I don't see the logic behind it. Most people will choose the OMS one, it splits up the player base ans doesn't have much of an impact on anything. Ambush is also less played (from what I know) than Skirmish, most people prefer Skirmish anyways, should've jut changed up Skirmish instead of Ambush. |

I agree, One play list in with random OMS or not on each map, keeps everyone in 1 playlist and varies it around. |

What I've noticed is that the raw ambush helped to teach me many of the basic FPS skills, it goes more quickly, and you can make more isk if you do it right. It is hard for there to be 'battle lines' as the dynamics of the 'center of conflict' is so fluid. Clones degrade much more rapidly this way, but the same amount are destroyed as any other game (except in early redline skirmishes).
OMS Ambush will require a bit more squad oriented teamwork. It can be slightly more tactical as people can set up around/near supply depots. Vehicles could be a little more risky bet as well with turrets that can melt them more quickly or the SDs that let people quickly swap into an AV fit.
I know as a logi, supply depots are extremely important as I am constantly switching between layouts for my 3 equipment slots. First I have a nanohive/uplink/proximity mine setup and lay down a perimeter with the mines and drop an uplink and the hives. Then I swap to a repair, injector, hive build for support, especially if we have superiority. Finally, if it looks like we are going to be overwhelmed, I switch to a suicide remote explosive build with a bit more armor and mine an objective and stage a 'heroic death' that lets me detonate the objective while people come to capture it. |

I think it is all for testing purposes.
From what I have been noticing from the influx of new players is that most are playing ambush and I think the OMS is a more favourable option for those that do play ambush. I think CCP is seeing what types of game modes the player base enjoys most.
I would like the OMS maps have different drop locations on the same maps instead of them dropping in the same place all the time.
Good buy Skim Junction and North and South Ward. |

If the OMS one is the current skirmbush setup (skirmish spawning in ambush) then I doubt it will be popular at all. Pretty sure everybody hates the redlining in ambush garbage.
However playing ambush without any supply depots really sucks, darn newberries never throw down hives.
As for ambush vs skirmish, I personally prefer ambush most of the time. Less devastating when your teammates suck beyond suck, as I can still go largely positive even if everybody else on my team goes negative. In skirmish if your team sucks, it's redline central, where many sacrifices have to be made if you want to get out of it (if you can).
Success in ambush is mostly reliant on your own skills, success in skirmish is nearly 100% dependent on your teams skills as a whole. |

I think the split will be fine. Sometimes I want the assets to spawn on the map, but they never do, other times I don't want want them but they spawn anyway.
Having the option whether you want assets or not is good IMO |

I know I might be wrong, but I played 9 games of Ambush last night and never once spawned on top of the enemy. I think they may have fixed it.

No, you're just lucky (or unlucky, if you like spawning with enemies and potentially getting some easy kills)
Most of my matches last night had some spawning with enemies, don't think either video I uploaded really has it, though... |

I agree as well. When I read the Announcement I was like "Really? That's the big difference between the two versions? That's IT?!"
Way too minor of an aspect to create a separate play mode for. UNLESS the regular Ambush mode is overtaxing CCP's servers since the game went open beta, and this is their solution. |

ambush to me is preferable because i dont have some annoying tryhard screaming at me to hack some stupid point when i'm busy killing ppl instead.
but this new ambush sux i spend more time running than anything. i really wish they would give us back the old i can't be the only one here who liked an actual fight.. |
