I would like to just run around and shoot stuff for a change. Dust to me now is essentially just running from vehicles. The worse part is if someone runs, they show up on radar (even though they don't show up when they fire a shotgun right next to you. I guess running is louder than firing weapons in the future), but when a tank moves, it doesn't show up so you have no idea you are about to be instant killed. Of course if it is close enough you can hear it, but I often have difficulty telling "Is it a team mate tank that hasn't rolled onto my radar yet or is it an enemy tank that is dangerously close"?
Anyway, I know it would be disrespectful to pilots, but it isn't as if they can't play with another fitting. You are given 4 infinite fittings to choose from.
It would not be difficult to implement this. You don't even have to add new maps, just give us an option like "Ambush (24 mercs)" and "Ambush (24 mercs) - No vehicles".
Some people might say "That doesn't make sense for the same war to be fought in the same place in two different ways, it's like an alternate reality". Well, it already doesn't make sense for the same war to be fought twice in the same place specifically by European players in one war and American players in the other one. |

Yes, we pilots are given four different and infinite fittings, but it isn't fun for our skills to be rendered completely useless, wear crap suits & weapons, and constantly get mowed down by that shiny CreoDron rifle the other guy who decided to skill for infantry gets.
I'm sure that there will be maps introduced that place a huge emphasis on infantry warfare, such as buildings, where vehicles really have no place. Until then, though, grab some AV (or jump on comms and ask for someone to pick up AV) and take it like a man.
As a side note, your point on US & EU servers. This is a beta test, and since CCP wants to test how servers work across the world and how they can interact with each other, they're kind of essential (for now). Don't expect seperate servers when we're in full release. Single Shard universe ftw. |

How far can you miss the point in a single post?
Wow.
Vehicles are practically infinite IN THE CURRENT BUILD.
It's been confirmed they WILL be limited in later versions of the game, and you WON'T be able to spam Dropships, Tanks, etc. for a laugh by release day.
It's not a lasting problem.
And no, having an alternative "we don't have tanks" reality wouldn't be a coherent idea within the framework of a game tied to a MASSIVE online galaxy like New Eden. |
