What is it about Domination matches that people like so much? I personally hate Domination.
If I ever have all 4 gamemodes selected Domination will be what pops up about 90% of the time. I also noticed that over 90% of the time if I join a squad all that squad plays is Domination. It's to the point where I tend to ignore squad invites if I get the feeling Domination is the only thing that squad is going to play.
Acquisition and Skirmish are my top game modes to play.

It's faster than skirmish, but slower than ambush. Everyone clusterfuckers into a few locations all centered around the objective. Not a lot of reason to run around the map or split squads up. Just zerg rush zerg rush zerg rush.

Masochism. They love the punishment. They want to be submissive.
But yeah, I'm hating domination now. I don't even bother with capturing the objective anymore if it's a domination match. I just go around hacking installations.

Domination is well suited to playing alone or in small squads. The objective in clear and the need for coordination is limited. Action is likely to be centered on or near the objective or nearby spawn points. All of this makes it a popular game mode. |

I play with mostly Hispanic Peeps. Dom 100% of the time. IDK why. I prefer to play Acq or Ambush when solo now.

Because wait times are horrendous for others then after waiting for a match, I'm usually thrown into a match halfway done or done (especially skirm)
With Dom, its short wait times and I get freshly started matches. But honestly dude, Dom is not as fun as it used to be. There used to be awesome, action filled, tug of war matches that would give me a battle high, win or lose.

Zerg, not having to look for targets and the Stomp.
Personally, not a fan of Dom myself. If the Objective was in a different spot every so often it might be more interesting. I think it might work best as a raiding match for PC in its current iteration.

I still don't understand why Domination exists. It's a terribly designed gamemode that does not deliver quality gameplay. I've asked this question.

It was okay back when people actually try, and on some bottle neck maps you still get that neat meat grinder effect. Of absolute defense meats relentless opposition. Most of the time though one guy in a 80hp scout suit hacks the objective within the first 10 seconds of the match and the opposing team just gives up. Never bothering to see if anyone was actually defending the objective. From there you have a long long wait for the match to be over.
That is what I hate about Dom matches, the timer for the MCC destruction is way to long, even if you hold the point the entire match. Skirm is at least faster if you hold all 4-5 points when the other team completely gives up.
But yeah the main reason Dom is so popular is because it's the only thing that q's up fast. It q's up fast because everyone does it... nice little feed back loop. Acquisition isn't as popular imo because one it's bugged with the shifting redlines glitch and two hacking it's objectives doesn't count towards the daily missions. |

I've come to realize Dom is actually the worst game type.
It's the least balanced, the points are all in such defensive locations, meaning whoever gets there first and gets links in are almost impossible to force out.
Acquisition makes for much better back-and-forth games... if you can find a match

one day I get all doms (the day I need the hacking primary objectives mission)
next day I get all skirms (when I dont need or want to play it after having to grind FW to complete the earlier missions)

Dom is beyond garbage.
There are times I have to play it if I feel like playing Dust, but I usually end up leaving the battle. I'm not going to wait through a two minute redline match if I'm on either side. |

But the OP asks a valid question, why play Domination if you aren't taking your ass to the point immediately and prepared to respawn 3 or 4 times right off the bat to take/hold the point? |

I like variety. I think it would be best to remove the ability to select the game mode, just make it random. This would improve matchmaking as well. |

That would never work, people would quit matches in droves if it was a mode they didn't like or need. Not to mention make some missions harder since acquisition and ambush matches don't have objectives to hack, you can't get vehicle kill assist in ambush etc.
I wouldn't mind a random game mode option in addition to the regular selection but to motivate people to play they would have to give you some kind of bonus earnings from using the random feature.
Over all I think they need to drastically redesign a lot of the levels, especially in ambush and dom. The playable map space in a lot of maps is huge, in many you can be more than 600m away from the nearest objective. There is no point to that empty wasteland cluttering the outer parts of the map. I think the red zone should be right up on the objectives, within 100m or so BUT to make red zone snipers and rushers obsolete make a big wall or something blocking LoS. Or just do something like the MCC now where there is an invisible shield to prevent you from firing into or out of the red zone.
I would also love to see a more spread out deployment plan. IN many maps you have the MCC and like 2-3 ground spawns. Unfortunately they all happen to be in roughly the same place and there is usually one point closest to the objective and the rest are in a line behind it. Making a red line situation a lot harder since the team knows the direction the team has to pretty much come from. If you imagined a map to be a square I would say put two red zones for each team on opposite sides of the square. That way you can come from the top and bottom, or left and right sides. Allowing you to back stab the other team if they try to red line you on one side or just force them to divide their forces more. |

Not everyone enjoys running 500m to a point that's been hacked..In dom there is only one objective for me to worry about so it's easy to solo

Because scrub spam, zerg heavy/logi, spam mass driver no skill required, roof top camp, no strategy, pub star 21 mass driver kills camping point.
Basically it requires no thinking. Skirmish requires performance, tactics, comms, and team work. In dom logis can hide in the point, and rep heavy spam for 8k + wp scrublord style.
Acquisition requires teamwork, links lol, and ya know.... everything else besides the mass driver from 60 meters away lol! (Seriously wondering why that weapon has absolutely no falloff?)
Even ambush requires some shooting skill.... and 4 logis repping your officer laser.... smh?!
Why spec into proficiency, equipment, or upgrades when you have Dom, remotes, and mass driver+jumpy mod? HELLO insta-win 1v10 from 10 meters in the air in my min speed/jump no scope splash hit detection error special lmao!
So yeah, Dom is great!

I agree. I used to love playing Domination because it was action packed and it seemed like most of the people on your team and the enemy team would make a real effort to secure the win. It's not like that for me anymore.
A lot of times when I queue Domination solo I will make a mad dash for the objective, secure it, post up for a little bit and come to the realization that no one else on my team is bothering to make a move towards the objective. After I inevitably die I check out the map to see where I should spawn and I'll notice all my teammates moving in all directions on the map except for the direction of the objective.
It's almost like most of the people I am teamed up with prioritize positioning themselves for kills over actually securing and holding the objective. |
