[*]Having more people in the point no longer speeds up point capturing

Not sure about this one. Makes it easier to play with randos for sure, and be a power-obj player.

I was more dubious until I remembered that the teams are 4 player max. It probably is a problem to say you need to risk a team wipe to capture at full speed.

[*]Both teams start with point A/C already captured.

Good change. This gets rid of the "middleman" of teams capturing the first point and just delaying the start of the game by 10 seconds.

[*]No more "neutralizing" phase when capturing a point

indifferent. It does streamline it, will be interesting to see if it starts "cap laps".

[*]Scoring has been changed:
[*]Kills/captures = 1 Point
[*]Kills with 2 zones capped = 2 points
[*]Kills with all zones capped = 3 points

Looks like they're getting away from the CoD-style scoring?

The new system is interesting in that once a zone has been capped, it's always capped, even if team ownership changes. D1's Control often had Neutralized points which I'm not saying is bad but is quite a different game mechanic.

Good changes I think.

But, I'd rather they design the maps and spawn points so that A and C are not freebies, and ALL of the points are hard to defend and contentious.

All of the points WILL BE in contention... All this changes is that A and C start out with one team (which is no different really since 110% of the time, each team starts out by getting A and C respectively) so that you can run straight into the action and immediately start contesting any point.

On most maps in Destiny, B is the only point that is really up for grabs. A and C are near the spawn points and well defended for the most part. Sure you CAN take them, but having A+B or C+B is generally better.

What I meant was that I'd like to see B not be the main focus and center of the action…

There's some fun video in there of the new map, voidwalker and cap'n void too.
