So.. many.. barrels... But seriously, try a different approaches to detail or sight blocking. Brush based is the best, at least at first. The layout looks solid but a middle point on a bridge in a desert environment. Where have I seen that before? Seriously, No offense, but maybe try for a slightly different theme. Even if your not trying copying another map it's best to keep a safe distance from popular maps. Do you like Badlands? Probably. Do you want another Badlands clone? Probably not. That's not to say you should stay away entirely. There's a reason certain maps are popular, try to tap into that. I'd recommend taking small bits of inspiration. Like theme, or bits of the layout. Mix it around with other designs or layouts or add an original theme like Egypt or Hydro or something you like. Have you played on a 5cp map set in the desert or alpine? likely. Played on a 5cp map set in Egypt or Japan? Unlikely. Give us something new. Something unique.
