Overview¶
Yemen is an asymmetrical map that takes place in a small town on an island featured in one of the campaign missions. One team will spawn in the central west portion [West Base] of the map whilst the second team spawns in the southeast corner [Southeast Base]. To the Northwest of the [Southeast Base] is a two story building [Eastern House] you can enter (Note there is also a scaffolding around the outside of the house you can use to move around the house and a path down below the house along the coastline). Directly to the West of the startpoint is an open building with some exposed electrical wiring in a hole in the wall inside [Fuse Building].From the [Southeast Base] itself and on the opposite side of the street from the [Clifftop house] and just to the south of the [Fuse Building] are a pair of dirt paths [Eastern Path] and [Southern Path] leading around the outside of the map. Following the [Eastern Path] to the north will see you move through a narrow dirt passageway, a courtyard full of rocks and a building [North House] at the end. Below this house is a metal walkway across a cliff. On the other side you will find a small building we can enter to the left for a vantage point [Statue House] and outside a statue in a square. The [Southern Path] likewise runs along narrow dirt paths. At the far end it will lead into a small general store type building [Store]. In the centre of the map is a large crevasse. On the western edge of this is an enterable building [Carpet Store] providing a great view over the rest of the centre of the map. Below this is the [Central Bridge] linking the two roads on the east and the west of the map. Further North of this you will find stairs leading up to the [Fariha Market]. From the [West Base] you will find the [Fariha Market] building directly in front. Following the street to the left, when you reach the intersection, you can go left to enter the [Carpet Store] of through the arches on the right to enter the [Store]. Along the street to the left of the [West Base], you will find the [Statue Building] and the statue in the square outside.

Map Specific Tactics¶
Action Hot Spots
The main action area in the Yemen map are the streets around and buildings located near the large gap in the centre of the map.
A little lesser action occurs along the alternate routes bypassing the centre region of the map.
General Tips
This is a small map that contains a combination of long lines of sight in places for assault rifles and tight, close quarter combat in others ideal for a SMG/shotgun.
Due to its design, Yemen is a very good map for run and gun gameplay. Someone with a SMG and a lot of sprinting can do a lot of damage.
Sniping Positions
[Fuse Building] window: This spot will give you a nice view down at the road below and as this street continues from the maps’ largest hotspot that means there will be a bit of foot traffic and this will give you the jump on anyone who comes round the corner.
[North Building] second floor: This area give you two vantage points covering the [Statue] area to the west and the dirt path coming from the [Eastern House].
Balcony at the back of the [Fariha Market] building: This balcony provides a great view over the [Central Bridge] and the entry to the [Carpet Store] and the majority of the main hot spot on the map.
