First off, players need to understand the spawning system and use it correctly however since ambush will always be filled with idiots that don't know how to use that system, then you have to counter it in a different way.

In this case, calling in your dropship was wrong and only hurt your team, because it probably prevented someone else from calling in another tank to go after the enemy tanks.

Finally, people are under-utilizing the one advantage of the commando dropsuits right now. That is versatility! When enemies start using tanks, then commandoes should shine. Basically have one assault style weapon and then put an anti-tank weapon like a plasma cannon or swarm launcher in the other weapon slot. Now you can kill both infantry and vehicles. If everyone did this, then tanks would die a whole lot faster.

Nothing Certain Bioshock Rejects 385	Posted - 2014.03.31 20:14:00 - [16] - Quote It is partly the spawn system but to me it is more that people have an idea of how Ambush should be played and refuse to deviate from that. The solution to the problem was uplinks but if you wait to long then your opportunity is lost, if you don't put some distance between your links, your opportunity is list, if you don't protect your uplinks, well, then you get "smart deployed". So the problem to me is that people want to be able to rush at each other going pew pew rather than playing strategically, then expect smart deploy to fix it. Because, that's why.

TYCHUS MAXWELL The Fun Police 119	Posted - 2014.03.31 20:18:00 - [18] - Quote I think the in flux of new players with 1.8 seems to be what is ruining most matches, at least for me. Sucks to be the worse of two bad teams. Just had a match earlier where we had 8 redline snipers on dom, while I was alone on the objective fighting a swarm of militia suits. Eventually I just gave up and sat in our redline. I haven't seen match ups like this even when I was in the battle academy. Can't tell if people have just given up on the game or if we do in fact have a ton of new players because since 1.8 hit every other match has been me trying to climb to the top of two awful teams.

I loved the random spawn mechanic. When the time comes......

The idiotic spawn system was. With a better system, tanks wouldn't have been able to just drive off to the next spawnpoint and gun down infantry as soon as they spawn.
