For me the best part of a battle is when there is an "actual battle". Right now there seems to be two ways fights go in this game. 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.

Sustained fights are dull trench warfare. Most ppl want dynamic play. Team combat was best executed in MAG where there were massive waves of ppl colliding giving you that sense of 'battle' around you, yet it was not two trenches of ppl facing each other.

The reason it worked so well was because the maps were well designed with a great sense of directionality and a logical spawn system.
