Many players lately don't make any effort at all to be team players.
They have no interest in helping to defend objectives or back up their teammates.
Because of your pay-to-win system, they don't want to take any risks to lose their stupid special suits. They just hide in a safe area and pick off easy targets, completely ignoring objectives or their team.
This is the #1 thing that ruins Dust.
Here's a solution: Penalize selfish players in objective modes.
Deduct 10sp points for every 30 seconds a player is not within 50 meters of an objective, or doesn't make a kill within 30 seconds while being more than 50 meters away from an objective.
Fair? |

No it wouldn't. I only play commando. Anyone who's ever played with me knows I'm always on the front lines.
But to be fair, give heavies a 60 second timer then. |

That's why the lazy devs need to add a practice mode and tutorial already. So new players aren't just thrown in the midst of a slaughter.
But instead, they give them starter fits- to get their hopes up. They'll dominate with their awesome new suits until they run out, and all they're left with is ****** militia suits. Then they get slaughtered.
And the devs are hoping that that's when they will want to spend more AUR to get some decent suits again, hoping that the Starter Fits got them hooked...
But they'll continue to get slaughtered. Because there's no training or practice mode. So what they'll do is hide out in the hills with their new dumb special suits because they don't want to risk them.
Perhaps changing the game model from Pay-to-Win to Pay-to-enjoy-more-game-modes-and-maps might fix this.
If you just want to be a coward and hide, and do nothing to support your teammates and defend the objective, then choose a game mode that doesn't require teamwork or defending objectives. Like Ambush. Don't penalize your teammates who keep trying to defend the objective with absolutely no backup from selfish players who only care about K/D. |

Those are good and fair questions. Maybe limit it to 50% of the team?
I've played SEVERAL matches now where out of a team of 12 or 16, I've only seen 4 near the objective at once.
Maybe a warning message pops up on the HUD of a player who's just walked more than 50meters from Alpha
"WARNING, INSUFFICIENT CLONES DEFENDING OBJECTIVE"
Then a 30 or 60 second countdown timer starts, depending on heavy or not, until 10 sp is deducted.
-10 sp every half a minute to a minute seems reasonable. More than half the team shouldn't abandon the objective for that long.
And if you feel that much of a team needs to be that far from Alpha, then you're just K/D farming. |

You're right. I concede your point.
Perhaps increase the Objective Defense Bonus? From plus 10 to plus 25? |
