That looks like a massive firing line right to the point.

I agree, screen shot 2 does have a rather large sight line to the point, but only testing can tell whether it's "bad" or "good."
It's looks pretty nice so far, can't wait to test it!

Screenshot three tells me another story. It seems like it's too far off the path for a medium healthkit, and there's no patch under said item anyway.

Thoughts from the test:
- Need to break up sightlines a bit
- Lower route needs to be more prominent
- Major route is too open to effectively use

Played it, and it was very nice!
But:
1. Put the control point IN the building, there is no reason for it not to be there.
2. There are long sightlines near the point, as a sniper I dominated the field, not to mention when 3 more snipers joined me...
Keep up the great work!

haven't played it but:
Maybe add a dropdown from inside hut down to the health, add cover around the outside part of the point (boxes like near slate cp2/4), also consider adding the indoor path i suggested from the cliffside with the health up and onto an overlooking catwalk

You should try a spring/dirty winter runnoff. Big glacier, dirty snow, etc.

Wanted to test some smaller layout changes before adding the new routes to upper Mangy suggested (I'm definitely keeping that concept in mind).

Not deciding on a theme yet.
