Vacant is a close quarters epic spec ops, wall spamming, flash frenzy. But after last week's map, mp_pipeline, this is a much more balanced map for offense and defense. The corridors on this map are long and narrow which makes flashes fairly useful, as well as very effective in abundance. Along with the thin wall spamming is the long distance.
Now some may say "long distance? this guy is high" well, besides the smokes being thrown A side, Snipers and m16's have opportunities for picks just as much as they did on mp_pipeline. Down the long A and B halls are also chances to get great picks off round start.
Many teams try and smoke the A platform on defense to advance into the A bombsite and setup. Whereas on offense, the team may use that smoke as well to advance up, and spam the walls. This also cuts off any snipe picks off round start, but an m16 can be proven fairly deadly if spamming in the correct places.
On defense, many send a spec ops to Bathroom through A bombsite/A hall, a lot of offensive teams try and land a nade down there before he throws a nade down A hall. At the same time on B side, defense usually sends a guy through the B storage room and offensive teams try and pick him through B Hall or the front door. These two rushes are vital for defense, as the bathroom is a central location to move between bombsites and prevent any rushes A & B side.
From the bathroom, they can control the A Hall, some of the A bombsite, the Courtyard, the Cabinets hall and Cabinets. As well in those positions they can watch B hall/bedrooms and Kitchen. Once these guys are picked off, this leaves the Back A defensive players, and the back B storage/office players. I've seen a lot of offensive teams try and work picks through the bathroom and moving to whichever bombsite according to whichever side they've unstacked.
Overall, the Call of Duty community seems completely unsatisfied with IW's maps. I on the other hand, cherish what has been given and learn to adapt, which is why I am soooo good.
