I Don't Understand Headquarters Scoring

Hey all,
I'll make this quick. Would someone please explain to me how
headquarters works. Five times, the enemy team managed to make
the HQ line all red, but when I ran up to it, it took the meter
all the way back down, and I earned "1" something (capture? I
don't know). The only reason I know is because I kept earning 1
of something every time I did this, but the score stayed 48 - 0,
with us losing.
Is this an offense/defense thing? I always assumed it was more
like Hardpoint, with hints of Domination. I don't understand how
their team score kept going up, if I kept taking back the HQ
they won. The entire match, we didn't score one point. I had 5
"something's" because I heard them say "Enemy has captured the
HQ, get in there." My question is, what did I earn points for,
and how are points scored. It seems arbitrary to me, since I
don't understand what's going on. 7

You get points for capturing it and additional points for the
amount of time your team hold it.
Once it is captured the other team has to do damage limitation
by disabling it but they don't get points for this, just reduce
the number of points the capturing team get.
Rinse and repeat as the headquarters moves.
Basically if your team do not capture a single headquarter you
will end up with 0 points.
Similar to hardpoint but the capturing team don't re-spawn
(think that is the difference)

Thank you for that great explanation. I think I get it ¹1now,
but let me tell you how I interpreted your explanation, just to
be sure.
Sorry, hit post button early

I just wanted to make sure i understand this correctly:
The HQ, in the beginning, is a neutral site (meaning either time
can try to capture the HQ). The first team to "secure" the HQ
has basically "won" that HQ. However, they must guard the HQ
they captured because the other team can "retake" the HQ, and
limit the amount of points you receive for the capture.
Retaking, or recapturing, the HQ does not give your team any
points/score, but it does limit the amount of points the team
that captured the HQ can receive.
Basically, there is no offense or defense, like in S&D; we all
try to take the HQ for our team. If we don't capture the HQ, we
can still try to limit the points the other team gets by
capturing the HQ for our team, but we get no points?

Here's a basic rundown for HQ. Once it can be captured, both
teams fight over it until one team is near it long enough to
capture it. The team that captures it CAN NOT respawn until the
enemy team "destroys" the HQ, which is just to sit in the area
and wait for the meter. Then the HQ location switches to the
next area. There's a dumb box thingy that gets in the way where
the HQ is. I haven't paid attention to how scoring works, but
you only get points by capturing it.
This is one where I don't play the objective. I actually don't
want my team to capture the HQ. I died once immediately after I
accidentally captured it. Had to observe teammates for almost a
whole damn minute before the enemy finally destroyed it lol.
I've had a couple matches end in a 0-0 draw cause nobody wanted
to capture the HQ. If you're more about W/L, then you may see it
differently than me 😏. I do play the objective, for the
part, in other modes. However, I do snipe a lot so when KC comes
up, I'm not racing to grab a lot of them tags if you know what I
mean.

James, I totally understand not playing the objective in HQ
after I had the exact same experience. But, now I have another
question: I was the only one who jumped on the HQ last night,
without a damn teammate in sight. Yet, when I hit the options
button so I could see the scoreboard, and watch how the scoring
takes place- it showed 0 next to my name for "captures."
Naturally, while I was scoreboard watching, I got smoked
immediately, and couldn't respawn. That was kind of a piss-off
because it's almost like the enemy let's you capture the HQ,
then smokes you right away, and leaves one of my teammates
alive, while they just dick around. Sure, they're allowing my
teams score to increase, but they're also trolling the hell out
of us, and doing a great job of it. I actually laughed once I
noticed what they were doing.
After I realized that the "No Respawn" rule kicks in after
capturing the HQ, I avoided that thing like the plague. No
Respawn is the only reason I don't play S&D at all.
