I rather enjoy the fact that people no longer spend all of their time camping the power weapon spawns or betraying the poor teammate who gets the sniper first.So instead of simply banning players who betray their team mates too much, we should eliminate map control.
Okay.Map control is still important. People still try to hold advantageous positions so they can use the environment to aid them. Choke points, high ground, vehicles, etc.
People camping at their bases or hiding behind rocks and then rushing the power weapons when they see them spawn isn't map control.
Map control is enforced through the use of power weapons and strategies to counter opposition.
Halo 3:
One team has the laser and can counter vehicles the other team has the sniper and can counter the laser while the opposing team can counter the sniper with vehicles...
One team can hold down the yellow lift with CQC weapons(shotguns and grav hammers) while the opposing team can break through that defense by charging with Overshield, needler support and sniper as cover.
These are what made the previous Halo's competitive so fluid.
Halo 4:
One team charges laser to counter vehicle, laser gets countered by sniper, sniper counters enemy vehicle.
Enemy team is holding down the sniper tower. Scrape a few kills and call in a sniper...
No emphasis for map control...
