I've noticed that as well with certain custom maps. There's a predictable series (which is a pain when it means your intel and/or tent spawn in the water repeatedly) of locations for intel.

hey i have a question... something i noticed in my custom maps is that the intel and cp always seem to spawn in the same place. When I say the "same place" I mean as the game progresses and intel is capped then it appears in different places but always the <e>same different places. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Is it using a fake random seed based on the map to place the intel and cp? This would work fine on a generated map but seems less so on custom servers.
