I have attached a demo (well, two, I got interrupted) of some suggestions.  For the sake of understanding what I mean about the metal with wood, in one of my beta maps (link) I had most of the wood surrounded by metal edges, whether it be platforms or ramps, to hide the grains matching oddly.

I think yes. Ask a moderator
Map committee, not a moderator ;)

If you can find a better option that suits you go for it!  I was just showing you an example of what I had done to make it look visually better, there will be plenty of other ways to make it look better as well.

There are some more dark places and misaligned textures. You can find them easily if you go around, over and under the map with noclip.

By pressing 'N' or you bind it to another button with "bind X noclip".

Why does it matter ? You don't get there when you play anyways.

Somehow I never got around to checking out beta 11, so we played it in the Paintball 2 Social Saturday event.  I doubt you're still around, MrVarron, but if you happen to see this within the next 2 weeks, you can check out the stream from when I played here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/876148635 (starting at about 53 minutes).

Overall sentiment from people playing it: It's a bit large and confusing, like 3 maps in 1.  There's so much space, that it's easy to get lost or not see other players.  I think the changes needed to make more popular/enjoyable would be a pretty massive overhaul, effectively turning it into a completely different map, so I wouldn't really worry about it.

Visually, it looks good, though!  I like how you tweaked the ladder by the flag to make it much more visible.  The ivy growing around the low to mid path looks cool, too.

Some minor things that could use tweaking:
- Ramp next to the flag has something that you get stuck on if you move slowly and/or crouch while trying to move up it.
- The dead-end path in the middle (just a room with a window) is really weird and gets people lost.  I could see it being useful if you could get there before people exit their base, but it's on the enemy side, so that won't really happen.  Perhaps if there was a box you could jump up on and crouch through the window it would be a viable path?  Otherwise, I'd consider a way to close it off to avoid confusion.

Another little thing I noticed: the slope of the roofs in the base is to steep to walk on, but it looks like you can walk on it, which can result in slipping off and falling back to the ground.  Annoying when you're trying to grab the flag.
