When I'm playing, a team will take over the target, and once the target is finished, and another one pops up, it's instantly being taken by the opposing team.
Does anyone else have this happen, too?

Yeah, I'm getting the impression that spawn points were the problem.
They need to move them around, and make them more equally distanced from the DZ.

It caused by poor map design and spawn points.
Put it simply the maps was not made for dropzone. COD series has tried to come up with a formula that means most gamemodes fit into the map design. (May post up that forumla if people want)
Flow of traffic is different in dropzone vs the other gamemodes.
Good example of too many gamemodes vs what the map was built for.

If you play enough your notice something like it on other gamemodes. One side gets the advantage over the other shorter times to certain points etc.

Only reason why i don't like the idea of community play lists or loads of gamemodes without a complete redesign of the map for that mode.

Well done for noticing it Winky Winky
Why i don't play dropzone

This is the exact reason why I only play DZ on my secondary account.

I'm the kind of guy that doesn't care if I win or lose in those situations. I only play DZ because people who play that sorta suck. They can't get high killstreaks in normal lobbies so they go into DZ.

With that being said, it's really a gun ranking game mode to me. I don't care for the killstreaks all the time.

This is why smart people memorize the DZ spawns and it's corresponding orders and go to the next one when there's only 5-15 secs left on the current one.

That's what I do. Since the Zones are in a specific order it makes being in the right place at the right time very easy.

People like myself, which play ALOT of DZ, know the locations. Therefore, if I'm close by, I wait for the location to spawn on me.

when the game mode first came out I quickly noticed the flags spawn in the same order, so i quickly could be at the next flag spawn straight after the other one :fyea:
