I honestly can't remember the last time I played in a good game of Dust. Every match is a stomp, but not even the stomps of old where the stompees would at least put up a bit of a fight. They just AFK or redline snipe. It is equally unsatisfying whether you're on the stomper team or the stompee team.
It's a sad situation since the actual balance of the weapons and suits is as good as it has been. CCP simply provide blueberries with no incentive to leave the redline if their team is losing. The game is designed so you hemorrhage ISK if you attack the points on a losing team, but get the big bucks for hiding back at the MCC. This makes no sense whatsoever from a lore perspective and is an atrocious design for an FPS. Such a waste when the core game is actually in a pretty good place.
Six months or a year ago you would OFTEN have games with players on the losing side with 20+ kills, and with most of the players within 50m of the point. The game was horribly balanced, but at least people played it. But now you never see more than three or four of the 'losing' team near the point, and typically no one has more than 10 kills on the losing side. Teams just give up they moment they go behind, if not before. If you're on the 'winning' team it is a struggle to find anyone to shoot at. The map is so empty, and games drag on forever. You sometimes used to have games like this, but not every single game (in Domination at least).
PS - I realize this is GD, so this thread will inevitably fill up with terrible players telling me about how I could be as great as them if only I did the moronic things they do...
PPS - no, you can't have my ISK, scrub |

Quote:I find it's only like 1 game per night, out of maybe 10 games.
I went 36-5 yesterday which was OK, it was domination, the objective flipped, they had a lot of heavies but everyone else on their team was in a MLT suit. I was in a <500hp lolfit which probably didn't help me dying.
Other than that we got redlined the next game, next game we redlined them and they camped on the roof.
I find skirmish to be unplayable due to the size of the map. You're right though dude, it's boring.
I don't seem to get games like that anymore  |
