How To Play Control!

Personal Service Announcement for Control, the Crucible game type similar to Slayer but with a hint of CTF. Okay, so what most of you know is when you play Control, you want to capture the zones, right? All three of them is your goal? Well that's stupid. I'm here to explain why that's stupid. [b][u]The Problem[/u][/b] In Control you and your team start out at either A or C, you capture the one in front of you and run to B. Usually the better idea is to split up into two teams of three, one to B and the other to home plate. Okay now you've captured Home and B, so what do you naturally do? You run to their Home zone. This is where you've made a mistake. Let's assume you and two others capture their Home. Oh but wait, what's that? They're capturing your Home and B? How did this happen? It happen because you captured their Home, they were homeless, they needed a place to spawn when you kicked them out, so they spawn at [u]your[/u] home base! [b][u]The Solution[/u][/b] Now that you've lost the match because of your silly mistake, you'll want to revise your plan. The problem was capturing all three zones, the fix is only capturing two of the zones. [b][u]A Situation[/u][/b] So you start another match of Control, this time you're thrown into Shores of Time. Your team has C and B, they have successfully captured two of the zones. Noticeably, these two zones are pretty close and easy to maintain, unlike A, which has 3 entrances and is a small enclosed room. This is what you want to achieve! Your team is on brink of winning the match and you're shooting to the top of the score board. Noteworthy observation: Enemy Team is only spawning at A and is likely giving C a hard time, however, this varies to players. [b][u]Which Zones Should I Cap?[/u][/b] [i]Twilight Gap[/i]~ B&A [i]Rusted Lands[/i]~ B&C or B&A (Either works due to how close the zones are, however B&A is recommended) [i]Exodus Blue[/i]~ B&C or B&A (Either works due to how close the zones are, however B&A is recommended) [i]First Light[/i]~ B&C [i]Anomaly[/i]~ B&C [i]Firebase Delphi[/i]~ B&A [i]Blind Watch[/i]~ B&C [i]Shores of Time[/i]~ B&C [b][u]Conclusion[/u][/b] Hopefully that cleared up how to play Control effectively. Too many times do I notice a team mate capture enemy home base and then suddenly our enemies are all over the place! And more often than not, we lose those matches. If this thread does well, I'll make another on how to destroy my strategy on each map. e.g. How to force the enemy team away from B&C on Shores of Time.
