Neutralizing CQ flags needs to be faster
I've talked about this places before, but as title says. The time it takes to go from enemy > neutral flag in Conquest is atrociously slow. For some reason the capture time from neutral > friendly ca...

@JD_W0LF I didn’t even realize it was doing that until last might when a buddy mentioned it, while we were slow capping a flag lol. I’d be ok if they made it connected to the losing team getting faster caps though, makes a lot of sense since the game has no darn idea how to balance a team. Would slow down a roll, I’ll have to think about that being a good thing or not haha! I’d never noticed it in V either though, and didn’t haunt the forums like now to read about all these secrets.
@ATFGunrI think the "catch up" mech. might still be in BFV, but they just made it not as egregious. Either way the current neutralize vs capture time in 2042 is terrible and way way too slow to neutralize vs capture.
100% agreed. This is a very unwelcome change.
I think the idea is to discourage solo capping and it's pretty effective at that. Particularly when you factor in the distance between flags.
Do I really want to take a 300m hike over to that empty flag where I'll have to defeat 3-4 defenders spawning in - perhaps multiple times - just for a chance to cap the flag? All the while hoping that an enemy vehicle doesn't decide to pay me a visit? Not really, but sometimes if your team needs flags it's the only logical strategic move. With the faster caps from past games you could generally count on just a couple defenders spawning in which was much more manageable.
If only I didn't care about winning I'd join my zerg of friendlies that insist on clustering around just 1 or 2 flags.
BF2042 really punishes people who break away from the pack. There's some good and bad in that. The good is that it encourages teamplay. The bad is that it encourages teams to bunch up into a strategically inefficient brainless mass frustrating those people who want to win.
Needs to be faster
