Last night I had an incredible time playing a little FW. Basically, the other team completely stomped us - they took every objective...EXCEPT C. My squad decided to defend C with everything we had, and let the blueberries run around fighting for the other objectives (because we knew we weren't going to be able to make up any ground).
Two tanks, an orbital, and the entire enemy team finally dislodged our stronghold, but damn was that fun.

Those are some of the best matches, where you might not win, but you make those dirty red dots fight for every inch. If you succeed in your own objective, you can still have fun despite the rest of your team getting stomped on.

To OP, I wish I can see your battle. I'm sure it is to be logged in history.
I like intense matches, where you are like "On a pub match? really?" But it is fun nonetheless. |

That's actually where you did something wrong. A whole squad defending one objective obviously proved meaningless, as you still lost you butts.
You should have been able to defend an objective all by yourself, maybe a second. This is where the slayer comes in handy.
You slayer (Hopefully your team has more than one) is to make sure the enemy is pushed back. (Not just a KDR Killwhore, like Reggie).
For example: since I played solo 99.997% of the time. I would assign myself to one objective (Skirmish, of course). Usually a middle objective, like B,C,D... I would make my way to the objective, and set up on it. Slay if I needed to, then hack it and hold... all by myself. A lot of the time, I was just waiting there, with nothing to do because the enemy didn't come after it... But I was doing my role. I left 15 other blueberries to worry about the other objectives. When the enemy would eventually come along to my objective, I would fight them off tooth & nail. I was being a teamplayer by making sure I was a strong link on the chain. Defending an objective comes with so many advantages. Once you have it hack, you can just kill them off, until they stop coming and give up.
Now, since you were in a squad, you had the power of multiple Orbitals to possibly obtain. So you could spread yourselves out among the objectives, and if one of you got into big trouble (10 on 1 for to long) you could call in the Strike and clear it off. DUST is a team game, and teams need to be strong, by having strong links. That is what separates good teams from VERY good teams.
Glad you had fun, but I hope you learned something as well. FQ and P/C are about winning. Play to win. |

This works if you are a better player than anyone on the other team. However, I get the impression that the OP was up against multiple squads of highly skilled players, such that defending objectives 1 vs 6 would not have worked out so well.

We had a successful streak of stompage going last night.
Not a single one of us in Proto **** either.
Way to take it like a champ and not come on here whining about how MLT Scrambler Pistols are OP.
(I don't actually know that it was us; I'm just sayin'...)

Yeah, we were getting stomped, remember? I think we never had more than one objective at once. And it didn't help that I would get one of their tanks down to something like 300-400 HP and it would escape. That **** happened like 4 or 5 times lol

2 things every squad should utilize. An SCR Slayer and a Forge Gunner. You can't always have a Supply Depot on hand near by, so working in pairs is the benefit to this. However, a HAV can only be effective against certain objectives, choosing which objectives to defend with anti-infantry(SCR Slayer role) and anti-vehicle(Forge Gunner) is key. Objectives that are underground, or on an elevated platform can be defended with the SCR Slayer. The Forge Gunner defends ground based NULL Cannons. All HAV users fear the FG, that is fact.
Of course, this is all hindsight to your situation. I wasn't in that game. I can just pile together all the data I have come up with from playing this game as seriously as I did. It has been my long conclusion that DUST players are lackluster FPS players, and need direction. |
