Hey everyone, here is my first map. I am currently looking for some feedback on the general layout. Currently the biggest issue I can see is that sightlines for snipers are very very open.

Please add screenshots of the actual map offered in the download and add the thumbnail image too.

The first thing you need to do is add lights.

Can you not see when you are in the map? If so, I am not really worried about lighting at this point.

No, you must add lights, otherwise the server goes to fullbright which is ugly, and when on makes all other maps after that fullbright as well.

Please add a light_environment entity for outdoors, and light_spot or light entities for indoors.

Well I added a few lights... not really sure of an effective way of adding lights that doesn't require a ton of light entities.

Use light_environment.
See http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_2_Sky_List for a list of environment lights (with corresponding skyboxes)
