...and I was the ONLY person on my team going for B. I finished the game with:
-a 2.2 kd
-one 10-kill streak
-one 5-kill streak
-SIX captures
And we STILL lost (just barely).
Guess how many captures my teammates had? All of them except one guy only had ONE! The flag we spawn at!
Bungie, you can't force people to play the objective, but here's what you [i]can[/i] do:
-Increase the amount of points gained from capturing an objective.
-Increase the amount of points gained from getting kills while you control zones.
Make a DRASTIC increase to the amount of points you get when you have 2 flags, versus just 1. Maybe then people will actually play CONTROL instead of Clash.
Sincerely,
A crippled Guardian (The carry is real.)
Edit: As several people have pointed out, many players don't care about the objective because there is no incentive to win. Since rewards are completely random, winning doesn't matter. First place means nothing, so many people feel like there is no reason to try.

this is the main reason since the IB I havent played sniperble. get in a game charge b solo. get killed as no one pushes with me. spawn back in run and stop in horror at 5, yes 5 people all aiming one path with snipers drawn. I laughed and left as there wasnt any point. They have ruined cruible flow with the shotgun nerfs. now people wont push flags and just wanna sit back and practice sniping. crucible was the only thing keeping me playing after my raid team left and then the last nerf has shut that down too. game is dying fast for me.
