It's interesting that you decided to do a mirrored 5cp map, instead of a rotationaly symmetrical one. The only map I know of that does this is Croissant.

I also want to say that for a first map, you seem to have a good knack for how TF2 buildings fit and work, will all those angled roofs and all. I can see using the same texture for the floors as the wall being somewhat confusing to players. Maybe in the next update you use a darker grey grid texture for the floors?

My 2 cents:

Mirrored maps are usually annoying to play, because it was "mirrored" so the layout is not the same for both team

There's already a supply cabinet, 2 ammo boxes are unnecessary
Last spawn room always has at least 2 spawn doors to avoid spawn camping

Floating ammo box
This drop is basically free damage for the defenders, they can spam the shit out of everyone stand down here while the attackers can't do anything

Narrow - straightforward hallways
Obvious flanking routes (or could say secret passageways), they're bad because they allow the attackers to get to the back of the base for free

Personally I don't like a room put there just for health and ammo

So many crazy Sniper sightlines with small windows, allowed them to hiding and avoid taking damage

Also the Capture and Respawn time is so freaking fast

Agreed on all the points you made I'll be sure to start working on a2, what do you recommend I do on the forward point?

These walls are quite thin. Maybe you wanna keep it like that, but idk.

This is a strange piece of geometry, also the sniper windows are really small, maybe remove the bits in between and make it one long opening. It could also be made taller/ larger on the y axis.

Extremely large sightline that goes right past the exits for red and blue on mid cap.
Also, you probably already know, but the glass in the spawnrooms needs to be fixed.

Hope this helps :)

Right so here are some plans for a2
-rotational symmetry
( I think that's what it's called)
-removing flank to last point
-connector between flank to B and the building above it.
-removing drop on last along with removing ammo
-minor fixes related extremely helpful feedback
