DUST Search - New ambush spawns

CCP Frame wrote:

Dear players,

Today DUST 514 will go offline for an extended period of time starting from 11:00 GMT. Server is expected to come back up at 12:15 GMT. Today's hotfix will deploy following changes:

Fix to the 'Gorewreck' GK-13 Burst Assault Rifle missing aim down sight dot
Improved spawn mechanics and new spawn locations for Ambush game mode with biomass or communication outposts on maps. After the downtime please provide your feedback on the new spawn locations and mechanics on these maps right here.
Two new game mode variations - Manus Peak (OMS) and Skim Junction (OMS)
Improved some map performance
Contacts will now sort alphabetically

In addition, CCP Draco would like to explain further our ultimate goal with Ambush spawn system changes:

Ambush deployment has been in need of an overhaul for a long time and hereGÇÖs finally the first step towards a better experience.

The new model calculates a rating for each deployment location and drops you into one of the best ones. The rating takes into account all enemy troops and vehicles around each location, using weights based on their threat level. In addition, the rating is also affected by nearby team and squad mates, as well as allied vehicles. So you can still end up in a firefight, but youGÇÖll at least have backup close by. Squad mates are highly rated so you are more likely to end up next to a squad mate than a team mate.

Due to the short time frame, this is just a sample of the improvements we ultimately want to get in, and we will closely monitor your feedback to see how you feel itGÇÖs working in large scale battles from here on. Finally, weGÇÖre already working on several additional improvements to the rating system to take snipers and installations into account and allowing for much more flexible per-map tuning. An overhaul of the actual deployment locations on the maps themselves is also underway.

/CCP Draco

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Your Absolut End SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 11	Posted - 2013.02.27 21:53:00 - [2] - Quote I don't want to break your hapiness, but before the downtime I couldn't figure out any diffrences. If I remember right one match was like this: Right at start a redberry spawned in front of our 6 blue dots. And after that I recently spawned in front or in the middle of enemys. So maybe they change it after DT, i didn't played after this. But if they fixed this huge issue it would be awesome.

It was the second match in a row it happened. better but still issues

Knarf Black Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 406	Posted - 2013.02.27 22:14:00 - [6] - Quote I noticed this over lunch. It looks like each team has most of their spawn points on opposite sides of the map. Has anyone noticed if they change dynamically as the battle moves around? Otherwise, people are going to figure out how to camp the other team's spawning zone pretty fast.

So its not working 100%, but I haven't spawned beside any enemies at the start of ambush matches.

I don't see how thats better than what we had. Now we have blob warfare in it's finest in Dust, very very boring combat that any nub can play.
