pl_crusade- Canyon Payload Map

One-stage payload map set in red's canyon base being developed for competitive Highlander play.
This is my first map, looking for feedback.

It's quite good for a first map, however it suffers from quite a large amount of overscaling.
The sightlines along the tracks are really big at a fair few points, and if you tested this in a gameday, I wouldn't be surprised if each team had at least 3 snipers. You might have been running around the map as a scout while testing the scale of it, but I recommend using one of the classes that run at regular speed (e.g. sniper and engie) to see how big areas feel.
Just downscaling the whole map by a bit (or a lot) will go a long way to helping this map be fun to play on.
Don't get disheartened by this, as many first maps (including my own) suffer from overscaling.
