I'm convinced most people in this game lack basic map skills.

it is not skill streaks... probably a typo... i meant kill streak..,.

pfft i call it a killstreak if i want
like i said its a pointstreak/scorechain or whatever MW3/BO2/MoH has had before its nothing new on how u obtain it

go watch the new MoH trailers and see the scorechains, u get a certain # of points for either killing and/or cappin objectives and u get a reward whether it be offensive like an airstrike or sum or defensive like flak jackets

I've managed to trigger an Orbital Strike's availability by hacking a Supply Depot.

I can safely say that wasn't a killstreak.

It's squad-based, not an individual achievement.

Don't worry to much about orbital strikes, just call in a support fleet and prevent the enemy from using one.
I'm sure you can't use an orbital stike in the future, if you don't have a ship in the orbit.

lol i said killstreak as a joke
cod/moh dont do sole killstreaks anymore they do scorechains/socrestreaks which is basically the same thing u dont have to kill ppl in cod/moh anymore to obtain them but playing the objective and assisting the team nets u points towards it

so again CCP isnt doin anything different here despite what alot of u try ur best to believe
am i bashing it? no
im just opening ppls eyes to what the OBs currently are for those of us who bash on other games for the same thing that has found its way into DUST........only difference? only the Squad leader can call it in which i guess helps cut down and the spam that would be goin on

so bottom line its the same thing with a slight tweak not something new that CCP thought up

My group has the OB completely figured out to the point where we can almost call them down at will.

This game hasn't done anything new besides trying to link an existing MMO with a new FPS.

Skirmish is a rip from COD/MAG/BF
Ambush is just TDM

I haven't seen one original game mode and we are two builds away from launch. (kinda scary if you ask me)

BTW conquest is a rip from SWBF

inb4fanboy's attack me.

im pretty sure the current way its in now will stay for hisec matches

I totally agree, absolutely. TDM was invented by COD/MAG/BF so was Skirmish.

Don't be fooled people, these aren't just the normal FPS match-modes that have been around since Doom Deathmatch, no, these are special and were invented by only the last run of FPS games on console and have never appeared anywhere before.

And fie on those who say that MAG/COD/BF just copied the same game-modes from prior FPS's - you cannot find a TDM before COD, nor a skirmish mode before MAG. All MAG game modes were original and never copied form anyone, in fact, ID copied from Zipper 15 years before Zipper were incorporated, that's how good Zipper and MAG are.

And there were no FPS games before consoles, and there were no consoles before the PS3. And if I didn't see it personally it never happened.

Oh, and don't forget, anyone who has played FPS before MAG and remembers those modes elsewhere - you're a fanboy and your opinion doesn't count. So there.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

u make no sense #justsayin
