I'm all for triple capping against randoms and scrubs, But if i'm playing maybe a clan that is organised and plays the objectives or even a bunch of randoms doing well and the game is tight then I would prefer holding 2 flags. Sometimes triple capping can completely flip spawns and actually turn the game against you. Especially with the one sided spawns on some maps, When I play Mission I demand that we hold B and C, Not for killwhoring purposes just because it's pretty much impossible to win when you're stuck at A.

Some guys are just selfish and will cap flags regardless of whether they're actually helping the team or not.

Dom in this game is designed to give the lesser skilled players a chance to come back with the super sensitive spawn flipping. In past cods in dom you could have 2-3 people in their spawns and just completely ****, in this game if one person crosses that invisible line then the enemy team flips behind you capping your flags and killing you.

Sensitive spawns coupled with map design makes for closer games vs lesser skilled players if your just rushing their spawns like 99% of cod players do. For instance mission, the power flags would be c-b, dome a-b, interchange b-c, arkaden a-b, resistance a-b, village b-c, hardhat a-b. those are just example of the power sides on those maps and if you flip them its harder to recapture those flags giving the other team a chance to come back.

In past cods you could hold b and either a or c and win, in this game there are power sides on every map, you flip you give up the power position (map control).

i'm a capper, he's a capper, she's a capper, we're a capper, wouldn't you like to be a capper too?

i thought spawning was determined by your relation to enemy position not whether or not a flag is in your team's possession, but i'll defer to the experts

Controlling the enemy spawn is a good strategy.  When you triple cap you get shot in the back.

Some people have a spawn preferance.  Some spawn are better than others.  If C is the better spawn, and we have B and C, why go and mess with than.  Triple caps are more a team tactic any way.  It has a tendency to back fire with randoms. 

WHy would you want 3 objectives? You spread yourself too thin. That means you need 2 people on each flag, whereas if you have 2 flags you can have 3 people on each flag. 2 flags means you can concentrate your attention on the last flag's direction, and not get shot from behind,

My take on triple capping is this

1: If the other team really really sucks then fine triple cap.

2: If you need to come from behind to win triple cap ok

3: If the maps are easy to control all 3 points ala Seatown triple cap is ok

4: Unless aboslutley needed never ever triple cap Hardat or Village both those maps become a mess if you start spawn flipping and can turn an easy win into a loss very very quick. .

Spawns in domination are broken in this game anyway so it doesn't matter if you triple or double cap - they still spawn on your flags and in your spawn. For other games I get annoyed when people triple cap - sure the points move faster but the spawns get messed up and you have people spawning behind you and everywhere on the map - its easier to protect to flags when they have their spawn point then protecting 3 flags and them spawning everywhere.

It causes enemies to spawn everywhere. Not only allowing them to simply take one of the other flags, but also killing us from behind. Usually making the triple cap pointless anyways. If you think you will win the game faster, then go for it. But I prefer keeping two flags just so I know where the enemy will always be coming from. Plus it makes the game last just a bit longer so I can get more XP in the end.

I've always had mixed feelings about triple capping.  Most people want the enemy to have one (and only one) flag simply so that they can spawn trap.  This is wrong, as I see it as just taking advantage of an inherant flaw in the Domination game type.  There's not much that can be done to fix it, otherwise it wouldn't be Domination anymore.  It just comes with the game type.  Still, if you are gamer that cares about gaming ethics, your goal shouldn't be spawn trapping as a result of taking advantage of a flaw.

However, if my team has 2 flags and a decent sized lead, and I'm near the 1 enemy flag, I will run past it, and let them keep it.  Main reason?  less rage quits, and by extension less chance of a host migration, or even a host migration failure.  I've been on teams where the score is 160-20 and there absolutely no incentive to stay in the game, unless you literally only care about kills.  I do care about winning, but I like to leave the enemy chance with a fighting chance, a hope that keeps them from rage quitting.  When you only need 2 flags to win, and you have a big lead, do you really need the third?

I guess both are ethical points.  Do you try to spawn trap?  Or do you just try to beat them so hard that they don't want to play?  Idk, it's a grey area.  But if the score is close, i'm all for triple capping.
