    It promotes camping to a degree. Once you capture a territory, you don't really want to leave it.

    of course you camp in conquest. You can't tell me you have never taken the middle territory and just sat there before. It happens all the time.

    Yeah, you could make it a quicker capture time. That would help

    Flags are in bases which is where you spawn so that is an exception. Although, I don't really see any MLG top teams camping their base anyway.

    If you want to win in high level MLG, you can't camp the flag. Watch these videos; it's not flag, but you get the idea...

    I don't see any problems with an MLG territories variant. I'm sure the gametype and compatible maps could be tweaked precisely enough to prevent camping and to promote strategy.

    Why is there no MLG VIP or Bomb?

    There just isn't.

    Well the reason there isn't MLG bomb is because that it doesn't tell you when the other team is arming the bomb.

    The VIP would promote a lot of camping and I think it would get boring to watch.

    1. "BOMB ARMED!" is kinda a hint...

    2. Its just a matter of the settings.

    MLG doesn't play with a diffuse time. They play with a 5 second arm time and then it blows up. No chance of diffusing. Remember midship bomb?

    They might be able to make VIP or territories work but I guarantee that they would play much slower than the gametypes they already have.
