DUST Search - I decided to play some Dust 514 today

I had a good series of matches. Even had one where I managed 1000 WP holding down a letter by myself with an all BPO fit for almost 6 minutes.

And then we come to my last match of the day. When I came in the match on Line Harvest had just started and my team was already losing the first letter they hacked. I spawned in on foot to try and cap one of the enemy letters and died in the process.

In the map screen I saw some enemies had set up on the hill outside our ground spawn (we were on the upper end) and were trying to farm the spawn. I brought in my Python to clear the hill so we could get back into the match. After a few kills they fell back and it looked like my team was pushing out. I started taking fire from a Railgun installation and started swinging a wide arc around to the right side of the map to find where the shots were coming from.

It was at this point that a Militia Swarm volley came in from my left without warning and did negligible damage because my Hardener was on.

However, the detonation flipped me completely sideways and I had no chance to recover before I was already rolling upside down on the ground and exploding.

I just turned the console off and left.

Sometimes I'm amazed at how I think I'm ready for how frustrating this game can be at times, and then it decides to remind me that I don't even know the levels of frustration it can dish out.

So, while I'm raining salt all over the place, anyone else have ****** deaths recently?

That was just bad luck and in no way coordinated. like this is why games in general, not just this one, go downhill. Because of **** things that happened in this past, despite having a several good games, this one unfortunate thing happens and makes you flip the table and leave. Because a while back the game sucked in some way, and so later on when things have improved and are actually looking a bit better and where it's actually enjoyable, this one frustrating, entirely separate thing happens that, on its own, is entirely negligible, but just feels like it's worse because the only thing going through your mind is 'oh no, not this **** again'. Get over it, man. It sucks, but what were they going to do? Not shoot at you? The thought that Dust 514 may one day be the game we dreamed it to be. It fills you with Determination!

It's the fact his derpship flipped insanely to the point of madness and detonation from some small ass missles hitting him. Yes, and had he not been first initiated by the rail turret he wouldn't have turned and the knockback from the swarms likely wouldn't have been enough to flip him, as he would have been more stationary, thus more in control. He got accidentally double ganked. The thought that Dust 514 may one day be the game we dreamed it to be. It fills you with Determination!
