(Note: this is an effort for a collaboration based map guide. All I am doing is to start the thread and include an overhead map with callouts. Hopefully other bros can chime in by posting their insights using the callouts, and organically grow this thread into a useful discussion). Hardpoint locations:

North Red and South Red are not optimal IMO. At North Red there are some cables lying around if I'm not mistaken. So maybe Cables and Red are more distinct callouts.

IMHO this map has the most interesting B-Dom design. Due to the dynamic nature of various cargo being lifted / dropped around B-Dom, the design added temporal element into strategies of how to cap B, the first in CoD's history if I am not mistaken.

I dislike that map.
1. A couple of “obvious sniping spots” where some idiots camp leveling up sniper rifles every game – boring. If they kill me – frustrating, if I kill – no glory and I lose my time. Lose-lose situation.
2. B-flag is a nightmare if weak teammates. I hate: capturing B, being killed just 1sec after that, respawning far away from B and … as my teammates do not defend B it is lost fast before I even get there again.
Tac insertion won’t help a lot vs 3 opponents. – On Hijacked even if my teammates do not play the objective, they approach B-flag as they have no other choice (!) and thus help me to clear it and capture.
On Cargo random teammates camp / move far away from B as they CAN. From my perspective DOM on Cargo = boring game, usually lost.

Agreed. Strong teamwork is essential on this map for Domination.
IMHO it is not a great sniping map. All sniper nests are well known and there are numerous flanking routes to get to them. Also sniper scope's sight advantage is not overwhelming as the lengths of line-of-sights are not very long. Target Finder seems to be more effective.

Yeah this is a map for target finder idiots in team games.
I've played it plenty in FFA, and seems like the only ways to play it are to do little patrols of Orange and Blue. Not very fun. Sometimes you can get people to converge at the Office, but that's not really any more fun. Anyway, wherever the action is happening it just feels like you can't really get away even if you wanted. If you try to run to another section of the map, chances are someone will just spawn right behind you and shoot you in the back. Frustrating map for FFA.

You seem to play a fair amount of FFA considering how much you apparently hate it.

Interesting map, but can be frustrating. If your guys aren't in Office, then expect the bad guys to be. Ditto for Orange/Blue Top.
Watch that Dish area carefully. There's a narrow path around it on the south side that seems to draw campers too.

It's one of those maps that have success KDR wise, but not SPM wise...
I'll go 11-2, but only have a SPM in the 100ish

Pretty easy B Flag rush if you have snipers on your team watching the snipe spots.
As an SMG user, I definitely find myself gravitating towards Orange and Blue. Both have multiple ways up to the camp zones on top, so flanking is relatively easy. The only trouble is if the Office is occupied, you can't go towards the center near Blue.

Decent map. You can actually move forward on this map.
(As opposed to walking backwards, because you KNOW enemies WILL come from behind every 3 seconds)
