One group totally crushes the other group in a matter of seconds or its one v one fights between players. Neither are much fun in my opinion. The best fights are the ones involving whole squads lasting minutes over a patch of land.
There are very few sustained firefights happening. Maybe once every 4 or 5 rounds is there an actual battle.
Squads exchanging fire over a distance trying to kill each other off. A constant battle to hold the position. Taking ground and being pushed back. When you die your running back to try and reenforce your team. You take ground gradually not sprinting into the enemy. These fights often last a few minutes at least. and feature massed fire to the point where everyone is screaming for nanohives. They happen in the weirdest of place. In those hills between objectives. Even just in a hallway connecting two buildings. Sometimes not even near the objective.
I dont know but when those skirmishes end, even if my squad lost the objective it still got my adrenaline going. Theres a real sense of desperation and struggle to hold on or take the objective and when it happens it feels great. You guys know what im talking about. That game that felt more real than the others. That really got you going.
I dont know what causes it. Maybe its actual smart players got paired together that use cover. Right now most firefights involve one side being totally outnumbered and they only last seconds usually.
What element do you think cause this? And is there anything we can suggest to CCP to change so that this more real kind of battle happens more often.
Now that I think of it. Those of you that played MAG would know what im talking about. This kind of thing happened all the time there.
Its even more beautiful sitting in a tank when this happens. Sitting as a squat compact armoured bunker, barely moving just firing until you overheat.
You see men on the other end of the line panic, then break, they run, reinforce, and bring AV, then fire works, you have swarms flying grenades being tossed, gunlines exchanging fire.
And in one beautiful move if you tank happens to live you can tank shock them and drive straight through their central gun line and break it up entirely. |

Still, past three or so days I started picking up light frames again and have been having some of the most fun I've ever had in Dust. If I can get through the entire match without engaging a single enemy, just sneaking behind their backs and hacking stuff, then that was a good match.
