just wasted 16 minutes of my life waiting in 2 8 minute queues for ambush, I just gave up in the end.
see CCP this is what happens when you don't fix things, nobody wants to play ambush because of broken smart deploy, red dots are forced to spawn on the only uplink and get mercilessly destroyed. The blue dots know this and won't take out that uplink because they know the enemy has no choice but to spawn there.
but hey new skins are available in the marketplace! yeh let's add more aurum items in instead of fixing things from over a year ago!!!! |

yeh ive been playing that a few times tonight, I just want to play something other than domination, I keep getting the map with the catwalk.
ambush is fun sometimes because it's quick, all out team deathmatch, I just want some videos for my youtube channel, I'll try when it's not so late in the night but I would have thought DUST would have been very active now.
I guess it is though as the domination queue is like 1 minute long...I just want to go back to good old ambush, without smart deploy! |

ambush is pretty pointless right now. It's whole selling point is it was a quick match for roughly the same rewards as a skirm/dom. Now it takes forever to get into a ambush match. In fact you'll probably never see one if you que up for anything else at the same time. Even when you get into one it's probably horribly lop sided so either you'll stomp the other team, they'll stomp you.
Even when everything 'works' it's still usually a loss because the maps are so freaking huge, bigger than a skirm map that teams spend half the match looking for each other. You end up taking 10-15 minutes to finish any ways with far less WP to show for it due to no objective hacks, bonus's and less clones to kill. Far to many ambush matches these days time out, making the whole game mode rather pointless. If you wanted to spend 15min on a match you might as well do dom or skirm.

The old ambush was a good game mode. Battles were fast, win or lose most matches were over in under five minutes. You never went into the old ambush matches thinking you would go 30-0, you knew you were going to die and just wanted to take some of the other guys out first. Even fater they removed vehicles from ambush the old small maps with crazy random spawns were great. You never knew if you were going to spawn right in front of the enemy team, behind an enemy or what.
This made Proto elite not want to play ambush and they tended to stick to Skirmish. This was a great thing as it gave new player a game mode they could play to learn the game. One as simple as possible with no real objectives, small maps and few valid tactics. Given no KDR fantastic would touch the old ambush it was a pretty good place to have a match.
Unlike now where people go full proto, some times with officer gear in a freaking ambush match. Stomping the heck out of the other team and wondering why it's so hard to get a match....

I just question it to see how many people here are playing it. I don't like it very much and I guess the queue times are short for domination but you play ambush or used to, for the short queue times, the franticness, lack of objectives so everyone's at each other's throats
but larkson is right, it's normally just hunting down the last guy, letting it time out, killing a group of enemies then moving to their spawn, some games are broken up like that but sometimes it's all out chaos.
so it may be a bad thing, but with smart deploy fixed I think people will start to value ambush more.
the only reason I like ambush is that I can make shorter, easier to watch videos which are twice as fast to render and upload to youtube  |

Just que up for skirm and ambush. That's what I did last night. I know well over half my matches were ambush. Wait times ranged from around a minute (give or take 10 seconds) to one where it was well over two, but ONLY one. That was between 5:30 and 8:30 PM Central DST (22:30 to 01:30 UTC I believe).
I'm WHERE?!
