It happens in all kind of FPS games from BF to CoD the gaming world over

Well, the community has done it to itself. These guys in the redline are sick of the qsync protostompers. We qsnc all the time but we don't run our proto, in fact we enjoy taking down a few protostompers in pubs with basic gear. It is very frustrating to be the only squad on a sixteen man team doing anything, while the rest hide or give up.

It is a growing cancer in this game, the recent matchmaking has made it a little better, but until people put down the proto and run ADV, this is what we have. A truly skilled squad can still run effectively without running the god mode suits.

We've done it to ourselves people, no one else to blame.

q-syncing is fantastic I love it saves my suits and you know you have support....your squad is doing most of the work anyways might as well just replace a few more blueberries so that your squad isn't the only one doing the work. Also its always fun to play with your friends.

"q-syncing in pubs is for scrubs..FW is for the real players"....well FW payouts suck ass and don't pay for the lost suits so you can see the issue why people rather q-sync in pubs more profitable. ( Ill admit I still do FW though just cause I cant resist it)

What does q-sync even mean.

The problem is that everyone hates on big or top corps/alliances with little to no reason like if you enter a match and see a squad of AE, ppl automatically think they're going to use proto or spam tanks when really its ppl from the 10 other players useing proto and spaming tank. but nope the blame and hate always goes to the big corp just because who they are and the fact that they finish top of the match leaderboard so they must of used proto right.
if you ask me thats kind of corpist

So I've read this thread and others. I looked into the game EVE and so some things there. So the veteran players can't take their best gear into a fight. That still doesn't make them new. It only evens the playing field in that they need to get hit less. But they still have the knowledge. So they fit their destroyer or cruiser and head and into the area of the game where the new people are. It is knowing how to use what you have that makes the difference. Regardless of meta level. Tactics and knowledge are the greatest tools to success.

Real world example in the reverse. The Regular Vietnamese army could not go head to head with the US military instead they used tactics and knowledge of the land and what they had with them to hold their own. Same thing applies here. You could give the best trained special forces gear from the 70s and 80s and they would still win guaranteed. Instead of this proto-stomping it would adv-stomping.

So let's say they restrict meta level in corporate matches to adv or below. And those same 12 queue together. Do you think their chances of success are that much lower because of gear? I don't think so.

oh you do you just get killed by a proto rail rifle and blame the full squad even though it was a random that killed you and not the squad at all, who were stomping in advanced gear useing op teamwork
