Dust still could learn a thing or two from MAG. First and foremost the communication system. Squad Leads should have a direct line to other squad leads. In PC matches, hell even pubs, vote for a FC. Who can talk with the other squad leads or the entire team. Would like to see a squad lead bonus also. In PCs this would be great, pubs it would be a mess. Maybe bigger and more bonuses for each member in the squad.
Also think about Role Commanders! At the start of the match you pick your role.  I run Logi so I will use that as an example. As Logi commander I would have a line open to everyone who selected Logi as a role, squad leads, and the FC not only that but when the logi roles are wearing a logi suit, the commander gets a bonus. T hink 1 HP/Sec armor regen for each logi role in their suit. The regen would be an AoE around the logi commander.
Just some random thoughts that occurred while standing by MAG's deathbed. Feel free to expand on the idea. The commander bonuses should be the equivalent of a proto type mod, but with AoE (Area of Effect). Heavies might be a damage reduction, Assault RoF increase or damage, scouts speed, or dampening. Sorry tankers but you are OP enough and don't need any bonuses. |

Agreed. This would make my job a lot easier and improve the flow of command and strategy in this game. FC, preferably commanding from the MCC, would give orders to squad leads who would in turn relay those to their squads. That way everyone isn't in team chat so you can still stay in close comms with squaddies. Dropships would have a much easier time because squad leads could tell them if they need cover or extract.
This also adds an extra element of skill to squad leaders and FC's, good communication and multitasking are needed. +1 op
Edit: also when I'm flying with my gunners I'm constantly communicating with them. Calling out targets, shifts in the flight path, where they should point their guns, and asking for their ammo and reload count. It would be good to have the pilot have their own link to the other squads and can still communicate with gunners without talking over other squad leads. Communication in a dropship is key. |

There was a proposed commander mode, where a player insode the MCC would be in charge of all ground communications and tactical support.
This guy who is responsible for Comms bridges between squads or units, for providing Squad Objectives above and beyond that of the squad lead.
Then you produce equipment specifically for use by a squad, such that a lone wolf without a commander would not benifit.
We would be talking Binary Flares, Laser Designators, Homing Beacons that kind of thing.
We don't need to be to complicated by going into Logi Commamders, Assault Commanders etc etc. A good battlefield is an atomic battlefield.
Where atmthe very base of it is a self sustainable task-force.
That means they can operate without a chain of command. Pretty much like how Publics work now, but imagine everyone else on your side is alsomin an organised 6 man squad. In the event of Command collapse you are still capable of operating within your group.

Implement of roles, more strategy based mechanicks, bigger amount of terrain, clan deploy, proxychat and more and more. CCP shangai should take a look, MAGs gameplay was awesome, even with some lag after bust of zipper team by sony, it was still playable and fun to play. Dust builded its name on massive playing, but where is that massivenes, i personaly want bigger groups and more, in what MAG was awesome.
If CCP shangai take look and some inspiration, DUST can be better. Nothing less.
