I have been trying to maximise my success in Conquest recently.
Generally I try to rush the centre and get the middle point. Central map control is important, but sometimes my team does not make use of the advantage of central control, and continues to push the points on the flank despite those points being controlled.
How do you try to win the game in such a situation? Do you try and control the point by yourself, or join your team and rely on safety in numbers?
It is always hard to predict where your team mates go, but I try to maintain control of points that are undefended. You can only do so by yourself without support for so long.
So, is it worth the personal risk to get your squad wiped defending a point that your team is not interested in? Or is it better to join the rest of your team and maintain control of the point your team is focusing on?

one words CAMPING the teamwork actually leaves something to be desired
Ps large group are perfect for enemy cas and arty or mortar expecially in conquest if you want help build rally point in safe location and conquer the command post withaut defense become water do all and do nothing
me and the people i play with tend to get rally point close to the objectives to get them out, then we just try to defend our 2 points while a 3rd goes get the other point

Side note at first I mostly play Normandy so I am not sure if the tactics are sound for any other campaign.
For me there are two different conquest styles and I have two different ways of playing both map types.
In type 1 map I make sure I construct a safe rally point on one of the stars and communicate with my team to make on the other side. This gives an even spread of rally points and enables the team to also have an even spread to the points they are needed.
I make sure the rally is up all the time, if its gone first prio is get it back up. I send my squads to the most crowded place. I feel they are the safest on that spot with a lot of teammates around them. This also gives the team an incentive to move away from the point because it is too crowded.
I am running on the red line left to right right to left. Clearing rally points and killing anyone that I come across sowing as much confusion and distraction as I can. Just be a demon that they hate. If I die I have my bots on the point I left them and keep doing the same thing with the next guy. If at any moment I notice a bot die or see my teammates dwindle on the point I have my bots. I instantly jump back and check what is up and deal with the enemy there.
In type 2 map (picture can be turned 180 degrees for other maps) out of experience most players will go to the side with one point. I always go to the lane with two cap points. I dont build an initial rally point but feel the field first. I cap A then go to C, if there is a lot of enemies there and die I build a spawn at the right side star. This will ensure that we will keep that one point and have superior numbers there. Then go back left and cap the point close to base spawn and keep fighting there. Trying to kill a rally if they build it. With the closer spawn we have right side and 1st left side for us and if it goes well we can push C if not we should still have 2 points.
If initally there are not a lot of enemies at C I build a spawn at left side star and ensure we spawn closer to that point and have both points left under control and defend it. Gives us two points and B is up to the team and a 50/50.
Swamp is type 2 but I play it different. I build a rally at the edge of the map above A and only fight for A. B is 50/50 and C is close to our spawn. If you can keep the rally and stop them building a rally near C you usually win.
For me personally its always worth the risk. Usually I can kill more than I am worth when defending. Then its always a win if you kill 2 to 1 and respawn.
I hope my team uses the rally points I make but I plan my games of conquest around my own preffered playstyle and hope the team supports when needed.
Thank you for asking the question, was quite interesting to reflect on my playstyle for conquest maps. Some of the things where automatic and I did not realise I almost always do them.
