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...

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.
@AngrySquid270 Fast caps in past Battlefield titles went with being able to spawn on the flag, and not in 100-200m distance from the capture area. So the slow captures go with the terrain.
And since most players capture alone and not in squads, that makes solo capturing especially tedious.
