This map has major spawn camping issues: US spawn after you take B and US spawn after you take A. The Insurgence side also has spawn camping issues, but there is rarely a situation when the Insurgence gets spawn camped because they're doing the spawn camping (and once they do that, they win fairly easily). When the US spawn camps Insurgency, the insurgency can usually get out by having their RPG player fire at the ground. But when the insurgency spawn camps the US, one can only hope that they have quick enough reflexes to take out the spawn camper.

I only see the Charlie US spawn as a major issue because the insurgency initially spawns in that position. Therefore, if they know Bravo is going to be taken out, they can set up their position. With US Alpha, spawn camping only becomes an issue once emergency reinforcements are needed.

US players usually complain about how hard Alpha is to capture. The major tactic US players need to use is speed. US can set up their support/sniper to lay suppressive fire on the ridge line. The rest of the team can rush towards Alpha and secure it. But that's not all. US needs to push further than alpha (up the ridge line) to make sure grenades/rpgs do not disrupt the capture process.

Charlie can be fairly tough to capture too, but a great hiding spot is behind the white car. Usually, the 3 window house can cause a fair amount of trouble, but if you hide behind the car, you won't be seen by anyone in the 3 house and you can capture the objective fairly easily.

I've uploaded an altered IMC2 file that increases the cap time for Bravo, Charlie and Delta to 30, 45 and 30 respectively. We'll see how it plays.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the changes...but I noticed today that as the Insurgent SL on Sinjar, once Charlie was up, I could not issue any orders to defend Charlie. I was stuck with "Attack Bravo" until Charlie was capped. At which point it changed to "Defend Delta."

It seems the commands are always borked.

Yep every push map does it on the defense. really annoying.
