It seems like people are simply getting smarter with team skirmish. Me and Bobby played a few team hardcore games one day and lost about all of them and they were all objective games. It only took people like two years to figure things out but I think they finally have. I used to be awesome at ninja'ing the flag and planting bombs but I was never even that close. Granted, I think we all are just a bit rusty but we'll fix that right up this summer. With a premade team we all know each other's style a bit better and we'll be able to communicate better as well instead of having the one or two pick up guys that just want the sniper rifle and to see a big kill number at the end of the game instead of getting caps so they can flog their e-peens.
