Base to base sniping is really crappy. Having d snipers take out the hof for the other team is just annoying.

I think the flag stand is too small.

I think the map would be improved 10x if you scaled the terrain up 200% (twice as wide, long and high (maybe even 300-400% height)), keeping the bases in the same position, relative to the terrain (so they are further apart.)

OOB grid too close to the back of the base.
Too Flat

Art is fantastic on this map.

I'm fine with the map being small and the sniping, makes it interesting and force fields can always stop sniper projectiles if you're a HOF.

Some slightly larger hills in the center would be nice for speed.

The grid needs to be pushed back further at the back of each base.

The artwork is excellent.
