My comments weren't fashioned at Checkmate , I could care less what others do in-game but my concerns are about the games health and make-up in general .

If he took that as a poke then I'm misunderstood and I ask him to forgive me but that's his preference .

I'm talking about why this games numbers DO NOT GROW and how mechanics are mismanaged or flaws are left unattended in order of placing more content in a game that has so many things wrong that need to be addressed FIRST AND FORMOST .

I care about the health of this game and would love for more people to play and feel welcomed , I would love to see new faces and TRULY NEW not ALT's .

There are multiple posts like the one that was written by Checkmate so my gripe wouldn't be specifically directed towards him and that really won't be fair to tell you the truth to just single him out .

I don't have a problem with him .

I do have a problem with mismanagement and the fact that the numbers of this game is stagnant for a system that has millions of it's units sold with multiple years on the market and very few people involved in this games community .

That's my problem and something that I just don't understand .

Fix the glitches , running and getting stuck on terrain , broken mechanics in-game if it's weapons ... suits ... bonuses to roles , headshot multipliers , designed maps or game modes , these things should be first on the list instead of new content added to a fragile and unstable make up of the mechanics in this game .

Things would run so much more smoothly if these things were addressed and some emphasis were placed on these issues over ways to make money or add new content .

I for one , don't like to introduce people to this game and then have them to tell me what's wrong with it and those thoughts are a reflection of how I feel or what I know to be issues , sometimes I want to be wrong , not that I'm always right ... far from it but to not have any influence on a persons opinion and to have them state issues that I know are REAL problems says a lot .

Many people that I have spoken about Dust to eventually wonder why I still play this game which they look at as a failure but I see it as that's something that they just don't understand but I could also chalk that up to issues that are not looked at as important to the developers and that's why they go unattended but they are killing the potential of this game as a whole .

It's just no excuse why this is constant .

Didn't mean to take a jab at Checkmate . Wasn't my intention .

Listen, extending warbarge times will NOT result in randoms going "LOLHey, lets make a squad"

If you want to make squads we have SQUADFINDER.

Gear restrictions should never happen as well. I like to think of ADV gear as the mainstay gear. Basic gear is budget gear, and Proto is what you pull when you NEED to do something (Like take an objective).

Blues need a lot more help than what you are suggesting, but none of your ideas will fix it. They NEED a better tutorial. Such as how to make squads, knowing when to pull out what gear etc. etc.

For example: Was playing against some friends yesterday in Fac War. My blues got horridly cloned in the city, despite my tryharding to ensure that we always held majority points. Chatted with my friends afterwards, and they said something very profound.

"Blues need to realize that they can't spam militia into the city. That place is a meatgrinder, and you NEED HP to survive down there. Spamming MLT or Basic is just feeding us kills over and over. "

These are the types of things that need to be taught in academy, not "Heres your 10 matches, get out, HAVE FUN".

Most of our problems in this game can be solved through a better NPE, which mainly consists of giving the vast majority of players in this game a decent amount of common FPS sense and tactics.

I think the reason so many people like Dust is directly related to it's difficulty and depth. I don't think you are going to get much traction asking to have public matches reduced to solo only game modes where you get some time in the warbarge to build up random squads.

That would suck for everyone when the answer for the sane human would be to find a better group to squad up with. I hope they don't dumb down Dust to the COD lobby shooter level.
