With a shipping container placed beside A site, Cache can end with intense firefights where members of the attacking team try to stall for time, hiding behind the shipping container. The catwalk behind B is often a good place to camp. A's bomb site is also close-quarter battles, so you may want to stock up on grena

It was a busy November for me and I had little time to play games outside of Modern Warfare 3 .
