There's a little bit more to it. Each zone has three levels of growth, starting with your base, which can be grown to level 3 right from the start. The higher the level, the wider the radius, and the more points/weapons/vehicles for your team. Zones outside of the base can only be expanded if they are "linked up" with neighboring zones that are also expanded. When you chain zones together you'll see the territory bleed together on the map.
If the enemy starts to cap one of your zones it'll shrink and eventually be captured, which can break your teams chain and cause any connected zones to shrink as well. Likewise if you have an enemy zone nearby that's of greater value, your zone will be blocked from expanding until you shrink or capture the opposition. It's kinda like the game Go. With cruise missiles.
The only zone that can't be completely captured is of course the home base. But it can be shrunk to level 1 temporarily, which is a useful tactic as it can cause a chain reaction (and usually a scramble).
hukasmokincaterpillar said:
Actually, breaking the chain of zones doesn't reduce the adjoining zones, it just prevents the accumulation of bonus points for linking. You can grow a totally isolated zone to 3 if you want. The limitations on zone growth are from nearby enemy zones. If the enemy zone is at 3, you can only grow an adjacent zone to 1. So when you take a new zone, it's important for someone to stick around and defend/grow it while others go and reduce/capture nearby zones. In this way you can capture all zones on the map aside from the enemy home base, reduce the enemy home base to 1 and grow your nearby zones to 3, thus preventing them from getting any points at all.

I have been downloading for the last 2 hours. Still not done. 
I will be ready to plat this if any clans )preferably GAF South) have an opening.

So far I have only invited people and got TTP to do a server. It would be nice if you would also organize some regular meetups. GAFu will not be a real competitive clan I guess but more of friends playing together.
If you think you can handle it I will promote you. I just don't think I will be able to do stuff like this in a timely fashion.
I don't understand why people are so 'angry' about the 4x4's in CTF matches. You can take out a 4x4 extremely easy with a sniper rifle. Especially from a distance. Or, if you're good enough, you can use the Bino's.
It's all about organizing. You can tell when a team is organized very well, and when they aren't.

It WAS updating instantly for me right after the fix, but then stopped doing so the next day; I hope it doesn't happen to you or anyone else out there...
It gets real annoying when its a ctf or zones game and no one is talking out there
Oh, and can they fix the clan invite issues already? and why oh why didnt they copy Resistance's party settings....
I swear, this is the most grief a game has ever given me that I have kept playing....

Ah, thanks for the correction. I've been approaching zones all wrong then. :lol
I also didn't get Warhawk until 1.92 was installed, so that makes it interesting.Smidget said:
I notice that at least today, there still aren't very many servers up just like beta :/. Maybe it's because I crashed too soon to get all of the servers loaded, but it still wasn't a moderate amount.
Hopefully the issues will get sorted out soon :/

Figure this is relevant.
How to get to the wallpapers available on PSN? I wanna get the Warhawk ones, but I can't figure out how to get there :\

The only thing I wish this game had was infantry classes like Battlefield 1942 so I didn't have to run the fuck all over a map hunting for specific weapons.

Whaa... I'm pretty sure I'm on the US store. Where is it specifically?
jaundicejuice said:
I was just saying that when I was playing earlier. Kinda lame to have to fight with your team mates to get the rifle and grenades when you spawn.
I think the whole idea of the game was to eliminate as much choice as possible during the game so that you have the opportunity to change play styles at any point - every mode is based on being able to adapt to situations as quickly as possible...fumbling through classes won't help.
If they do classes, you run into problems regulating the number of different classes available at one time, because you know the game would be filled with a bunch of snipers and demolition people who end up being ineffective at the majority of game.

Dang.
I need to look harder next time...

It's basically the total points you need to have to achieve that rank (+ the mentioned award).
One thing I dotn get about the awards are those whose In A Round requirement ask to score 2 or more captures in a CTF. Problem being, the score limit in ranked CTF is 1. :|

TY. I will look for the invite.

Some people think it's a fancy name for team deathmatch really need teamwork on it which is why I barely like playing that mode because I end up expanding upto 3 or 4 Zones on my own and pray the enemy doesn't try to take any defenceless ones, a full Archipelo map is a bitch to do on your lonesome.

Is the promotion glitched? I have over 3000 points and I got the Bandit Ground Combat badge ages ago and I'm still sergeant.
Who was in the SCEA server with me?
The other team had our flag halfway across the map in the back of a jeep. I was chasing after on foot and ran into the sniper rifle.
Seriously halfway across the map still, in two shots I capped the driver and then the flag carrier.
Never been so lucky in my life, hehe.

Ouch, 2 rounds on Team Noob in zones was enough for me tonight. When I'm first place on a ranked team you know it's not a good sign, as was the fact I was one of only 2 red players listed in the top 15 or whatever after the match.
If you're on a bad team, zones is just sooooooooooo painful. I should have left when InfuriatedMule did, I just joined that official server because he was on it

The ranking system really does weird shit. I keep seeing the rank promotion pop up for a rank way lower than what I'm currently at. Makes no sense.

Do what I do. If the team seems useless, just try to get badges/ribbons. Some of the requirements are pretty fun and challenging. Got the Special Ops, Oustanding Transport, and Vehicle Assault ribbons tonight.
One funny moment during a deathmatch game, I was tooling around in a jeep trying to run people over for the Outstanding Transport ribbon, and another guy got in with me. So I drive around a bit, he's shooting at everyone else, then I head for a cliffside over the water and jumped out at the last second. Poor bastard. :X

Haha, I like just sitting by and watching the guy with the flag run into my mines. It's very funny. I just stand there and laugh.Baker said:The other trick is when you're running in with a teammate, stop and let him be the first to run in.
Another good thing is to put two gernades on each side of a bridge and not just one. Usualy, people forget about the other side of the bridge. Also, mines can be thrown on walls. Mix it up and watch the suckers explode.
