"game mode limitation"? You do realize nobody is suggesting to take out a game mode right? The point of this is give players a choice. Last time I checked, having more game modes = more things to do.

I still can't comprehend why people have a problem with adding another game mode just for infantry?!!... like... honestly, what's the big deal?

Except these would just be "modes", the main purpose of Dust is FW an district control and all that jazz, and those will definitely involve vehicles. So yeah, you don't have to invest in AV to play an infantry only mode, but you do( or at least need someone who has) if you ever want to play at a higher level.

lol there's like a 3/5 chance that someone will call in a tank in ambush, it's like .5 in OMS.
Skirmish has more tankers than OMS for some reason though.

I don't think that they don't realize the dangers of infantry, it's that they know that their will be very little AV in Ambush, I blame that on the absence of supply depots. Essentially most tankers stick to ambush because it's a safe bet. It doesn't matter if it's just militia AV or how expensive your tank is, if an entire team switches to AV then your tank is going down, but that will almost never happen in an Ambush match and tankers know it.

So yes, I think Ambush should infantry only, tankers still OMS. or we could add supply depots to Ambush, but then what purpose does OMS serve?


Ahh, right

Hell, if tanks were OMS and Skirmish only then I would actually call them under powered, but in Ambush? No.

Getting rid of dumb-fire for Swarms was a dumb idea, just saying...

We do need more variety in regards to maps, and 2 of those maps have CRUs and Supply Depots for some reason... but I also see no harm in an infantry only mode.

The player base is already split to late to bring this up

1. Then those players are choosing to not get the complete Dust experience, but I think that's a choice they should be able to make. Just like I don't play skirmish cause I find it boring.
2. I can't think of any weapons where that would be the case. Maybe the Plasma Cannon once we get it, and Swarm Launchers if they ever get dumb-fire back, but it's not something I can really say for sure.

No offense, but that argument is dumb. I have Proto FG and never play Ambush to learn I need it. I have Adv AV nades, never played Ambush to know I need it.

I had Swarm launchers lvl 2 while I was using militia assault suits. You're telling me, people NEED to play Ambush to learn they need AV?

I still think infantry players would benefit from infantry vs infantry servers. People against this are tankers, or people too lazy to hunt tanks on skirmish.

Posted back when we got advanced technology and we discovered that instead of tossing dirt clods that advanced technology such as rocks was much better.

Anywho heres the original thread asking for infantry only maps:

*cough* Ok, so if you are referring to communication, biomass, etc., then I have to say no. The enclosed areas are not havens from tanks. Infantry are corralled there, pushed back by tank blasters and their splash damage combined with basic infantry support, allowing enemy infantry to safely approach and grenade spam, then rush in to mop up the remaining injured players. And since the new spawn system is the way it is, this now becomes a spawn camp area unless people get smart enough to wait until the last person in that area dies before they spawn in..

Until better maps are made then having OMS for everything and vanilla for non-tank related engagements is a solid mid-ground while we wait for these maps to be streamed in.

What the heck is even wrong with an FPS being like COD? It's one of the best FPS out there.

Kills per... doctor?

That would be an interesting stat.

Yes, I know what you meant, but I'm sleep-deprived (it's almost 8am. I'm not normally up this late), and that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it.

If you have to ask.... it's probably you.

And I can confirm that for you. It is you. You're calling a weapon that is slow firing, deals severely reduced damage to shields (almost all suits are shield suits these days), one of the most difficult weapons to aim at a distance in the game, the only handheld weapon besides the forge gun and laser that can hurt the user, almost entirely useless against enemies at a higher altitude than you, and has devastatingly limited ammo capacity a noob tube weapon.

But let me put it this way... if it was a super easy noob tube, where are all of the cheap little CoD players who would love to exploit it? I've seen plenty of people try, but 90% of the time go back to the AR because it get's too hard to use. Where are all of the noob tubers brah? 'Cause I'm lucky if I see one mass driver in a match on either team, and when I do it's usually me because I got tired of shooting the AR.
