I think DICE anticpated this, and so they included Team Deathmatch along with Squad Deathmatch in BF3. I have a feeling we'll still see these players regardless in the objective modes. Now, we need a balance of deathmatch players and objective players in objective games, because when you're defending, it helps to have a player that's good at rushing to intercept the attacking forces and keep them off (or at least thin them out) from the objective. They're also good at covering teammates.
