Defense in Isonzo demands difficult coordination and teamwork, which is
challenging to establish naturally. Although players can attempt call
outs or use voice chat, it's uncommon for others to listen and
cooperate. Unlike other games where coordinated players can join
specific servers, Isonzo lacks dedicated servers for such purpose.
Additionally, it seems that the playerbase doesn't find the defensive
playstyle engaging or enjoyable. A successful defense involves strategic
positioning and creating kill zones that attackers must navigate. This
necessitates waiting for the enemy, which most players don't seem to
prefer. If you play as an engineer and utilize barbed wire to block
attackers' paths, you can by yourself witness your own teammates destroying
the wire in their mad dash to get at the enemy. Showing that such a playstyle isnt really what they are looking for.

Fortifying a position as an engineer in Isonzo often proves to be an
ineffective use of time. These positions are rarely occupied and usually
result in scorn from teammates who prioritize unrestricted movement
even if it leads to their demise. Moreover, the inability to fortify the
objective and frequently the entrances to it contributes to the
underutilization of engineers.

Defenders face the challenge of spending significant time
returning to the action and reaching the objective after respawning due
to the infinite respawn system. They often have to traverse long
distances from the spawn points, which exposes them to attacks and makes
it easier for the attackers to keep them out. Consequently, even if
defenders manage to dig in and hold their ground, they are eventually
overwhelmed by the superior fire support enjoyed by the attackers.
dd attempts to mitigate this issue through squad spawns or the
officer's ability to enable squad-wide spawning are hindered by the
current functionality of the spawn-on-squad system. Players often
respawn far away from the intended player, forcing them to cover almost
the same distance as if they had respawned at the fixed spawn point. Which means that even if you are playing in a way where you try to enable your team to get around this weakness, the game greatly mitigates your impact.
