I'm assuming you're talking strictly about layout, so we'll leave all the aesthetics out of this post.

I might suggest a little bit of a place for people to land when they first spawn -- at about the height of the middle route and halfway in between the flag and spawn points.  It would add to the map tactically as well as provide a place for people to easily jump to the upper route, but the downside is that it's also a place to spam the hell out of the other side ctf_dropdown-style (which this map seems to be heavily based on).

Other than that, I'd have to play the map to see what else you could use.

Hope that helps!

it does help, thank you,  but the fact is you couldnt sit and spam everything hurts you would die before you spammed half as much as in dropdown, also im going to worry about aesthetics later, as i realize this is not an appealing looking map at the moment but right now i would like to try to balance it

Wonderful.  There are too many mappers around here who focus on the look of their map but completely forget playability.
