Yep dom solo can be a struggle just dont expect anything from teammates makes it somewhat easier.Domination is at a all time low over here as far as people playing the gamemode goes. If you dont cap or defend when needed then there wasted space and regardless of there k/d your just another bad player in my book .......

This is why I always play Dom in a team. However, I really miss the "War" mode from World @ War. One person could easily sway the game.

Agree with everything except C flag on mission is the most important

I'm suprised i have a w/l ratio of 1.05 still. All i really do is play Dom. I probably have like 6 or 7 days put into playing Dom. Probably 90% of that time is playing solo. I hold a k/d of 1.13, but i feel like it can def be better. Like you guys i'm the one constatly running around making sure atleast 2 flags are capped at all times. I remember one time i was playin with randoms the score was like 180-120. My team ended up gettin shut down we couldn't even cap one flag, and they came back and won. I was so jacked how can that seriously happend.

I differ in that I enjoy playing Mission a lot for Dom. However, you are definitely 100% correct about one thing: spawning at A is a huuuuuge disadvantage. The only solution I can figure is to take C. I know that B is the key to the match, but taking C and letting them have A as early as possible can possibly swing it a bit, provided you're not already down by 60 points.

I no longer play mission in domination it's the worst map for domination specially if you get suck with A. mainly cuase the enemy team can camp the cliff side catching the spawns....

semtex or a throwing knife is my trusted friends. hardly use the Tknife anymore though, Dome is actually fairly easy to win if you have at least one other person attempting to win. B is easy to defend just drop a TI near the front and hang out in the hall way or the back room with a RF smg or go uber noob with FMG9 akimbo and run scav. lol.

I normally play with a squad, but when I am solo, I love to run to domination. It is a real challenge to be able to pull of the W and usually you will have at least one other guy on your team trying to win as well. But understand, there are certain maps you can do this on, and certain maps you can't. Don't even bother with DOME, but others like Arkaden and Mission are somewhat doable.

I have only lost two or three solo domination matches, but I have taken a beating while doing so. Hint: C4 is almost like having a teammate.

i played against a group of three last night in domination they had 400 caps 200 defends and 3k+ kills... awesome stuff, easy win lol.

Agreed. I find it very frustrating playing Dom solo. I try and wait for at least one clan friend to join, then we have a far better shot. It is amazing how much 2 coordinated and focused players can influence a game together, especially when playing against randoms.

I don't even know how to check my overall stats other than the lobby leaderboard, which states I have an awful lot more caps than defends, which I chalk up to the earlier days when I was playing and didn't for sure know what the heck I was doing.

At any rate, my W/L is not fantastic I am sure, but I can't help it. I am just starting to become a "competent" player who knows what they are doing on each map (with the exception of Carbon, that one still eats me up). If I jump online and play let's say 7-10 maps on a given evening, without fail at least half of those games I will be the only one insistent upon actually capturing important flags (say "B" on Arkaden, Lockdown, or even Mission, where B is the key to the game). I don't mind getting killed - not really if it is in pursuit of a cap. I do however mind if I am the only one laying on an important flag at a critical time in the game only to be riddled with bullets by an enemy nearby defending. And I can't always clear the area before I attempt to cap if I feel it's at an important point of the match (i.e. down 197-195).

I actually don't know what happened in MW3. In BO Dom was my favorite gametype (play almost always solo) and used to do well as long as the team weren't completely rubbish. Often finished atleast top three scorer in lobby and often had good runs with winning games.

But in MW3 its much harder to play objective game types, not sure why

I played a couple of DZ games last night, and the same thing, there were QS's on my team racking up 40-50 kills, but ending up with 2000 points less than me (with only 20-25 kills) just due to the fact that they dont play the objective. But i find DZ and Team Defender more playable than Domination

Heh, yeah. Call of Duty is just frustrating, period. My girlfriend asks me why I'm upset, when I won the game. Then I list the 15 things that made me mad that match. I liked Black Ops a 1000 times more than this game.

In my opinion, I have more of an effect on the outcome of a domination game, than any other game type. One person can be the difference. Now, I'm not saying that you can win any game. I've had games where I couldn't get just the littlest bit of help to win, but I'm still winning 75% of my matches. I just wanted to chime in, because I don't think the basis of the thread is true. It's pretty difficult to do, but "impossible" it is not.

I never said it was impossible. In my original post I said that I went 2-2. It's by no means impossible. I'd almost guarantee I've won more Domination games than I've lost it's just that most of the games I lose, my team has no business losing with the amount of work I did. I've played games of Domination where I've had more kills (and probably more caps) than my entire team combined.

I do what I can but when I'm consistently the only one going for B and then when I finally get B, we lose A, there's not a whole lot I can do other than go back, take A, and then try getting B again. Those games are by far the most frustrating.

not many cap anymore, i do dependant on if im playing with friends since they cap and i support fire, since i'm better at firing/survival. When i play solo i still manage to get games of like 45+ kills and under 10 deaths by capping flags cleverly and knowing how to read enemy locations based on my teams deaths and where they are supressing. i was in top 4k dom til i quit playing for a while. currently am sat at 5k.

I just don't get it. I can patrol between 2 capture points on my own. What I can't do is stop a pair of split screeners going 7-28 combined in TDM. You have so much less solo game control in TDM.
