What is the strategy for Rusted Lands? (Destiny)

My gut feeling is that A is worse to be in if the other team holds both B and C, because you can at least branch out in those ruins when attacking B from C.

I'm inclined to agree with you because of that balcony over B on the C side, plus the sniper's alley going from B to A; but I've lost numerous games in that position as well. Here's a great example from reddit of a team that appears to be crushing while holding B and C nearly the entire game (the excellent play of the poster may be masking for what looks like one player dropping, but it appears they play well and the game is close). The cost of holding B just ends up being too high for this team, I think; they were constantly nuked down at B, and didn't get the better of trades. But this definitely seems like the way to play this map, so why does it always end up being so close?

I really don't get the meta for this map.
