My first thought, on seeing the title, was isn't that basically the function of Dust 514 in regards to new players.

On your idea, I would prefer a more urban environment as you could have a bit more tactics e.g. Main attack is the diversion and you try to sneak a scout through on the flank through side or difficult routes. The only way to hold these routes would be with scouts etc

That's the point really .. imagine how awful you must feel if you go 1-10 when you see ppl going 15-5 or 10-0 .. it was an idea to make new players not feel bad about dying alot and give them a chance to feel that they are actually contributing .. in ambush a blueberry dying over and over again is frowned upon but in a gamemode like this you want the blueberrys to keep coming back into the fray even if they keep dying because it;s a numbers game and if everyone is using the same gear they wont be at a major disadvantage

Obviously it's not a well thought out idea and any suggestions to either improve it or in fact any other game mode suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Right now I don't think DUST is an actual game .. it is severely lacking in the fun for all aspect .. I know they want new eden to be this harsh universe of war but we are mercs ... sure they work to earn ISK but what do they do in their downtime ? What do you do if you don;t feel like working* personally I go and have a kick around with my mates or go to the pub

I did have an idea for a race where ppl make their fastest militia suit and raced it over a map from point A to B and other mercs can place bets on who will finish where, there will be different obstacles and choices for the players on how to get from A to B mayeb some peeps will go for all out sprint speed maybe some will go for all out stamina maybe some will make a suit based on both

A big open field with a hill in the middle and 2 spawn points at the bottom of the hill on each side and a flag in the centre 16v16 Everyone is restricted to using the starter frontline fit for their race Objective Run to the top of the hill, 1 person gets the flag and you then have 1 minute to get the flag to your enemies base to score 1 point .. 1st team to 5 points wins or whoever has the most points after 15mins wins Reason it would be fun .. you can choose to either kill all your enemies (although they will respawn back at their base and therefore you;ll have to keep killing them to actually get the flag to their base) or you can choose to all just run through your enemies and hope that the person with the flag can get to the enemy base before he/she dies PS The person who has the flag isn't marked so you never know who has it and this will encourage utter mayhem because only the team with the flag will know who actually has the flag .. if the person who gets the flag has a mic and tells the other people in the team that they have the flag otherwise it'll just be 31 ppl running around not knowing what the hell is going on and who has the flag and 1 person runing around silently with the flag.. which .. if i'm honest .. would be pretty damn funny EDIT-Forgot to add that when a point is scored the flag is returned to its starting position 30 seconds afterwards

I feel great if I can get a 1.0 KDR, or even a 0.8 KDR. Still I have fun in the game, especially when I play with my roommate, and I take comfort in the fact that I always walk away with a profit (how I judge winning a match personally) and also when I can kill a protosuit with my standard fit. My roommate and I rarely blame game mechanics, and most of our deaths are due to running around a corner into three guys, or getting flanked, or other player mistakes. (We aren't very good, which is why we run standard suits)
