Every time there's a software update or a feature announcement we're doomed to listen to people complain about how the game is going to fail, they're going to leave, things are still broken that are being worked on, etc....
I saw a post yesterday that actually gave a description of how gameplay was playing out for someone that was kind of cool. If you have a match you just loved, can you give us the play by play  Some of us are stuck at work while you're banging out the dents in this giant metal sandbox. |

So, I am at work too. And I hear the giant metal sandbox just overheated
But I did get up Godawful early this morning to get a few bouts in
I love the new maps. Notably: the orbital artillery map and the other industrial complex with five objectives.
The multi- level complexity with lots of stairs, ramps & ladders makes negotiating this map very challenging.
Once I get into a player corp and on to solid comms I think things will rapidly improve
While far from perfect, the game feels much more stable.
Leaping through the force field in the launch bay of the MCC and dropping to the battlefield is cool
Blaster turrets turn speed feels very quick and responsive now. And I was killed a few times by lav blasters, so that weapon system has obviously improved.
Remember how CCP said that instant battles would automatch players based on wide criteria to offer a less lopsided play experience? I wonder if that system is in place. And if so, I wonder how long it takes to build up enough data to match-make effectively...

Some are just nay-saying bull but others are valid concerns. I have a thread regarding one of those concerns that's pretty controversial at the moment. |

And how does this lead into a story about an epic match you participated in so that I'm less bored at work? |

Well with current tester base being so varied its more than likely impossible to apply a change without directly nerfing or buffing someone playing so no matter what is done balance wise its most likely going to **** someone off |

well for your entertainment guys I'll try and describe a match that I did with my brother (Mostly it is humorous). WARNING: I admit that I am not the best player around but I try and have fun playing the game.
Ok First me and my bro squadded together and spawned on a Skirmish map, (The new one) I was just starting out testing the Laser Rifle and so the first thing I did after spawning in the MCC was shot the first blue I saw just so I could see the awsome laser beam. I jumped out of the MCC with a couple other people looking like HALO (High Altitude Low Open) Jumpers. We ran over the the nearest turret nest and I jumped in a Blaster turret and watched my bro's back while he called in his Baloc. After killing a few people that were trying to run from objective E to objective C I jumped in his LAV as his gunner. We then proceded to dirve like mad men around the map (trying to) killing everying that we saw. a Swarm Launcher guy hit us hard and I jumped out of the LAV thinking that it was going to die any second and I whent after the guys that were shooting AV at us. I killed a guy with a grenade and looked up to see my bro comming with his LAV that had been fully repared. (His LAV was at 0% when I jumped so I didn't expect to see him alive) I jumped back in and started shooting things with the missle launcher again, we started running up and down a street trying to shoot the guys on the bridges above us, and a Blaster turret kept on shoting us. almost killing us a couple of times but every time my Bro would get out of range and repair again. I was getting tired of that stupid turret so I ran up the stairs to go and kill the gunner and hack the turret. I got to the turret and lagged out. next thing I know I'm back at the merc quarters raging at the server. I did dies about 3 times that match with 7 kills and about 500 WP |

Skirmish on that great big wide map. 3 people diddled in the corner -- something like 2000-3000 wp from doing NOTHING to really help up with any of the objectives and 1 of them had 5 kills from stupid spam orbital strikes.
Almost everyone else called in an vehicle. It was kind of epic seeing 7 lavs roll out as we went to conquer. Chased people around the objective with the platform and tower until I got gang-raped by 5 reds. Respawned then called in another "Holy Kitten" and went back for more. Had a much more accommodating time established a foothold near the objective and repelled an advance from their spawn. |
