Edit: fixed Oddity is a map that started out as any other, a couple of friends messing around in forge. My friend, iceninja95, who I give partial credit to, said we should camp on top of the towers to snipe people in bases we can make. I start to make bases with him and we both agree that his is horrible he lets me make the whole map after this. I still give him credit though I am nice. As I was making this map it started to look better than any other map i have made(btw none published). So i decided to delete the walls on the towers and make it into a Team Slayer/CTF map. Map is best with 4-8 people and can be played with Team Slayer,CTF, or One flag.

It doesn't seem like there is much cover between the bases other than the central structure or at least that's all I could tell from your screen shots. One overview pic would be nice. Your map's is a nice start with good aesthetics, but you need to add more to it. And welcome to forgehub and I just want you to know you're already doing better than most new people here at forgehub.
An overview would be good, but from what I see, it looks like three structures with absolutely nothing in between. Not the best for any kind of gameplay. You should probably add some cover.
Yeah ! An overview could be very helpfull ! And maybe you could put a Weapon List ! The base looks great but to simple add more level and ramp ! Good work for start !
Ok, I know everyone is saying "put an overview" and "add more cover" but even the bases look to plain. What I can see is that they are two bases with a central structure. Definitely expand this map out and add more to not only the open areas but the bases so the gameplay can be smoother. Also, the blue base seems a lot better than the red base creating camping and lopsided gameplay, but good start, just keep going!
I bet you blew your entire budget on the bases and center structure so you couldn't make any cover outside of the subject. That happens to me a lot also, but I still think that this map has room for A LOT more improvement. Don't get me wrong, the bases and center structure are creative and can be used in future map constructions. I personally would give the map a 3.5/5, mainly for structural originality.
I'll help you with the map, just by looking at it I got a few ideas instantly from some of my other maps. I'd like to show you them Itching to play with the forge some more. Add me, my GT is JoseAgua.
