Yemen

Explore the asymmetrical Yemen map in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Learn about spawn points, key buildings like the Eastern House and Fariha Market, and objective locations for Capture the Flag, Demolition, Domination, Hardpoint, and Headquarters.

Alright, let's break down the Yemen map in Black Ops II. This place is pretty unique because it's asymmetrical, meaning the two teams spawn in totally different spots. One team kicks things off in the central west area, which we'll call the [West Base], and the other starts way over in the southeast corner, the [Southeast Base].

You'll find a couple of key buildings right off the bat. Northwest of the [Southeast Base] is a two-story joint called the [Eastern House]. You can actually go inside this one, and there's also some scaffolding on the outside if you want to get around that way. Plus, there's a path down by the coastline below it. A bit west of the [Southeast Base] startpoint, there's an open building with some exposed electrical wiring inside – that's the [Fuse Building].

If you're coming from the [Southeast Base], you'll see a couple of dirt paths leading around the map's exterior. The [Eastern Path] heads north, taking you through a narrow passage, a courtyard filled with rocks, and ends at a building called the [North House]. Below that house, there's a metal walkway across a cliff. On the other side, you can duck into a small building for a good vantage point – that's the [Statue House], and there's a statue in the square right outside it. The [Southern Path] also follows narrow dirt tracks and eventually leads into a small general store, the [Store].

Right in the middle of the map, there's a big crevasse. On the western edge of this, you can get into a building called the [Carpet Store], which gives you a solid view of the rest of the central area. Below that, the [Central Bridge] connects the east and west roads. Further north, you'll find stairs going up to the [Fariha Market]. If you're spawning at the [West Base], the [Fariha Market] is pretty much straight ahead. Follow the street to the left from [West Base], and at the intersection, you can either go left into the [Carpet Store] or through the arches on the right to get into the [Store]. Back near the [West Base], along the street to the left, you'll find the [Statue Building] with the statue in the square right outside.
