(PS3) Warhawk: Get in the ZONES!

Now, i still LOVE Warhawk and the Icarus Jetpacks turned out to a be a lot more fun and balanced than i thought they would...but why is it no one seems to play Zones? I personally consider Zones to be the best game type Warhawk has to offer, although i still haven't made my decision on Hero or Collection. For one the implementation of the Zones (across all the game types) is pretty unique to Warhawk, secondly it offers far more strategy than DM, TDM, or even CTF, and lastly, it's one of the best ways to earn points in ranked matches. Sure you can get more points for capturing or returning a flag, but you have to be that ONE guy who pulls it off. In Zones there's plenty of zone capturing and defense to be had by all. And think of the fun when the other team thinks they're pwning you as they capture zone after zone all the way to your base, only to have you and/or a couple teammates sneak to the other, relatively undefended side of the map to capture zones behind the enemy line, forcing them to return back in that direction. This splits their forces between two battlefronts (although yours will be as well...likely to a lesser degree) and creates a pincer as you have their team sandwiched in between two forces of yours. FUN!! So Warhawk players everywhere, get out there and get in them ZONES!!!
