Perhaps add time limit on cru shield tethering. would be pretty messed up if you could spawn and just sit there for 5 minutes.

better placement of large turret installations.

i mean they looked pretty where they were all located but hardly any of the locations were feasible and didnt really provide any good lanes of fire.

Love your points and agree with you in every step but 1. War point allotment by position is no go. I'll be seriously salty if I can't benefit from being a logi in a pub match to help out blueberries that get me killed a lot.

I understand your point, and I agree that you should get a reward for doing you job well in the match, but on the other side I think that Orbitals are not the best way to do that. I am ok with accumulating points throughout the match for doing your job well, but I think those points should contribute toward some personal boost or bonus rather that a team tactical bonus.

I think Orbitals (air strikes) are a powerful tactical tool that both sides should have the same access to. Weather both sides use this tool effectively depends on the tactical skill of the squad leaders. I also think that this tool should not be limited to late in the match. It should be a limited resource that makes a big impact if you use them at just the right time, rather then just trying to get one off whenever you earn enough War Points. I also think that earning more War Points through Orbital kills toward gaining another Orbital just made stomps worse.

Call the points for Orbitals and other tactical resources Tactical Tokens or something, and have War Points build as they did in DUST but use them for some sort of personal power up.

I'' still not sold on uplinks because I think that they are poorly designed with respect to DUST/Nova's theme. In my experience, Dust was supposed to be a slower paced, position-based, tactical shooter.

Planetary conquest was a good example of that theme. In PC, many people complained about a lack of defined war fronts, because it wasn't fun for someone to be able to just drop a clone pack anywhere they wanted on the map. Functionally, uplinks are the same. Positioning is way less important (and way more difficult) if someone can appear at any moment. I am also not a fan of the BF4 "Spawn on squad mate" option, largely because it makes it impossible to gauge the strength of your enemy. You can't know if you'll have to fight another enemy right when you bring the last guy in a room down.

I would suggest that each conquest node have a carrying capacity and range for uplinks to be placed in. The uplinks would
Be active for your team until the opponent completely flips the point. At that point, all of your team uplinks tied to that node are destroyed. This would allow people to defend points that they can actually defend, or push points more aggressively with forward uplinks. It would also allow players to eliminate uplink spam through basic gameplay and prevent people from beaming support in from anywhere on the map.
