The only reason it sucks is because of a bad matchmaker. And camping. Don't forget the camping. Camping is a legitimate tactic that is employed by real armies in real wars. And where I come from, they don't call it camping, they call it overwatch.
Real armies in real wars don't obligingly send in 16 man teams to meet 16 man teams over specified areas and wait for their soldiers to get a 'score' before airstriking.
They airstrike the hell out of everything and then send in overwhelming force and armour.
Now, why isn't this in DUST? Because it isn't good gameplay.

As ever, good insights from someone new enough to really feel these problems.
DUST has fundamental design problems that make it extremely hostile to newbies. I'm not a fan of them, but it's difficult to see how some of them would go.
How do we simply rework rooftop camping mechanics so it's not a cancer on the game and is instead rewarding and accessible, for example?
The gap between newbies and vets is substantial and does not close quickly. But it's also fundamentally tied to the monetisation of the game in such a way that even newbies paying in the hopes of advancing quickly have difficulty truly advancing quickly, whilst simultaneously entrenching the position of vets as 'necessary to monetisation'.
I can spreadsheet warrior all day about this, but it would honestly take such drastic changes to really affect things on some of these vital fronts that I don't believe they'd happen.

It's just not fun anymore. If you're lucky, you might get one good game. But in a quick session, fat chance.
Maybe it's bad luck, but I can't seem to catch a break in even these losing games. More deaths to grenades or indirect fire, shooting plasma cannons into groups of 3 on the point and getting 0 kills then headshot sniped, tank rail cannon sniping from redline nails me while killing a pro suit toe to toe.
Just been one of those days I guess... ******!
Wouldn't that be 18 games?
I hope you aren't just adding those up...
Here's some set theory for you.
A match being a member of the set 'loss' does not exclude it from being a member of the set 'unbalanced team games', or 'protostomper games', or 'redline games'.
They can be several at the same time.
