DUST Search - The Gentlemen's Agreement

Lycuo wrote:

Hey everybody,

Yesterday at 20:00 there was a special kind of battle where some high class members of the dust community decided to make the gentlemen's agreement and play a squad cup match without all the "cheap" tactics...

What am i talking about you say?

The second round match in the EU squad cup where The Rainbow Effect went against Power Rangers. (which btw can we not put in my opinion the two top teams against each other this early next time... you have to be able to rank them or something)

Anyways, the agreement was that we would not use grenades PERIOD. We would not spam massdrivers but if you wanted one or so for a tactical position was fine. We would not place a forgegunner in a cheap position over the hack point. Finally, we would have fun and no matter who wins and loses, we are here to have fun.

So right before the match KingBabar's recording equiptment took a crap so i ended up recording the match on my cellphone. I hate to say it the glare from the screen is absolutely horrendus but it is watchable if you would like to see how much fun this match was. It also cuts out about 5 - 7mins before the end of the match because my phone died but oh well.

The Rainbow Effect vs Power Rangers (Round 2 EU squad cup)

So i was wondering what everyone thinks of this agreement. Btw before everyone comes in with oh welcome to AR 514!!! Honestly this game was decided by what i think is my favorite part of this game. TACTICS. Unfortunately my teams tactics were not as good as the Power Rangers but im sure about half way through the match we had them worried a little.

Also, to Power Rangers, we had a lot of fun and im pretty sure you guys said you did too. Congrats on the victory and you better win the damn tournament or we will want our balacs back :P

Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me, such is the motto of the anti vehicle infantry.

It is fair to say that the pressure you guys put out in your match, we did not feel that again and we should have faced you guys in the 3 round finals and that would have really been an EPIC battle for a great weekend. Its not often i say this but you guys were awesome to play against. GG guys. o7 Winner of EU Squad Cup "Go Go Power Rangers!"

Alas, they are not..i have been stuck on the hood of the opposing team's onikuma all day.. Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness.

Shijima Kuraimaru WarRavens League of Infamy 359	Posted - 2013.11.03 22:44:00 - [21] - Quote Interesting how a decided tactical advantage is deemed as cheap. I would consider head glitching a cheap tactic. I would consider hiding inside a terrain glitch a cheap tactic. I would consider invisible mercs running around killing with impunity a cheap tactic. But positioning someone where they can be highly effective is good tactics, not cheap tactics. Although I do hate grenade spam, I don't really consider it cheap as I can use them too.

No one argues against forge guns on the ground except really mad HAV'ers who can't snipe from the red line with impunity.

There's a massive smoke trail that makes driver rounds clearly visible and tells the player exactly where to go to avoid them and where they are coming from. You have to reload mass driver rounds unlike just continuously pitching nades from a cloud of nanohives. Dieing to MD's suck, but I understand what is sacrificed in exchange for their power. CCP: Make grenades much more visible and nerf how quickly you can refill your grenade supply.

But positioning someone where they can be highly effective is good tactics, not cheap tactics. Although I do hate grenade spam, I don't really consider it cheap as I can use them too. Its deemed cheap because a forge gun is meant to be an AV weapon with the ability to shoot at ground troops if needed... but in most games forge gunners have more kills on ground troops than vehicles... Thats why its deemed as cheap it fills a role it shouldnt and therefor is considered cheap to use in said role... Mass drivers are not a problem if they are used in 1's or 2's but as we saw in a couple rounds of the tournament certain teams used them in 6's... Why does this become cheap you may ask? Because for some dumb reason the mass driver is able to fire off rounds so fast (almost as fast as a breach assault rifle which ive never seen a noobtube that fast) and disturbs any opposing forces vision so badly there have been times i ran into some rock on the ground cause there were soo many mass driver rounds hitting i couldnt see where i was going with all the red that pops up and the blurred vision... Anyways it was fun to play a game where tactics and gungame were actually important and not who has more roof forge gunners and tanks
