt it was required, because there's a bunch of ways somebody could sneak through the defence and jump on the point, and I didn't really want to require somebody standing on it at all times to prevent that.

I'm back, and I added a download now.

Also, as stated up in the original post, any fixes for that annoying texture glitch would be quite welcomed.

Here's a picture (if it works...)
Also, I know that now, but I didn't when I started mapping with the texture, but I decided it doesn't look that bad and decided to leave it there (be lazy).


@ ROFLsnakes:
The cliff walls actually do have displacements, it's just really hard to see from that perspective I now realize. Possibly I could slant them outwards a bit, and as you said, add prop rocks, to make it look better.

And about the contrast with the wood and the walls, I see what you mean, although it's not very noticeable in-game, I will try to find a more fitting wood texture for it.

I'm not sure what's going on there. You sure there isn't a brush there with that texture applied to it?

Does the texture flicker at all if you move around? That would be a sure sign of z-fighting, which means you have two brush faces occupying the same place.

No z-fighting here, I even tried taking apart that area, and there's no brushes that could be responsible for this texture.
