I wish there were more SP for assisting team members and completing objectives. Right now you get so much more by just getting the highest number of kills possible. If you can sit still and kill 2 players or run across the map to attempt to hack something, you are almost always better off in terms of total SP yield by going for more kills.

The SP grind makes it worse. It seemed like far more people were going for objectives and actually trying to win when there were increased SP rewards.

Actually I would like to keep the title in the hope that more players like Staz explain why they don't help hack an objective ect. I'm not saying you shouldn't suck as a nOOb, I just want people to think about why... If I get time I'll do a "Tony tells you how to play : Skirmish" and understanding the mentality of people who haven't played FPS games before, or ps3. Like Tebow saying about soft definition TV's having a useless minimap.
I'll change title a bit.

possibly they're fighting on non HDMI which i learned a few days ago is a huge disadvantage, the radar blips just look like fuzzy blobs, no way to tell what direction they're facing

why u dont see teamplay among randoms in DUST is the same as any other game.
ppl dont use mics
ppl dont like taking orders from some random they randomly got in a game with
there is no sort of pre planning to organise who will use what fits etc etc
no one uses teamchat im sure most dont even know u can switch comm channels

this is another reason why tanks **** infantry (along with the lolavnerf)
this is also why a small grp of good players can absolutely run train on an entire team of unorganised randoms
teamplay is never present in pubs which is why i hate playing with randoms

Tell me what i'm doing wrong, but I have no idea how to kill a tank. If i put 6 rounds from a swarm launcher into a tank and it takes less than 5% shield damage, how am I supposed to kill it?

Are you using militia swarms? because militia swarms wont be able to do a thing against the more advanced tanks.

Go proto, or go home.

I'm new at dust & still trying to figure out WTH is going on. Been checking forums & reading all I can find & still lost. This is a much different game then I am used to (BF3) & it will take some time Hope u will bear with me.

Yep just Miltiia swarms for the moment. If i want to go purely anti-vehicle is it worth it to invest in Forge guns and amarr heavy suits or stick to light and swarms?

CCP allowed group hacking so why don't you do it?
CCP put in a an objective mode, why don't you guys go for the objectives?
CCP put in the ability to customise your fit, why don't you make an Av fit which isn't a heavy with swarm launcher?

Answers please. I've had game after game where I am winning things for my team. Pick up the slack FFS.

I have given up rushing to counter hack. People "cover you" instead of helping. I just shoot my friends who are "covering" me. Then hack it once it goes red and try to fight off the invaders. I look forward to friendly fire.

I've noticed a definite lack in teamwork, not many Logistics/Support roles out there... I constantly feel like i'm the only one throwing down nanohives/healing/reviving, and it's not very often I see other people throwing down drop uplinks... seems like everyone just wants to kill kill kill.... Personally I get way more SP from filling in those support roles than when I go straight kill loadouts... I came from MAG, and it really saddens me to see so many CoD type players, teamwork in this game straight demolishes anything a single player can do alone... And just one more thing I hate... running to revive someone and they decide to respawn when I get within 10 ft of them... Randoms need more teamwork and more support roles

ppl like to keep sayin "cod type players" yall do know that EVERY game is like this in pubs on ps3 right?

Have you ever played with someone who is colorblind? They check enemies and allies by shooting them to see if they take damage. >.>

You will be in for a whole new level of annoyance if you think that people just dinking around like that are aggravating.

Colour problems need to be fixed. There needs to be a couple of colour blind options. Heck, I don't mind sucking up a few shots so that the dude knows I'm a friend. If he'd just help with this hack...

Regarding CoD not being a team game, I'd ask you to look at the kill streaks. Flak jackets, UAV, counter UAV, black birds, emergency air drops ect were all team based.
Just because people dont understand, doesn't mean it isn't a team game. Just like Dust ATM. It's lack of understanding.
