Post: Playing the objective

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I think people fail to understand the objective.

Recently, I joined a lobby, and saw a few of my old friends in a full party (Ground war). The next few minutes are summarized with me scoring a 78-3 assault MOAB, but with a match loss. afterwards, I have my whole team and the other team yelling at me, because I didn't cap any flags - I was in an ac130 for half the match, and they couldn't grab a flag while everyone was dead. I was being told (by everyone) that domination wasn't for me.

My question to you:
What do you think is the objective? A lot of people criticize you for not capping any flags, and being a killwhore, but I really don't think they know how dom works.

Enemies defend flags-I kill enemies-no one hops on flag?

well sometimes teammates are just hopeless

a loss with 115 kills on specialist running around killing people every few seconds of the game while capping a few flags =\

unless you were camping for those killstreaks at the start of the game providing no help for your team whatsoever, then it's definitely not your fault. just tell your teammates it's their fault for sucking so much :dumb:

Damn dude. That's stupid., but basically, that's always my team. highest prestige in the lobby usually gets me lower prestige partners :( (or splitscreeners)

things like this are why i believe win/loss ratios are irrelevant
anyone can get a high w/l if they played in a full party all the time, or even just play only infected, doesn't have much to do with the player you are

3 types of players in objective gamemodes.

Slayer - kills people
Support - Supports the slayer and objective player , goes into slayer mode and helps takes flags with the objective player.
Objective player - Sole job is jumping on flags or bombs

Good players can change their playstyle based on what going on in that game. In other words jumping on flags when you need too and killing people when you need too.
If you watch me play your notice my playstyle changes based on what going on. IF i know my team needs support at B i hang around B. If i need to rush their spawn and kill them i do that as people take a flag etc
Of course some people just do pure slayer won't change from that just going for kills. Most slayers are bad and find it hard to change their playstyle.

Most players fail to understand any of that and just go with the slayer route when the game makes that the best option. Jumping on flags is deadly far too easy to die and little to no reward for doing it.
I don't blame people when the gameplay mechanics mean that the easy way to play the game.

In order to win at dom you need to take 2 flags just spawn camp in the last flag.

People fail to realize that being able to maintain 2 flags is the main key to winning in Domination at least.

If you can get kills you can usually cap flags. If you can get 70 kills then there is no reason your team shouldn't be able to cap flags and dominate. The people who can't get very minute kills always find a reason to hate. Killwhoring is ok as long as it's helping the team. And if you're playing randoms the odds of them getting more than 25 kills is slim so they should be capping flags and shooting air support because what else can they do?

The funniest guys are the ones losing 180-40 yet still bunching up getting killed for a meaningless flag.


Running around like morons ?
But yea i do agree with your point. Hell a reason why i drop my killstreaks on flags being taken to help protect them.

You get a point towards your killstreak with every capture. Why not get you ac130 run to opponents base lay on it and open up your ac130 and protect yourself with it? If you dont capture bases and play objective games you a useless to the team imo.

In Domination you only need two flags so you don't need to keep capturing if ypu can defend. A guy who can keep killing the enemy is very valuable. He helps clear objectives. I like guys who can get kills and help with flags. However especially with randoms some guus aren't very good so outside of shooting down air support, calling in Support killstreaks all thwy can do is capture flags.

True. Its easy to hold two flags when with a team but with noobs its different. If im by myself and we are winning I will simply protect one of my flags. If we are losing I will continue to capture flags until we get the lead. Killwhore while winning, cap bases while losing. Its simple logic. Happy
