Vacant

• Weapons: SMGs(MP5, AK74, P90)Shotguns, LMGs and Assault(M16,M4,AK47)
• British SAS spawn outside the trailers in front of the main front door building. Russian Spetznaz spawn in the Office Block.
• Areas of interest: Office Block, Warehouse, Outside trailers, Outside Gas Truck and Raised Gas Tanks next to the trailers, raised platform leading to warehouse, Parking lot to the right of the British spawn, dumpster window looking down the hallway toward the bathroom on the right and doors on the left for the warehouse, other dumpster window lookin down the hallway offices on the right and Office Block hallway door

Interior battles run amuck in this map. Hide in the shadows to get the jump on guys or lay down behind cover since its hard to see inside sometimes. I usually call air strikes for outside areas or near the warehouse and sometimes you can kill a guy in the open roof room inside the building if you feel lucky. you’ll see the room when you first go to the main door of the building. Most kills on me come from the Office Block where you can hide in the shadows or overlook the bathroom door from the gated doorway inside the computer room near the warehouse door. Sorry if it sounds confusing. I guess its best to watch the kill cam on this map when you feel like you don’t know where you got killed. I’ve seen guys tend to camp the platform from the steps and left side of the platform, as well as the dumpster windows sometimes on top of dumpster in the crouched position or prone behind cover inside the buildings windows.

Chiroasso’s Take:

I only like to use SMG's on this map. The MP5 and P90 with RDS and unsilenced are my guns of choice. The action is usually non stop on this map and I feel the silencer only hurts you more than it helps because it cuts down on range. And range is needed when the guys are camping the windows at the end of the halls or you are moving through the hangar area. Shotgun can be used but it's hard to get multiple kills with it and this is a map that often times has you running into two or more people at a time. LMG can work because of it's magazine capacity but it's not the easiest to shoot from the hip. That's another thing, I always use steady aim in the last perk slot on this map. Because 90% of the time you are turning corners and shooting from the hip without looking down the sites.

Grenade Tossing on Vacant:
If you spawn as SAS on this map run straight ahead up the steps and right before you enter the door straight ahead of you start cooking your grenade. Move through the little courtyard and throw the grenade when you get close to the door on the other side. You are going to throw it through that door and the other door behind it and slightly to the right. It takes some practice to get down but once you do the kills come easy. My personal best is four with one grenade.

If you spawn as Spetsnaz, the first thing to do is move out through the hangar to the right. Not the other way because of the grenade threat. Anyways what I'll do is move through the hangar and when I get a little more than half way I throw a flash through the opening between the roof and the wall in front of me. Not through the door. I throw it slightly to the left and follow up with a frag grenade. This toss has a fifty fifty chance of getting someone. Since most people go straight ahead at the start of the match.

Something else that comes in handy on this map is C4. You'd be amazed at how far you can throw it and the places to put it. Two of my favorite places to place it are the big door at the hangar and the bathroom area. You can throw it through the opening between the roof and the wall. The same opening I throw grenades through. This allows you to get guys who are hiding on the other side. Then when I'm in the Office Block I will throw it through the bars towards the door that leads into the bathroom. Also if you are brave enough, when the enemy gets jammed in an area straff in and throw some C4 towards them then straff out and detonate.
