Onsal Hakair (Danshig Nadaam) is effectively Seal Rock (Seize)
The rules of engagement and victory requirements are generally the same as those in Seal Rock (Seize).
This means passive play really won't work that well, especially now in this mode where you can't retake an objective. Sorry backcappers, it won't work this time. This makes fighting a team that has captured an objective or is ahead in points far more important, and completely negates the need for defending an objective. No standing around "defending" anymore.
The closer it is to the center of the battlefield, the greater the likelihood that an ovoo's rank will be high.
While we haven't seen the map yet, to all aspiring tacticians/shotcallers, keep this in mind. The chances of A/S rank objectives will be higher near the middle of the map, but it's safe to assume they may be in more wide open areas. Keep this in mind for possible/future positioning strategies.
As the battle progresses, the number of ovoos that can be simultaneously active will decrease. At the same time, the likelihood that they will activate at a higher rank will increase.
Time is of the essence. Objectives will appear fewer, but possibly at higher ranks as time goes on. It won't be worth it to play passively, as if a team gets ahead early, capturing later objectives only gives them greater chances of getting more points. And because of that, one final important bit:
By defeating players from opposing teams, players can increase their tactical rating while at the same time decreasing that of the opposing teams.
As has ALWAYS been a rule in Frontlines, you can gain points and drop the enemy team's points "By defeating players from opposing teams"
No "let them fight" strategies will work here. Attempting to just avoid and cap will only put a big target on your back, and even if you're quick to cap objectives, "defeating players from opposing teams" will be how you STAY ahead of the others.
Fight hard. Have fun.
