I just want to ask , when an insurgency round starts , do all caches spawn on the map , or only those which insurgents have intel about.

Depends on what you call round start, it is bf2.GameStatus.Playing, or global g_reallyPlaying.

I mean when after 5 minutes briefing , both teams spawn at their own bases. Do all caches also spawn , or just those which insurgents know , or the Blufor team gets intel .
The thing im asking is for example : Can I search and destroy caches which INS don't have intel.

No you cannot. Caches that aren't known yet don't spawn.

what you can do is set up a FOB elsewhere and set up sentries to search the nearby buildings, many times you are able to destroy the cache before it's known.
it is pure luck, however splitting off from your team(not squad, team.) will give your taem a higher chance of winning.

Enough Intel gathered -> Cache spawns, mark changes to known for opfor -> 5 minutes -> Cache mark appears for blufor

ty very much , because i thought that all caches spawn at same time but we get intel for 1 or 2 of them . I mean I wasted time looking for "common" cache location that even opfor didn't get intel.

Back in the versions prior to 0.75(?) it was such that all caches were active at all times, so the blufor would end up just ignoring the active ones and hunting the most common cache locations, because on any given map at the time, there were perhaps only 50-100 different places that they spawned, so it was easy to pick up an easy 2-5 cache kills that were totally undefended.

It was pretty bad for gameplay, and so to focus the gameplay on actual objectives, it was decided to take the number of active caches down to 3, and now the 2 that you currently see.

Thanks to everyone . Cheers

those unknown caches won't spawn, i proved it right once when i went to the defend marker and saw no cache there.
