Cass has made this point several times.
It is just not one area of one map, but multiple areas spread across maps.
Many objectives reinforce CQC game play, which plays to the strength of CQC roles, and prevents others from being more viable on the battlefield.
To give another example, on Manus Peak, to prevent Objective A from being sniped right at the beginning of battle (and rightfully so), they added barriers right at the objective, instead of around the points near the opposing side spawn where that sniping takes place.
As a result, this limits that objective to CQC even if the long range defense/offense of that objective were from more reasonable locations.

I agree, but I would say a majority of objectives fit the description.
Many are enclosed in buildings, even when not within cities on a 5 point map.
Pretty much all city objectives are CQC.
If they are somewhat open, they are sometimes in depressions that also enforce CQC.
There really aren't a lot of objectives open enough to support mid and long range weaponry and tactics.

That's what keeps this map in check, IMO. My first response to this was to think sarcastically: GÇ£We still get Orbitals?GÇ¥ But you do actually make a good point. I had not really considered Orbitals when I made the suggestion. I do believe the code is still in place for OB's to happen in pubs. Can't be sure though. 
I look forward to the many OB options Rattati was discussing.
It will fix at least some problems.

I would also vote for a change in location for the Supply Depot rather than complete removal.
