DUST Search - Domination is consistently and boringly one-sided

Objective cycling (much like Halo Combat Evolved moving king of the hill) would be pretty cool and interesting.

My idea would basically be a rip off of the redzone. Currently, you can not set equipment in the redzone unless it is your redline. Basically make equipment fizzle out in X radius (I would suggest 80 meter with infinite vertical column)

Basically all equipment spam is bad and I see it of all types on domination. There's only one objective so I mean, RE's shouldn't be necessary for a team nor hive spamming it's defense nor uplink spam everywhere and in hard to get places. It's not "clever" it's spam. To say otherwise would be like saying Junk Mail is clever.

Domination is currently a reliance on equipment of all types, though mainly uplinks and especially uplinks. If an area around the objective was considered dead for deployed equipment, you'd have a much more straightforward and less lenient game. I know it sounds radical but really when one objective has your undivided attention, you shouldn't need equipment spam to win.

My WLR is ~1 to 1.50, which means it's actually beautifully balanced and unpredictable "War isn't fair" could be used as an excuse to ignore every kind of balance issue, but this is not real life, this is a GAME. For games to be fun there has to be some degree of fairness or one side won't have fun, and there is no point in playing a game if you're not having fun. A name doesn't excuse bad design. Example: spawning in front of a blaster tank in ambush might fit the definition of an ambush, but its still ***** sucks, and it should not happen in a game.

That's when I leave. I'm mostly a domination player. I enjoy its push/pull atmosphere...even when my team is losing. OUKH corporation recruitment active. Initiate enlistment protocols.

That would make doms more even. At the most advanced suits in public matches should keep these fun. Team work is also the key for an extremely fun and bloody match. -holds arms in O- throw it in the story basket bro

I want domination to be a fun back and forth situation. As it is, the simplest fix would be to have the point be held for 3 minutes then it goes to another random objective point. (It has to be random so you don't have 12 people waiting on it to spawn). I would play that all day! /fades away

A Strange Game.
