What do you Control, in Control? (Crucible)

Um? Zones A, B and C? it's called Control, duh.

Zones A and B, or C and B. Only triple cap when your ahead by allot.

I don't capture zones because I forgot to select Clash.

The correct answer is #2. Despite your urge to capture all of the zones, it's a far more effective strategy to control the zones one at a time and then stack them one by one. The game mode is called Control, not Capture. It's not about capturing zones, it's about "controlling" the area around the zones. Why? When you own A and B, the game will always spawn enemy players near C. If you occupy the area near C that the game is trying to spawn the player in, it will find another spot with no players. If everyone pushes into C, the game starts spawning the enemy at A. Then you lose A, which is called spawn flipping. That's bad because you can lose the advantage of certain areas of the map. For instance, on Mercury you want to control the outside and fight with the sun at you back making it harder for the enemy to see you. To do this you have to own A and fight for B. If you push into C once all the visible enemy players are down? They will start to spawn at A and then you lose the advantage of the sun. Not to mention the choke point. If you stay in your area while the enemy spawns, it becomes a lot more predictable. You can often force the other team to play like lemmings and walk right into choke points, giving you the opportunity to take a large lead. I understand that waiting in your zone for the enemy to come back isn't all that fun but, it works if you want to win. Control the map, push the enemy back and win. Please consider this when playing control or Iron Banner. Your random team mates will appreciate it. P.S. Please wait as long as you can you pick up heavy ammo. Some of us are trying to complete that bounty too... Thanks.

  • I like to flank a lot. If my team is getting whooped, I'll grab a different CP just to hope changing things up will help. In general ofc you're just gonna have two CPs... But without mics, and therefore communication, it is always going to be random what you end up doing in control. More people need mics. End of story.

  • I'm more of a support guy. I mean I'll cap the zone when I'm alone and no one is around but if I see my motion tracker I will usually stop capturing the zone to handle them. The zones make you sitting ducks. I'll provide cover fire for my teammates when they capture a zone but I seldom capture it on my own.

  • What do I control? I control the other team. Every objective type requires slayers. I'm a slayer. I'll help cap when it's convenient and close, but I'm not gonna run half way across the map to re-cap B. I have teammates to do that while I keep the enemy from pushing in.

    • Good advice re control not capture. Your points stack the more zones you hold so if u hold 2 you don't even need to kill enemies more than they kill you. The game swings away from you quickly if you overextend and give 2 zones to the enemy. Only excuses for taking heavy ammo when no one is near are A) you've waited ten seconds and your map is clear of friendlies B) you can see the enemy team approaching and you want to deny them the ammo
