It's two different philosophies at the moment ;
A- Kill as many things as possible and Die as little as possible.
B- Help your team to win battles with teamwork and tactics.
Which one it is CCP ? How you intended this game to be played ? |

I'm hoping they go for B -- without forcing the team mechanic into everything. |

Why does there have to be one? You can easily do both ... -_- |

It's kinda supposed to be both.
And don't forget option C: Help your squad kill as much as possible and die as little as possible with teamwork and tactics - at least going by the new squad based WP rewards. |

You can't... is just 2 different ways of approaching the game.
- If i want lots of kill and not dying a lot... i use a Proto Caldari suit.
- If i trying to help my team, i use a huge variety of different suits that i can use strategically, but mostly only Adv suits. |

Silly Mercs.
Which planet have you been on? The first week of every month (specifically when the latest patch escapes) you are supposed to log in and find out what game DUST has changed into over the lunch break in the server room. First remember to fix the Suit Fits that are no longer valid (vehicles soon), make sure you check that the specifications for something you spent time and possibly cash into has been modified ... again, then try and play.
Assuming you can get into a match, if Scotty doesn't have to step out for a brew and if it all functions then find out what they have changed. After that you can decide if you want to play or wait it out until the Next Patch.
Just like the rest of us. |

It was supposed to be GÇö win a planet for someone in EVE. Don't know what happened to that part. |

Well... I achieve both easily in a game. I go on average 18-3 and I get 2,000 WP and we win.... |

Nah.. you just went with flow of the battle. I guaranty you, that is only very few people that have the ability to impact a battle with tactics, and score a high K/D ratio. The more elaborated the tactics is, the less time you have for killing. |

Which one it is CCP ? How you intended this game to be played ? I have no answers, only observations.
Given CCP's approach to similar questions in EVE, i'd say they have no opinion, other that to say 'find a corp you fit well with as soon as possible', perhaps.
I suppose the more empirical way to look at your question is twofold: what actions do they reward with WP and what actions do they award with SP?
That could be a long and contentious discussion. But to think about it crudely i'd say that CCP rewards good Logis and slayers for infantry, since those two will typically be at the top of the WP board. I'd say with vehicles they reward only slayers.
Conversely, the bonus for winning a match is very small.
I take this to mean CCP rewards tactics as opposed to strategy. I think it's also fair to say that they don't attempt to distinguish between self-serving tactics and team-serving tactics, and it's hard to blame them, since it would be very hard to sort that out.
Note that for FW we'd have to make a slightly different analysis and for PC a different analysis again, which leads me to think that the thing to focus on is the connection to New Eden, as opposed to the WP/SP formulae.
And in the end, that's why we're all here, isn't it? Because DUST and New Eden offer something far more meaningful, and far more real, than all the other FPSs combined. |

Not if you only worrying about A, and find B a waste of time.
Maybe the answer is making A + B = C |

Making pub matches more one-sided in terms of final isk payout might give people incentive to work towards B (if that was the intention).
EDIT: I'm aware of the pub-stomping counter argument. |

C) Use an assault suit with an AR. Complain that everything else that isn't an ASS with an AR is OP when they outgun your tactics until CCP nerfs it to the ground. (Especially tanks, gotta hate tanks) |

FFS.... this is not a "I hate X weapons thread"... seriously... your obsession with the AR is getting a bit boring Cosgar.
Just HTCU girl !!! |

If AR is all you got out of my statement, then you need help with reading comprehension. |

Morons... It's get to objectives, get them first or sit in the red because taking objectives back isn't ISK efficient.
The core principles are always going to be wonky, wear good gear, take less risk, so you stay in good gear.
18months ago I'd ruck on objectives. These days if we don't get objectives first, it's Proto sniper suit. Obviously this applies less in PC, but is still relevant. |

what I want to know is this:
Is this game meant to be COD or a meta game?
Because all I see is MLT guys dying in 1 second flat and having to shoot consistently for 3-4 seconds into a proto guy.
It's either stack your suit, upgrade your HP and go to town or die instantly.
Some matchmaking would be nice. |
