Either that flag needs to be neutral (which I think it does like Snake suggests regardless) or the USMC need another direction to attack from. A parachute spawn could aid their assault from the river. Maybe the fog could be increased as well so that things coming over the river can't be seen until much later.
Well one thing I think would help would be to widen the map limits

I think that what DICE really should do is not alter the current flags, but add another, neutral flag on the islands just south of the Market. That way the Marines could take that point with the RIBs, the APCs could still be used to strong-point market, and the amphibious assault remains intact but now the Marines can land easier.
Ya know what, that could work - but also on the island due east of the Harbour HQ (northern-most flag). If that island was opened up, the US could land their boats there and push over on the land.
This would bring in squad leaders as mobile spawn points, and by pushing out the map boundary, would enable them to just about do it under cover of fog from the Temple flag.

A neutral flag wont work, if the US fail to get there first or lose that flag you are straight back to square one. Something has to be changed to make it possible for the US to get to the beach. A blackhawk, a wider map, a secondary uncap (like sharqi) to attack from multiple directions, or a combination of them all.
Very true - same applies to Dalian and even Oman to an extent. However, once the US get a flag or two, if they have armour spawning there, it shouldn't be a problem unlike on Dalian where they get dominated by helis/jets.
