Biggest peice of advice for a mapper making a 5cp:

Interesting Mid battles are important. Final points should be defensible but not impossible to take, and decent to push out of once you defend it.

But more than anything else in the map, make the 2nd point FUN. 75% of the time in a good match is spent on attacking 2, defending 2, attacking from 2, etc etc. I think alot of mappers underestimate this, but it's a large part of why Badlands is awesome. All the cool jumps, flanking positions, airshot chances... almost all of it is in the 2nd control point area.

mix up the elevation, but dont forget the medic has to walk everywhere

dont make it too confined or things will get spammy and scouts will hate it

try to limit the number of hard chokepoints or distance them from eachother so you dont have granary standoffs.
