Ya not to sound like a douche or get involved here, but you should of expected people to use dropships, of course people will flock to the OP thing thats how all video games work. Regardless this tournament was rushed and is already a joke so i wouldn't feel to bad on urselfs WTF. Hopefully CCP learns from this, all we can ask.

Ya i hear you man. We had the pleasure of playing STB the day DUST got all the money from Eve so we exp'd the never ending vehicle spam too, you take one out theres another to replace it and it forces you to use half ur team on AV. Like i said, all we can hope for is CCP to learn from this maybe, just maybe get some better balanced tournaments in the future. Cause yes for now, Vehicle spam will win you a corp battle no problem(not to mention whichever corps have stock piled assets up from the Eve->Dust money).

All is fair in love and war.... Don't in anyway discount our gun game it's there.

SI played some terrific matches today using what the game provided, and depending on who we face our tactics will change, but in this case Sha's decisions were right on and our players did a terrific job analyzing the battle field then using the tools given to us to control it. Bashing in anyway after the battle is something that should never happen, I'm sure players had strengths on the other teams that were not utilized due to the direction of the battle, but once again its a "WAR game" and if people are confused with the concept :

War is an organized, armed, and, often, a prolonged conflict that is carried on between states, nations, or other parties typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality.[1][2] War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of political violence.[1][3] The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare.


Armies will always use the best tactics and weapons in their arsenal to win said battles it is part of the techniques that make up "Warfare ".

Great job to everyone who participated, and to those that won or lost with dignity!

CCP should have added corp support LONG AGO... then they would have massive amounts of data in regards to how these maps are REALLY going to be played, how gear and vehicles are REALLY going to be exploited and how the economy is REALLY going to flow...

For a game that the entire concept is centered directly on CORP (clan) meta game and tactics on large scale maps in an even larger universe....

I wonder why they have waited so long to actually start beta testing the CORPS ...

This current beta build and this tourney are a good start in the right direction by CCP in my opinion...

Getting back to the core roots of the very concept of DUST 514...


The Mercenary Corps

After first two matches CCP resets servers.
If this helps.. good.

dedicated vehicle users putting all SP gains into one area thats how

Thing is though, that proto gun on militia assault suit will eat up over half your cpu. It doesnt eat half your cpu on the dropship.
dropship can fly in circles with no tank mods needed and avoid getting shot. Militia suit with proto gun has no tank and dies by ground shrapnel flying up into his eye when a missile from dropship lands 10m by him

I do hope one is not suggesting foul play.
