Played with the map a few times, my impressions:
1) It is a pretty large map with several defensible locations. It reminds me of Yemen.
2) IMHO ARs are good for this map. It is also SR/LMG friendly. Aggressive players may find the map annoying because of campable locations as well as head glitching spots.
Do I like the map? so far feels OK but not great.

This is my favorite "Revolution" map so far. At least in Domination. I don't love how it plays in deathmatch. But I far prefer open sniping maps, and even though most of the map doesn't feel like this, The B-Dom area is great for it if you hold the side by the steps to snipe over B from. I think its the A side but I could be wrong.
Full disclosure: I absolutely love every snowy map in CoD history. But I do honestly like how this one plays. Even if you don't snipe/Lmg its also a great silenced/stealth flanking map. You can sneak up behind people from a lot of different areas. In general I think it plays well, but certainly feels like a map that you might need a good team on to do well.

Haven't gotten this one for Dom yet, but TDM has been fun.

I really like this one as well. And footstep sounds. On snow!

Played TDM, Dom and KC on this map last night, it was indeed fun. I like to run my silenced AR class with Awareness + Dead Silence. DS is important on this map because other than the footsteps on snow, the players' yelling seem to be pretty loud. When I was using my "Spider" class (Scavenger + Awareness + 2 Shocks + Betty), I got rushed a few times as soon as I placed my mines. Upon checking the killcam, it was the yelling (e.g. charges out!) that gives me away.
This and Mirage are now my most favorite maps of this DLC. Grind is OK, Hydro is not.

Absolutely my favorite map not only of the DLC, but of the entire game. Finally a map that is large enough to not be instant death upon spawning (it still happens, but less often). I hate that the other "large maps" are nothing but CQ copied and mirrored and pasted, with no long lines of sight. This one has lots of long range paths for snipers/ARs/LMGs, as well as CQ methods of flanking. I love it.
My favorite spot is the little room in the middle looking over B. Loitering tactically? Heck yes.

This is a well designed map for medium range engagement. As Vond pointed out in his "bullet point" video, all vantage locations overseeing middle can see each other, producing opportunities of intense mid-range duels.
The gondola hazard is absolutely horrifying. When I am in that building, I am so preoccupied by finding other players ther and the least thing on my mind is to avoid them. I can't remember one game that I did not get killed by that thing :-(
