Learn how to master Domination in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. This guide covers capturing flags, scoring, defensive and aggressive strategies, and spawn trapping.

Domination is an objective-based game mode in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare where players capture and hold flags (A, B, and C) to earn points. Holding flags earns points over time, and the first team to reach a score of 200 wins. Unlike other modes, team success is not solely determined by kill count.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Capturing Flags: Stand within a circular capture zone (approximately 4 game meters in radius) for 8-10 seconds. Having additional teammates in the zone reduces capture time. Three players can capture a flag in 2-3 seconds.
  2. 2
    Scoring: Points are earned only after the first flag is captured. Holding a flag grants +1 point every 3-4 seconds. Additional flags increase point gain. The minimum winning score is 200, with a possible maximum of 202.
  3. 3
    Awards: Contributing to a capture grants +150 points. Killing an enemy trying to capture your flag earns kill points plus a +200 "Flag Defender" award. Killing an enemy who just took a flag or is planting explosives earns an "Offensive" award and XP bonus. These awards contribute to career achievements and unlockable items like "LIGHTWEIGHT-PRO".
  4. 4
    Defensive Strategy: Hold your spawn flag and one other flag (typically B). This allows you to defend a line and cut off enemy movement. This strategy is effective against superior opponents but may be perceived as "camping".
  5. 5
    Aggressive Strategy: Rove the entire map, flipping flags. This can be risky as it may leave you vulnerable to enemy spawn waves. If your team adopts this approach, always check your back and stay near Flag B if playing defensively to spot incoming enemies.
  6. 6
    Spawn Trapping (Historical): Previously, holding two adjacent flags and controlling Flag B was a dominant strategy. Developers have implemented changes to make this harder, including enemies spawning behind players who achieve rapid consecutive kills.
Tips
  • Understanding enemy positioning and movement is crucial for success.
  • Committing to an area between two flags can yield good kill totals while securing wins.
  • Be aware that killing enemies does not win the game; capturing and holding objectives does.
  • If your team rushes an entrenched enemy, they are likely to be defeated.
  • If your team is playing aggressively, remain near Flag B to spot enemy spawn waves if you choose a defensive role.
