THESE ARE MY OPINIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO PUT IT IN THE COMMENT'S SECTION DOWN BELOW:

Zone Control is one of the newest gamemodes in the newest DLC, The Taken King. This is basically simple, take control of all the zones, but the catch is that kills don't give you points, but only how many zones you control            (I believe it's every 5 seconds they put points). This game really takes critical thinking, as for people that want your K/D ratio up, this is a gamemode for you (I believe this is open until the weekly refresh). Here are my tips on playing this gamemode:

1.) Be Aggressive:

    Now that doesn't mean kill everybody & just start going to C/A zone (which ever you are starting at). It means push after getting B zone, because at that time, you start racking up points, & if you're pushing to C zone, they're bound to either collapse or give in. That doesn't mean to go straight to C though.

2.) Defend Zones/Ammo Crates:

     Since that there are no points for killing players, some players (either your team or opponents) might use this as an adavantage to pick & kill players to raise their K/D. Usually, they'll stick near ammo crates or places where you can easily snipe from far ranges. Taking either ammo crates will definetly force them to look somewhere else for ammo, which could lead to a lot of wrong places (unless the opponents knows this map very well).

3.) Movement:

      Anything can happen in 5 seconds (the time where they start racking up how many zones you have/opponent has), make sure you're quick to getting zones/defending zones, because many, quick people may just take it with you being very far from that zone.

4.) Strategize:

     Strategizing with your team will really help you. Usually you want people rushing to opponent's zone, but you want others to stay back & defend. You strategizing to make that plan better will not only make a higher chance of your team winning, but making your team better when playing in regular "Control".

Now those are some of the tips I can give you as of right know. If you guys have any other tips, comments, or questions, feel free to put it in the comment's section down below.
