Well, methinks this is a good gameplay map for what it is.
I really wanted to make a good defence map for Bravo, I've done this by putting 4 Machine Guns below where Alpha has to cross to get the flag. If Bravo uses this wisely, they could be unstoppable. I've also put a small ledge in the base where a sniper could sit.
I didn't put alot of things in Alphas base, only the white flag and ofcourse some star wars tunnel things (in ground). This would provide good attacking for when the flag is coming back with someone right behind them. Also, when they have got the flag, they could throw the flag to the other side. You probably wouldn't get the score though...
The middle, is nothing. When I say nothing, there is nothing really there except snow. This provides fast access to try and get the flag, also fast access to the white flag. There is also a good spot right above the machine guns. This is for Alpha to stay, then when the moment is right, throw a grenade down there.

After testing the map via playing and looking the overall layout via PolyWorks, I came to following conclusions:
- Not enough scenery. Even if it has to be in back level, so you cannot hide in it, there should be some scenery as it makes the map look a lot better (of course if the scenery placement has done well). Well, there are iciciles in blue base and few others but that won't do. It isn't pleasant to look or play map filled with emptiness.
- Some polygons are not connected to each other so you can see some empty "areas" in the walls. Plus, when you look the overview of map in map maker, such as PolyWorks, you can notice the huge amount of unnecessary polygons used in both bases. Try to fix that as you really won't need that many.
- The roof is in awfully high. Nobody sees the scenery used in it. Lower it significally!
- You don't need that much jets. Halve it at least.
- It looks too plain.. you just run to left in very flat ground. Put few hills to middle of map! Otherwise it's too boring.
- And please shade your map as it makes the map look way better.
I rate this map 3/10 for now. I'll hope you make improved version some day :)

Its a very basic map but i agree with Aoba, if this is a starars map 'hy does it not feel like Starwars!?' put in some alkers or even better make a polyork walker with an interior? combines close quarter fighting with open.

It's too plain. Needs shading, more scenery, and layout modifications.

Texture is annoying, and it doesn't really remind me of hoth at all, just another snow map. You should add the shield generator.

It doesnt really resemble hoth....
maybe you should play battlefront and get a good idea from that.
it need a proper base for the rebels - indoors

First thing that struck me about it was, as already stated, it's basically just ugly. Also looks very basic.
