DUST Search - The first day!

It's early in the morning but so far my first day hasn't been to great. All the matches are red lined in no time, one side or the other because no one is running support. Few uplinks, no ammo no reps. Practically everyone one is a scout or assault. Even the objectives barely matter, no matter how deep into the redline you spawn there are guys waiting to farm a kill. IF your on the other side of the redline, again your that guy suiciding in the redline hoping to even see an enemy.

Not to mention most of my teams have been extremely uneven, last great match was 5 on 16. Started off 5 on 9, but they got a full team before we got even a single person. On average I can expect 5-10 kills in most matches, there is just to much completion at getting that kill not to mention a lot of incoming fire from proto/officer weapons. It's looking like you might have to play 15 or more of these weak matches a day to hit the 150 cap. Considering normally I can get 20+ kills pretty easy normally, but right now though every one is crazy aggressive and doesn't care about winning or losing matches.

Not to mention the map selection for this weak hasn't been to great, not a lot of 'meat grinder' maps in Dom rotation. So we all play peak a boo in vast open places.

So far not a single match I've played went to clones, most barely got down to 100 due to the extreme red line stomping play.

It's happened once or twice someone couldn't pay the price, and I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals.

I forgot how bloodthirsty the high kill count missions made everyone. Mass Drivers, Scrambler Rifles, and Shotguns everywhere. I don't think I've seen anything else at all in the killfeed aside from tanks. I'm scared to think of how this will go when more people realize these missions reset. That said, it's great everyone, both sides, is trying their damnedest to actually stay in the fight. So far every match has been a clone count defeat, and it's been relatively close each time.

AQ doesn't have a clone counter so we could kill each other without worry. In Dom with a 150 clone limit there is only so many people who can get 20+ kills before the match is over. Right? I'm considering unchecking Dom so that I can get into any other match. Hopefully it won't take too long to get hold of a battle.

Yeah, the novelty seems to be wearing off, because my last few matches have been redlined and had over half my team drop. I just had two tanks in my redline and a sniper stealing kills from them. Like, I'm assuming actually watching the tanks for targets, because they'd start firing at someone and then the sniper would blap them as they were running. When the match ended they had 142 clones, I think we had 120? Can you imagine how this is turning out for the less experienced players?

Do you really encounter a lot of AV normally? In most of the matches I've been in I'm one of only maybe five people who seem to even be skilled into it, and I only pack Forge Guns. Tanks generally dominate the field until the opposing team gets lucky enough to score consecutive shots in a short time span.
