Re: JALALABAD tips for MEC
Love this map infantry only [23 W, 8 L]. US team needs a good squad of scouts and medics to go up either (or both) perimeters. You'll bleed out if you go head to head, so the trick is to draw them off their line to soften up the frontline and get a second spawn going to thin the MEC out on multiple fronts.
If you go right, you can sneak up thru the hillsides and have a pretty good view of the first flag. Best thing to do is slip past down to the Fountain though... most MEC dont even think to check that ridgeline when they spawn in. Theres a building at the 2nd flag where you can cap from the rooftop. Then make a break for the Hotel. The MEC team will probably retake Fountain if you dont have others spawn in there, but you're already capping in the backfield as they pause to take the first one back.
If you go left, you can get most of the way to the water untouched even if they send anybody over there to defend. You have to hide your SL in some rocks or its a long freaking run to get back if he's down. Take out their medics first! If you can slip through (a little smoke never hurts), get up into the Market and bury an SL in a random building until you have a 2nd spawn point.
Either way, having a backfield spawn is the key because most MEC players understand that you have a choice of any other flag next and most wont hesitate to take the fight to the rear which lets your lone wolves cap the road points easier.
On MEC, key is preventing any of the above from happening because the line will quickly collapse if you miss any Americans getting through. Get a SL (support kit) heading to the waterway off the bat and bring your own medics and scouts. The pier on your side is a good place to hide your SL and mow em down as they cross the water. If you take the line too far in, thats farther you got to come back when you die and anyways - let em run farther with the bleed on! You can always fall back to defend Junkyard if nobody comes up, or flank the first flag if its lost.
