Todays Battles usually consist of me looking for the enemies, often way more than half the batlle. Well not that I play much ambush these days....
Making the maps much bigger without increasing player Count don't seem so wise now does it?...

Somehow I don't think your enemies enjoyed it one bit. Even back then proto stomping was prelevant.
The only thing I would say is the TTK was better back then. Battles were more drawnout, even matches could hould out for as long as 45mins, 1v1 engagements seemeed to take a lifeime.

You Call that a proto stomp????
Thats nothing at all. That was a fair fight for all involved and we were only 3 players after all. Besides, the SI dudes on the other team didn't have such a bad game.
No a proper stomp involves 50-80 kills on one side and 10 Deaths or less on the other side. So far I've played 3 80 clone ambushes without my team losing a single clone, we even came very Close in a Skirmish once, 2 Deaths I think.

They had advanced gear at best, you had proto.
Sorry, mate. That's protostomping. It wasn't a horrible stomping, but it was nonetheless.

I miss that map. It was one of the two places I dropped an orbital and got more than 16 kills
Though what I actually miss is the 80 clone ambush. WE NEED 30 MORE! please?

Making the maps much bigger without increasing player Count don't seem so wise now does it?... Maybe stop running full proto? Or overusing cheap stuff like core nades? Not everybody sits on 40mil SP and can afford spamming full proto ad infinitum. You've got gungame but you try so hard agains squadless NPC corp scrubs... and then you say the game is boring? Give some thought to the <10M SP scrubs afraid of leaving their MCC, after reaching 0/5 in two minutes of a game.
Oh no, wait. You still want to stomp, your problem is that IT'S NOW POSSIBLE TO HIDE FROM YOU. OH. Poor you.
Good game, KingBabar.

I was in a Nyain match today, on their side. We had seven tanks on the battlefield. The match took ten minutes to win.
Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters.
Just let me get a couple mil more before nerf, CCP!

I miss spawning in the midst of 3 red guy. Scary when you had a sniper and no sidearm, hilarious when you had a shotgun or RE. (though it did help me learn to quick scope)

anyone remember the days of finishing a match. your blood is pumping hard, shaking with adrenaline. i always had to have a smoke of the good stuff to calm my nerves. you actually had to think on where you were going to go. Sneaky or all guns blazing. today's version of the game imo is ruined with the scanner, the spam of tanks and the ttk.

Overusing cheap stuff like core locus nades? Really? Really?
FU Orenji. I just spent 6 months playing witthout a nanohive FFS. And With todays TTK tossing that nade may just aswell be a Death sentence cause I normally Cook for 2-3 Seconds before tosisng, ample time to kill me With a militia AR or whatever. I don't in any way or form overuse Core locus nades, there are strings of several Battles where I don't toss a single one. Now that hitdetection is (over)fixed my gun is far more effective most of the time.
"Try so hard against squadless NPC corp scrubs"? Again Really?
I try to win every single Battle, every single engagement no matter what. (Well I do the occational trolling.) Every single good FPS player I've ever encountered has this attitude. I'm so sick of People telling me/us to tone Our game Down because we have to take into consideration the poor feelings of the lesser skilled and newer players. This is a jobb for CCP and everyones else, not me.
It says a lot about the mentality of the Dust community when "trying hard" = doing what you can to win, loosing isk as a part of carrying the rest of team, using insanely expensive Equipment, and giving Your all in every fight is considered as a negative.
I don't glitch, cheat, use modded Controllers, camp, snipe, tankspam, DS spam, camp on high positions or automatically uses the latest FOTM. I'm normally the dude sacrificing several suits to flush a camped enemy out of an easily defendable position. I'm a player that promotes fast paced "in Your face" gameplay, you know, FUN IMO. I'm not part of the crowd that brings the game Down to a longe range camp/snooze fest. Hell I don't even use dirty tactics like LAV/HMG combo, or Fatty/RR or whatever People do to get the current biggest crutch.
Yes I do use a suit that has about 10-20% more EHP and more fancy Equipment than most, but then again, I very often go up against larger Groups of players. So going solo in proto vs lets say a Squad in Advanced gear and suddenly its Natural for me and indeed anyone that uses proto that taking that entire Squad Down alone is just damned easy, you know, cause I use proto..
Yeah I'm the big bad wolf ruining everyone's game.

That map! I remember running up the rocks and cleaning out the trash below. Chromosome was intense - when I didn't know what each player would bring and when black suits gave me fear.

I continue to be baffled by this bizarre hatred of proto gear. Use whatever you can, the difference in gear is negligible compared to bad decision making.

I hope your joking, I use militia gear most of the time and I finish above average. I use full proto and my K/D ratio never dips below 10. So much respect for using these instant killing weapons.

Here I try to make a point about how the smaller maps used to make the game more intense and fun. You spawn in at the beginning, 2 Seconds later you spot Your first reddot and then there's hectic activety until the game finished. And all you crybabies can do is come and point out that I'm using a protosuit.....
@English Snake - Yes ambush is definately on average the most intense of the pub game modes. Skirmish and dom are unfortunately mostly filled up With lots of players that does all they can to avoid a fight. There is much more camping on high ground, camping in the redline etc. And LOL Dom, me and Tosh played 6-7 games yesterday, just us 2 in Squad and 60-70% of those Battles the enemy team barely got within 100 M of the objective, there were plenty of snipers, rail redline tanks and dudes in turrets behind the redline. I don't think fighting for 2 minutes and then spending 10+ minutes to wait for the game to end as any form of intense, which is most of the games these days.

You're very welcome to join Our "Rainbow Office" chat and Group up With me, lets see how easy it is and how much you can keep up With me, or indeed outperform me. Hell I'll even doubble Your isk loss.
So tired of hearing "if I could be bothered to us proto it would be so easy to og 20-2 in any game, but I just can't be bothered so I'll stay n my enhanced suit and og 10-4, cause thats so much more impressive".
Protosuits give a slight edge over enhanced yes, but come on, its not that big.

There we go, wanna Group up With me and show it? I'll give you 100 M isk if you can get as many kills as I can during lets say 10 games and still have a 10 KDR. Thats a very good offer indeed.
Boosting the KDR by playing it safe is very easy indeed. Keeping a high KDR while still being very aggressive and top the killboard in most games is not that easy.
