Nah, bc conquest point don’t change
I have in mind like the King of the Hill of Halo 3 BTB, of course with some modification.

Then it’s invasion.
Single point that moves (though only in one direction).

Or confrontation. This fits better.

Yeah but confrontation is more slow and the map more and more larger, King of the hill would be played in conquest map with only one point that change every time.
Considering the problem with conquest as far i have understand is the slow pace, we could exchange them.
You could have a very adrenalinic gameplay where you need to move continuously, and it could bring some tactic in trying to understand where the next point will be to build construction and a rally nearby.

Ok
Personally I’m not sold on that but maybe others will enjoy it.

I’d say the main problem are short matches and bad exp/min ratio.

Unless you are a fortune teller and can predict RNG, I don’t see this happening.

Mhh, yeah you right
I guess just bulding rally in the whole map is a better strat, but that’s ok whatever bc destroying rally will be the most important thing to do for everyone. A rally war where you have the whole map at disposition for both team. I kinda like the idea.

at this point, i am convinced everything is better than conquest. conquest requires perfect teamwork to be enjoyable. without - its just dumbed down running around and wasting time…but the enlisted playerbase doesnt know what teamwork is and DF doesnt help with that since we weekly read how people want more communication methods but the game doesnt offer them, especially not on consoles.
this is also another reason that the game needs map/game mode choosing, otherwise large numbers of new players will be instantly driven away by being forced to play bs maps/game modes.

That would basically be H&G encounter.
Not a popular game mode because most battles turned into stomping and spawn camping.

a multiple stage king of the hill, like in arma could work - one very big circle that stays the same + one small center circle that moves around that gives a 2x multiplier for capturing.

resulting in this type of gameplay:

-outside of the circle: people hunt for rallies and flank for tanks shooting into the objective
-inside of the main circle: people constantly apply pressure towards the center of the objective
-small slowly moving bonus circle: people hold this point and try to push off invaders.

so yeah, sounds like fun, however the number one thing that speaks against this game mode is squad set up -
sniper squads with their smaller troop count would be even less effective than they are right now, while for once Trooper squads would be more effective than Assault squads.

On the contrary I think the snipers could shine in this mode, because it is true that you need big teams to cover the area. However, snipers could serve as a support team in an above elevated position and more effectively thin out the enemies in the area who are fighting to capture it( of course we need well placed cap point for this), anyway…I don’t care to much about sniper :rofl:. And they can be stationary unlike invasion and confrontation
You will always have players who choose not to go to the capture zone.
Btw, the hill in Arma change position? If yes completely by appear in another spot or it just move around the map?
In Halo the hill have a timer and in the last 10 second the game notifies you where the next zone will be.

Everything better than conquest? What about conquest bastard brother Assault? I usually can carry my team to victory on a conquest, assault however are my most common defeats no matter if I have 4x the kills of the second place all on Infantry pushing the objectives (happened just 2 days ago).

assault and train mode similarly bad to conquest, i put these 3 trash modes in the same bin usually.
