That's my philosophy. I always look to extract with the super samples (even though I'm capped) and side objectives completed.

Depends.

Sometimes carefully combing the map and tactically taking apart all objectives in the most effective way possible is more fun.

But sometimes, you're just in the mood for a mad dash sniper bomber blitz running from objective to objective and taking them out without even getting close all the while spewing hot shrapnel at anything that moves, getting ragdolled across the landscape as you miscalculated that last eagle or the reach of that cannon tower.
