Why cant you just play the objective?

Seriously, all these people in IB just capping the gimme flag and then hardscoping lanes - you selfish scrubs! The idea is to win and all you care about is getting ****ing montage clips - how about capping a ****ing flag? The amount of people that finish even with 0 captures if unreal - WTF were you doing for 12 minutes?

  • I have won plenty of matches with only holding/capping 1 zone. Kills are what score points. The zones just add a modifier. If you b line and sit on the zones you will get sniped or shot gun charged. Best strategy I have seen is kill the other team and don't let them cap all 3 zones. Key is don't die (other team can't score) and kill the other team. On losing team I see too many ppl that have 8 or 9 caps and went 3-20. A dead person can't cap a zone or score.

  • To all the people saying its control you don't have to run around capping flags if you kill people just stahp. Obviously you're going to lose flags over the course of the match and OP is saying instead of standing back spawn sniping when it says B is being taken, go make sure it doesn't get taken lol. If you just wanna do kills go play clash or something. Because in control having control of the zones is key

  • Yeah, it's Def annoying. Unless you are are top tier player racking up 30+ kills a game you better be capping zones too. Otherwise you're just handicapping the team.

  • All you need to do is capture A and B then you CONTROL these zones by killing enemies.

  • The game is control not cap. How about defending 2 zones instead of running around just to cap 12 zones.

  • I do the objective less because my teamates never guard the probe or zone, so I take it upon myself to kill the enemy team AND do the objective, but I kill the enemy team more, and hey on the bright side the more of them you kill the less you'll lose zones or probes

  • I not here to defend anyone but without kills you can't win. But you can win without flags. Is it easy or often? No but i have been in a few games where we outslay and won with 1 flag

    Agree. Out of the 35 IB matches it took to reach rank 5, I captured the most zones 9 times.

  • A team of 6 flipping a flag is worth 600 points. That's the equivalent of 6 kills in less than 10 seconds. So yeah it's not just kills. What good are kills if they are worth 1/2 to 1/3 the points of the opposing team.

  • -blam!- that. The point is to control the flags and not run around like a chicken with your head cut off playing a game of capture the flag.

    • If my team is too scared to stop hardscoping and cap points, I just leave. Have fun losing guys!

    • There's a box of tissues for your salty tears, located at each of the 3 objectives in any Iron Banner control match. I will be positioned at a distance relatively far from you, in some cases this position happens to be on an objective. When I see your helmet croma through my scope, if I'm not took cranky, I just might feel a little sympathy when I wipe your tears with a high caliber sniper rifle round. In terms of tactics, I'm doing something that you call "taking the gimme points and hard scoping lanes" By most strategists, however, this is known more commonly as [b]Area Deniability[/b]. -I'm denying you access to areas, such as objectives- This, in normal people words, is called [b][u]DEFENSE[/u][/b] Either you're dead, or you're ducked behind cover planning your move. Do you know what that means? You're not taking that objective anymore. What you dismiss as "taking the gimme points" has just decreased the effectiveness of your fireteam by 16%. Cry about it all you want, it's defense. Just because I'm not physically taking a zone when I snipe down a lane, it doesn't mean I'm not playing the objective. I'm just playing the objective the same way that the snipers on your team allow you the opportunity to run and take objectives - Defense.

          • It's not 'capture' it's 'control', it would be so much easier for you if your teammates would just CONTROL your spawn and B, but there's always that one guy that had to capture their spawn for whatever reason.

          • I played a game in which one guy in my team ended with 14 captures, and another with 10. That game was mad. Spawns flipping every minute. Enemies spawning all around the map, surrounding you in all of sudden. Bad experience overall. There must be a balance between your caps and kills.

          • Bc people stop caring about the shity rank 3 package, or the ok rank 5. If you can get 10 times more loot by trying to make your character do a back flip at the end of the match than ranking up what the point. "But that backflip tho"
