Domination Guide: 7 tips to capture more objectives and kills in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Capture and defend positions in this classic Call of Duty mode. Teams of 5-6 players must score 200 points to win. Starting sides switch and the objectives reset at half time when one team hits 100.

Here’s everything you need to know to improve your Domination win-loss ratio and nab a few killstreaks along the way.

How to Play Domination

There are three objectives. A and C are always on opposite sides of the map, making them easier to capture. Meanwhile, B is constantly contested because of its central location. B takes longer to reach and typically features more lines of sight. The frequent tug of war at this objective often determines the match.

Stand in the highlighted zone for about 10 seconds to fill the capture meter. It will turn blue to represent your team. The enemy is always red, while white positions are neutral. The more people in close proximity, the quicker the meter climbs. Coordinate with teammates to capture objectives faster.

Teams earn one point per position every five seconds.
