Logicloop why is their so much resistance to the idea. Pretty much everyone agrees removing skrim 1.0 was a huge mistake and it just feels like which ever team made that call won't man up to it. Multistage battles are the one thing this whole community agrees on. And frankly the match player numbers are not high enough for the ring around a rosey we currently have.

At least achknlowge the demand for this is their :-(

We know the demand is there. We hear it. We want to deliver, but it's not so much a case of if, but when. Hence why we don't know if we'll see it this year.

It wasn't a mistake to remove it - it was buggy as hell and virtually unplayable. The concept was good, but that early in the beta when CCP was still learning some tricks meant execution was bad (no offense). Removing it was the right thing to do at the time.

People now only rememember the good and have forgotten the bad (infinitite vehicle spaws; lag so bad you couldn't hit a stationary target 5 meters away - same for hit detection; hard freezes like crazy forcing your to hard reset the PS3, etc).

Give them time - they said a long time ago that it will be reintroduced when its fixed - for now we are getting fixes and new content for the modes we've got which is the right thing for CCP to do.

There have also been major changes to Skirmish Mode. Players who have been with us since closed beta will remember that Skirmish used to involve a team escorting a Mobile Command Center (MCC) across a map while a rival team attempted to stop them, a setup now commonly called GÇ£Skirmish 1.0GÇ¥. Unfortunately, this mode was not as balanced as we would have liked. At the time it was deployed, the fittings and skills players could select, and the randomization of outposts in each battle, led to uneven gameplay between the teams.

Players let us know, so we created a version of Skirmish Mode (commonly called GÇ£Skirmish 2.0GÇ¥) with more symmetry among teams. Anyone who has played DUST 514 should be familiar with this newer setup. There are now two MCCs floating above a battlefield, launching barrages of concentrated firepower at each other. Players rush to capture NULL cannons to damage their enemyGÇÖs MCC as quickly as possible while preventing their rivals from doing the same.
