I was at a game like that over the summer (and it had self nominated CO's which is as noted not a good idea).
Team A and B spent the most of the morning bumping each other and then finally settled into a grinding shootout with A surrounding B's defensive position. After some time A started to feel the spirit of the game wasn't being followed and complaints started.
The organizers called a break and split the groups up. After the break most of A stayed in the safe area while B re-occupied their base.
B then waited for A to show up and re-initiate the festivities to no avail; B then picked up en masse and went looking for A. At this point the remaining A players, infiltrated the B base, snatched the VIP, and then transported him to their base and ran out the clock.
One lesson from that was that a team with radio net in a big event can make all the difference even when out gunned.
As an aside this is not a poke at the CO of Team A. He was about the youngest, greenest guy in the group it appeared and he was picked by the group as no one wanted to the CO (myself included).
