Ok so, something that's been bugging me a little bit that I wanted to share to see if anyone else is having these same issues. When searching for public contracts, excluding domination, it takes 15 minutes or more to even find a battle. But as soon as you add domination to the que, it takes less than 30 seconds. Is this because domination is more popular or something? I like running all types of battles but when 90% of the time it's domination, I'm starting to not like domination.

Also searching for factional warfare has been taking me hours to get into one battle. Now I understand that when searching for just one specific faction might take longer, but come on. I just waited almost two hours (no joke, I have witnesses) to get into one battle, only to get stuck on the victory/defeat screen and then have to searching for yet another extremely long time.

Is there a trick to getting into battles faster or do I just play the waiting game?

Thad why I stopped even trying to do FW. When I log on (right after dt) I can search and I won't get a battle for HOURS. That and I don't like LP.

I don't now the names of the different chats so feel free to add these. Queing without outhers might make you have to wait unacceptable amounts of time. For EU countries facwar usually starts in the evening. As for dom matches... get used to it. they seem to be 90%+ of all the public matches.

Logis repping Sentinels and Scouts running around with RE's rekking everyone in the room. In my opinion, all the other gamemodes favor fast suits, mainly minscouts and minasses, while galasses and amasses tend to camp and guard the objectives with sentinels and logis. Also, in my opinion, Domination maps are the best for snipers, dunno why but it's just true somehow. What... 1.3, when?

Also, in my opinion, Domination maps are the best for snipers, dunno why but it's just true somehow. That's because all the enemies usually are near point making the sniper's task of finding enemies to shoot 100 times easier. And as for logi's repping sentinels, and scouts with RE's, they can still do those things in skirmish matches. Also with assaults sentinels and logis camping at points, well that's what your supposed to do right? in order to win you either have to hold the point or clone the enemy. So no offense, but I disagree with your theory that domination suits everyone's play styles better. I think it's just a matter of in domination all the enemies have to go to a single point, so no matter what your guaranteed to run into multiple enemies that you didn't have to run around the whole map to find. Honestly I think that domination is ruining the aspect of this being a tactical shooter, but I digress. "If we have to give these bastards our lives, WE GIVE THEM HELL BEFORE WE DO!"
