You already get rewarded with more points per kill. If you don't cap more zones than the other team you lose already. This wouldn't really change people's playstyle.

  • It is still possible to win against a team with 2 caps if your team is better at getting kills (not talking about camping, I mean actively seeking kills). I've been in several games where that has happened on both sides. I'd much prefer people play the objectives, however saying it's not possible to win without it isn't always true.

  • While true, unfortunately I have never been a team good enough to do that. No big deal except I wish I could every now and again.

  • Of course it's possible. However, if winning is your main objective, you won't do that. You'll cap the zones. My point is, people don't capture the zones because they don't care about winning. They only care about kills. Adding points for capturing zones won't solve that.

  • Then edit your post, you say if you don't cap more you've lost already. That isn't true. Maybe you lost the point of the objectives, but that's a lot different than losing the game.

  • I don't need to edit the post. Anybody with any sense that has played control knows what I mean and not to take the statement completely literally. You're likely not going to win if you capture the zones. This OBVIOUS! However, it is possible to win. If I were to say at long range if you using an auto rifle against a scout rifle you've "already lost the fight," would you take me literally too? No you wouldn't. That would be silly.

  • Bad argument, and anyone with any sense knows your original statement is wrong and now you're just trying to cover yourself.

  • The thing is, It doesn't matter if I was wrong or right with that statement. It really has nothing to do with my argument. Whether it's really difficult to win only capping one zone or impossible, doesn't change my argument in the slightest, which is why I choose not to edit it.

  • That's why more people need to be encouraged to capture zones on an individual basis because it's normally the minority who will capture the zones to earn those increased points per kill

  • More points per cap wouldn't incentivize people to cap more zones since they already will lose if they don't capture zones in the current system.

  • Hmm maybe it's a case of the while system being reworked then, tbf they probably tried that with zone control

  • I think his point would be to encourage people to play the game type, rather than just going for kills.

  • Yeah basically to get more people to capture zones instead of leaving it to other players
