When playin conquest mode, do you score only by the kills therfore reducing your enemies tickets, or do you score more by holding more points and the points on the map are strcitly for spawn points?

AFAIK, Conquest is all about reducing the opponents' tickets to zero. Points A, B, and C provide additional spawn points while held, but when a team holds 2 or more points, then the opponents' ticket count reduces at a certain rate in addition to kills that reduce the ticket count. If all three are held, the opposite teams' tickets will reduce pretty rapidly/radically.

So if you just held one point and out shot your enemy you could still win?

Technically, yes. Kill rate would need to exceed their kill rate + "ticket bleed" though. To lose all three for significant time and manage to win from equal ticket number? Highly improbable.

hmm, that explains our butt whipping on Wednesdays conquest map. it didnt seem that we had any less control of the flags than our opponent but they still beat us by about 30+ points. I did get killed alot by violence. :(

yea it seemed both teams held the points about the same amount of time to me too, on heavy metal that is.
