I just took a look at your map, and:
  • Avoid having such a large space outside the playing area. A much better way to do this would be to make a 3D skybox. Here's a guide for making one, but it's not necessary to worry about them for maps that are early in development.
  • Your ground is 100% flat with not even the tiniest hill. To make gameplay more interesting, I suggest making hills/valleys alongside your buildings and props. Height variation is important for a map to be fun!
  • I'd also consider simplifying the gameplay area in general. There are just lots of props and bricks placed everywhere with no real reasoning.
  • Another thing you should do is make it clearer which side of the map is RED and which is BLU. If players get disoriented they may end up running to the wrong spawn.
  • However your scaling is great, and I personally like the theme you chose!

I agree with the hill stuff stated above. Go on the brush face editor and create a displacement with a power of 2 or 3 on your ground, then paint the geometry to what you see fits.

That thing if 1st and 3rd screenshots, last one. Also these walls on 2nd look bad too. Well, there are probably sth looking good that is not in screenshots.

Some general improvement feedback:
The koth in your title is a little unecessary because it's already tagged
Please include a version number (a1, b3, rc7 etc)
I hope your BSP doesn't have any capitals in its name, as that causes issues with servers trying to run it.
Assuming this is a1 of your first map, I think you have gone a little overboard with detailing, considering usually it's standard practice to create the first version using pretty much only dev textures, ESPECIALLY before having tested the map publicly.
Also, your tagline is "King of The Hill" when it could be something like "Mann Co's Last Stand" or something to get the viewer interested.

This Is The Last Stand From MannCo To win and this map is all about red vs blu
Red Wants to Explode Blu
But Blu Are Having The Same Idea


I Am Thinking to Make Something Like Trailer-Small Movie 1 min about that do you want?

@Another Crowbar if you cared enough to post nope.avi in response to the trailer, then surely you can put in the effort to give constructive criticism :/

Personally I think the trailer could use some more cinematic transitions between images so it doesn't look so much like a slideshow, and better timing of the transitions so they sync up with the music. The End of the Line trailer is a nice example of both of these things.

Well, it's better to create a great map with no trailer and anything such then create less than average map with even worse trailer.
I'm sorry for nope.avi.
