You can easily lose an Attack/ Defend match by ignoring the map's objective in favor of getting kills or spawn camping.

On Defense, spawn camping can put your team farther away from the objective. If a Spy, Scout with Bonk! Atomic Punch, or an explosive jumping Soldier or Demoman makes it around you without you noticing, they could capture the last point before your team can make it back to stop them.

On Offence, if your team focuses on getting kills rather than capturing objectives, you leave yourself with less time to capture the objective, meaning if the enemy team gets the upper hand with an Ubercharge or strong push, you won't have enough time to recover.

Focus on capturing an objective before trying to get kills. You can proceed beyond the objective on offence if you already have teammates capturing to help maintain momentum. You can do this on defense, as well, but remember to fall back to the objective.



Bonus Tip: Payload carts will not move any faster than three times it's normal speed. Unless you are using it to get ammo or health, there is no point in being the fourth guy on the cart.
