Looks good so far, but the open space is what bothers me. I'd suggest putting a shack or some small building here, the sightline is just too big.
where exactly?
I'd say, somewhere where that cart is.
As you can see here Sniper can get massive advantage, and good Snipers will abuse it
(probably not a good example but you get it)

Roof is T H I C Ci'm working on my new map which will now be farm themed.
Use 4 units instead
Edit: a field with a truck in it is not really an interesting battlefield. On top of what ArticZero suggested, I suggest cutting the field and giving it a bit of height variety. For example, take a look at this screenshot from Harvest.
What could have been a big, boring flat road became this. It is much more interesting and offers a lot of classes some interesting tactics.

Kiiinda - that looks like way too open an area to me, but I think it's important to distinguish between "an open area" and a sightline - the latter is bad because it's narrow like a corridor (so you can't dodge the attacks) - or even so narrow you can't see or shoot back at the sniper (like a gap between props). This area might well be too big to fight in, but that would be because snipers are the only ones effective at range in it, not because it's a sightline.
Also that building looks a bit over-scaled, at least in the door. It looks to be twice the height of a player (based on the gate behind it). Now big doors are acceptable if you give a theme reason for it, but that looks like it should be a much smaller door than it is. Also fence as the wall of a building? I highly suggest giving that a actual wall. And what is up with that truck, it look tiiiiny. Did you shrink the truck to fit a single barrel, and if so why?
The building is basically a loading area for the train that appears every 60 seconds. It has to be big since a train goes through it and big crates and stuff needs to get loaded there
It is already smaller then that
let me elaborate don't think the building itself it out of scale, but the doors and windows make it look like it. Also I get why the fence is there, but it looks strange inside the building. I suggest stopping the building sooner, so there is a small out door area that the train passes through. It may even include the loading platforms, but just not a roof and walls. If you made this section the width of the doorway it wouldn't even change the game play that much, but may look more natural.
Probably a bad explanation, but idk how else to describe it without showing you the geometry

I dont think so.
This is the building I was talking about.
You might have confused with cp_well building but this building is a lot smaller because it does not have the train gate prop.
The dump trucks being used to transport the yellow barrels still feels so wierd to me, as does the proliferation of barrels with seemingly no rhyme or reason. But that is a significant improvement over what was there before.
You might want to vary how the rock wall meets the top of the concrete a bit, make it seem a bit more natural.
