Better tactics and troop deployment.

So neither really.

I guess maybe I framed the question wrong. It seems like people are contending that turrets and vehicles were major issues in the battle. So what created more of a damper for victory; vehicles or turrets?

I would expect better tactics to win the battle, but there's always the "X" factor.

[quote=olssam 62]... I've earned 2mill a day roughly all week playing militia fits in preparation and not cared about my k/d. Possibly more...

I'm really surprised at how WTF appears to be poor losers in regards to the latest battle.

Both teams played in the same environment.
Both teams could have requisitioned the same available weapon systems.

Yet, all I hear are excuses.

Congrats on your win, SI.

ignorance is bliss.... keep on trolling

Irony much?

does not work on the interwebs...

So once more... This was on 5 pt map? New one with C center and spire? Or old one with Biomass/Comms?

I've said it since the beginning the drop ships should not have rocket launchers. Instead they should be using a rapid fire weapon a more powerful HMG perhaps? Same with the tanks.

Those dropships are like never ending precision strikes.

At the very least, they need to at least place a cooldown on those blasters in the dropships.

Seriously good players will always stick to that what works the best and because this game has a lot of vehicles which are very strong they will use that. if you don't stay on a competitive lvl of gear you will get defeated.

To be fair, everyone can use dropships...

With that said, I hope this makes it clear for CCP that the turrets are way too strong.

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!

well duh, CCP shouldn't of been balancing this beta based on non Team vs.Team matches in the 1st place.

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

But I can't take out of my mind this question : why the game was so stable against GAC (a EU Corp) on a EU server ? It felt like a game. Against you, it was a war against lag and game playability. It wasn't a game at all, because with the same forces than you on our side, we won't have a any chance either...

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

That's true...

Well, I really don't blame SI. And obviously, I didn't see before this morning that you could fit small missile turret prototype on a milicia dropship with so few SPs (WTF?????)... Add a gunner with passives turrets skills, and it's really OS all the time. Well, I'm working on my piloting...

But trust me when I tell you that I aimed a tank with a Forge, HUD was red, standing on the road in front of him (he was aiming C, not me) and bullets just went through !!!

So tell me how was it possible to Sir Meode to make 40+ kills with a dropship everytime in mouvement with same lags that I'd got ???????
