Vacant

Vacant is a small map that is based in an abandoned office. Shotguns and SMGs are generally favoured, but LMGs and Assault rifles can prove useful in the outdoor sections of the map. Though the map is roughly half indoors and half outdoors, almost all of the combat occurs indoors. Because of this, helicopters are nearly pointless on this level. However, due to holes in the ceiling of the warehouse on the left-most side, and the small open area in the center, a well placed air strike can easily kill unsuspecting members of the other team. Be very careful when running through the hallways. Usually the hallways are literally exploding with all the grenades being drop from martyrdom and just thrown grenades. Also this map is very useful for getting the multi-RPG challenge, multi grenade challenge, and pretty much anyother challenge having to do with explosives and a lot of people because of the closeness of the hallways. Woodland or digital camouflage is often preferred.

Tips

 * The hallway next to the rooms where an RPD and M1014 can be found always have people in the window ready to kill you.
 * The bathroom is a hotspot area, it is not worth going there unless you want to die.
 * At about 2 mins into the game and onwards, the warehouse and loading bay and area near the shipping crates and tanks become the focus points for the match (especially in Team Deathmatch)
 * If you get an airstrike, place it either outside or in the hallways with holes in the roof, as alot of the fight also goes on in the hallways near the windows.

Trivia

 * This map, and Shipment, are thought to be located close to Prypiat, Ukraine, where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power station's workers lived. This is because the 1980s style Ukrainian tower blocks can be seen in the distance. This is strange, because flat screen computer screens can be seen in the office.

Ghost Rumors
There have been multiple rumors concerning what is called the "Ghost of Vacant", which is assumed to take the form of a random player and walks in the form of a zombie. The zombie is indestructible and seems to skip around the map. This is however fake as in the Youtube video that depicts it the clock skips and there is a well known glitch to get the characters to skip around the map.
