Well, well. First map. I'm glad you are open to honesty.
First, it's not impressive. Subpar. I assume the arrow blocks are fake, the others solid. Feel free to change that, later, so that they're all arrows, or something.
Anyhow, looking at it, it's a shoot-across map. Less cover than anything.
In actiony maps, like this, (generally 1x1) you want to minimize ladder time. EXPOSED ladder time. If the ladders were (mostly) behind a wall, that'd be ok, but with the ladders exposed like this, you'll die if you climb them.
The center hump, it goes up 2 bricks. You put ammo boxes down, as a floor. Those aren't solid, they refill your ammo if you a)have 3 KC, and b)hit 'e' or keypad0. Thus, as they aren't solid, and you can't jump up 2 bricks, you cant get over the center from the ground. You have to climb up the ladder (see above) and jump over. Not smart.
Apart from that, it's just basic. Up at the top, you can't climb on just 1 square of ladder. So those top ladders can't be used.

It's ok. And thank you, for ASKING for 1-10. You won't believe how many whiny people want 1-5.

As it stands,
3.8/10. It's a first map, it's what I'd expect, and it's not GREAT. Consider it a learning experience, take my (and others') advice, and continue to practice. Practice makes perfect.

Try to have a theme for a map.

Try and think up a battleground or something.

This map seems... theme-less.
