HowDidThatTaste Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2242	Posted - 2012.08.20 02:50:00 - [4] - Quote Yep in the old skirmish map played as ambush the first team to group up wins. Like a pack of wolves. However you look at it the map is boring I feel bad for the noobs that will come along its already like shooting fish in a barrel.

Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.08.20 03:19:00 - [6] - Quote KB/M support & huge increase in sniping. Coincidence? :D Blob warfare is good. It can become more coordinated later. Spawn system could do with work in ambush though. 50/50 spawn in no mans land / spawn in the middle of the enemy blob. Just me? Don't be a straggler.

Whispercrow Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 102	Posted - 2012.08.20 03:31:00 - [10] - Quote If it's Ambush where every clone point counts... Yes, then it SHOULD end up as Sniper duels and Blob Warfare. Because you should be trying to LOSE as few people as possible while killing as much of the enemy as possible. The Blob has limited losses and overwhelming firepower while the Sniper has the ability to, 90% of the time, pick his fights and run to live another day if wounded.

Exact same issue. I've spawned at the very beginning of a match, straight from War Barge, right smack dab in the middle of 4-5 enemy clones. At least give a guy a fighting chance. Sucks being spawned out in the boonies, but it's better than in the middle of a hostile crowd.
Y'breq Qin Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 5	Posted - 2012.08.20 04:31:00 - [16] - Quote Blob warfare in a shooting game is good. It means that you have to work as a team.

In all seriouness though, I know you are alot better than me but I am still a little glad I caught you napping. In a straight up firefight you would own me, so perhaps you did pad my stats cause I was having a bad match. You get some "likes" for being a sport though.

Grit Breather BetaMax. 660	Posted - 2012.08.20 15:03:00 - [31] - Quote Working as a team is good. I think what is referred to as "blob warfare" here is too close for comfort. This will probably fix itself once FF is turned on and people have to keep a slightly bigger distance. Also, Tony said he used an RE to take down the blob. This is a sound tactic and is one of the big reasons why real life teams walk at distances from each other. These lessons will be learned and used by the smarter squad/team leaders. Just give it time.

I'll look for you next time we are both on at the same time - I'll fly with you. I love the new DS experience. I have only been on one so far, but it was absolutely awesome! The rumbling on the controls, it just felt really cool. It should be hard to hit stuff too - we're flying around in a close combat situation. If you don't keep moving, you're dead. Pretty much the way it is when people start shooting stingers at choppers I imagine. I think it is things like that which make this game really a step up from other FPS's (among the many other EVEishness too). Don't get me wrong - I think the DS need some tweaks, but I imagine eventually Gunships will come into play and that will be amazing (I hope).

Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.08.20 16:31:00 - [36] - Quote I like being one of the few who breaks the mold, splitting off from the blob I'm with, flanking enemies, and causing havoc by shooting EVERYONE in the back to make them panic and turn around - makes them easier targets for my teammates, and that means lots of assists for me (easily more than enough to get more WPs than I would from trying to kill people for myself). Combine that with being a competent Shotgun-wielding sniper hunter, and there's plenty of lols to be had.
Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.08.20 16:51:00 - [37] - Quote @Crazy do you know how uplinks work in Ambush? Uplinks in ambush = lose. I've camped uplinks before. It's easy points. Rather have 1 bad spawn and get instagib than 20. They're a liability compared to hives (infinate grenades break blobs). You need a minimum of 2 uplinks.

If you place them well, and have someone DEFENDING them, they're good. If you have multiple Uplinks, they're GREAT. If the other team pick them out, you notice fast, stop using them, and deploy new ones elsewhere.

Beld Errmon Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 479	Posted - 2012.08.21 00:34:00 - [43] - Quote I like the way ppl blob up in ambushes, I just wish they wouldn't keep following me, I find i have to turn around and run the other way so I don't have a conga line of nublets stealing my kills, fighting the blob is a nice challenge good for improving your grenade throwing skills and ability to use cover.
