Now we also don't have time to see who is on the opposite team, how many they are or how many we are nor do we have time to see the Team/Squad configuration of the Blues.
Very optimized for shooting faces. Except we get to do all that in the spawn screen.  |

Matches more often now start with half-full teams and therefor the less-stocked team doesn't even invest in trying to win the battle.
Does this show in metrics or is it just an impression I got from my limited playtime? I suspect this is the fallout from BF4 Beta and GTA-V. Both are pulling many DUST players away. Then add in the factor of the limited SP (the CAP) and once you are SP Capped there is little reason to play. So, many are off playing other games before the weekly SP reset.
Then you add in the factor that many Tankers are giving up on DUST altogether and the fact that the last week was the end of the month from 1.4. All of which adds up to fewer players at any one time. Then Scotty tries to engage us in matches with fewer players with the predictable results.
1.5 interest should help somewhat. But three weeks later, we will be seeing this behavior again. BF4 releases 29 Oct, just saying.

Not the quick version and not the long from before. Something half way which will allow some to note the opposition and, hopefully, some squad information as well. |
