...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.

Your edit says it all. No motivation to capture zones and just as little motivation to win. I love being in the process of capturing a zone with a teammate to be engaged by an enemy to realize my mate left as soon as red appeared on his radar in fear of hurting his k/d.
