Control Mode has exposed why the community ruins objective base modes.

I was so stoked for this mode when it first dropped only to be let down by 80% - 90% of the community...at least on my ps4 servers. I could complain about the matchmaking, or little bugs, or sound issues, or server issues, but none of that is the main problem IMO

It has been 3 weeks of endless games where...NO ONE PLAYED THE OBJECTIVE!!! lmao 

I really don't understand that either. People have been screaming for an objective based mode for some time now, and now that we have one, no one knows what that term "object based" means. Should just call it "Zone B Mode" cus that's all it is most games.

Two teams ignorantly battling over one zone. And I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that most players just try to capture Zone B and that's all, or the fact that they sit outside of the zone not even attempting to go inside and capture it.

I just had a game today on Olympus where the opponent had control of Zone B, and there were 3-4 teammates on the outside of the building fighting, so I said F it and stimmed into the building expecting some opponents there to challenge me, but not a soul was in there....meaning I had 3-4 teammates defending the Labs building while still allowing the opponents to get points from a captured zone 🤦‍♂️

  • Sometimes it gets frustrating sure, but first, I don't think this is local to Apex.  People do kill stuff without ever going for the flag in every CTF I've played.

    Second, it really only takes a couple of people to be objective minded, if you pick a defensive characters (which are so trashed in normal BR by Respawn).

    Being aware of when to turn zones by the objective people is critical, though.  I recommend a Wattson (which the word is out on) or a Caustic (which is a better character for making a cut off at the zone outside the enemy base, though this shouldn't be a primary plan.

  • People will eventually get better at the mode once Control comes back this season or be permanent next season just like comparing the early days of Apex and the now sweat filled lobbies 90% of the time. Then once people get better, the community will then complain and rant (probably including me lol) that why is this side mode now so sweaty and that we should add another casual mode. 🤣 🔮 Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely get the frustration of people forcing to push objective B dying repetitively while you’re be going to A/C all alone. 

  • People have developed a nasty habit on Barometer. They go up and down the ziplines, camping upstairs, despite capturing B is done downstairs, which the other team holds.

  • @CrazieAtesPS4 people want to have fun killing other players.
    Honestly this goes ages back in BF2 where people stack packs throwing to each other nades hoping to get kills.
