I find this map pretty frustrating. The terrain is not really suitable for infantry or tanks and it feels like it's lacking coherent objectives. I suppose you could get something out of the long range armor combat, but there are not enough tanks to keep everyone happy, and the tank combat mostly consists of two tanks shooting at each other over the bridges.
The infantry combat is really spread out, that is, if you manage to get over the river without being sniped during. I can move around the map for minutes on 32 player server without seeing anyone.
The visual side could also use more detail, especially the river part.
What to fix? Well, the combat should be concencrated on few areas, not around the map. It needs more coherent objectives. In my opinion, half of the map could be cut out, including the smaller bridge, and making more the river part harder to cross. Moving pieces of ice would really add to the map. It should also be made impossible for the tanks to cross. I really doubt a 55 ton Tiger could cross a river -note, streaming river, not a frozen lake- without sinking there. It could have some intensive combat over the railroad bridge, which the map should in my opinion concencrated on.
