Well I do see it as a good OB and sniper counter, so I support them

What part of "Team-based, Objective Oriented" game indicates 1v1 should mean anything?

Go play Ghost Recon Future Soldier if you want "Team - Based, Objective Oriented" gameplay

so they will be implementing a way for mercs to be able to put up a static force field on the battle field. This sounds like a cool idea, right? But do we have to add another obstacle to killing your enemy?

I remember one of the first things that I did not like about the game when I played my first game....and it was the fact that it took so long to kill one enemy. I just see the whole 1v1 aspect of the game just getting watered down.

Can your attacks go through is my only question.

It better not be able to withstand an orbital >_<

Maybe having installations that produce shields, those I could see holding up to an orbital...a little hand held equipment? No way.

Cool idea and seems practical. Although it does remind me of the bubble shield from Halo 3.

Go play cod if you want "1v1" gameplay, see everyone can do it and it gets us nowhere, so lets not do it.

Or Dust. I hear Dust is meant for "Team-based, Objective Oriented" gameplay. I'd say I could be wrong, but I never am.

I AM a flying pig after all.

Go play Ambush and talk to me about "Team - Based, Objetive Oriented" gameplay. Rec the video please.

You mean the mode where a coordinated group of players using flanking tactics and working together can almost always dominate against unfocused lone-wolf play on the other team?

That Ambush mode?

Good way to support the guy you were quoting. I hope that was your intent.

The beehive barrier is an old trope that actually dates as far back as 80's anime.

Just Lol men, I hope you're not talking serious, any "normal/good player" alone wins 7/10 at least of the ambush match just by his own.

Use your brain men. Ambush is a joke for "team gameplay".

Good way to support a bad game mode.

meh.. mixed

More often than not, BOTH teams in Ambush are full of players lone-wolfing, and a good player tips the balance.

When one team has good lone-wolfing players, and the other team has better coordination, the organised team using good teamwork will end up winning in spite of a couple of guys on the other team going positive by a larger margin than anyone on the winning side.

Really? I find it's usually filled with both sides on opposite ends of the map with LRs, ARs, and SRs.

The team with the most filled out squads usually comes out on top, indicating some teamwork. I don't really believe it's a lot though. Most squads, when present, are usually corps, corps with the skill and equipment necessary to actually be successful in corp activities, so they're usually overkill for Ambush's less stacked side.

You can have all the teamwork in the world, but it will do you no good when you get taken out within 3 seconds of receiving fire from a single dude. I learned fairly quickly to say "Nope" when I see that the enemy team consists of a few imperfects, STB, Zions and a couple of no corp affiliated people while my own is listed as the generic names. It never ended well back when I was always put into an on-going game and i'd like to have fun while grinding my SP.

If there's only one guy who is a good lone-wolf, then yeah, they're going to lose. At about three though, victory odds are fairly good if your own team doesn't have any lone-wolves for counters.

As for Shield Transporters OP. I wouldn't mind them blocking enemy orbitals, so long as it isn't something they can instantly pop up as soon as they hear the siren/horn thing. Give it an animation or warm up time or something.

I mention 1v1 and the whole conversation just goes off on a tangent. For the record, you can have 1v1's in a team based game..it happens quite often.

But it is besides the point...forget the 1v1 argument. Why are more defensive crutches being placed in the game. Resistance is being buffed and offense is being nerfed (all of the weapon damage nerfs). I'm just saying that although these things (like cloaking and shield generators) sounds cool because they are new......they may end up turning new players away because it will take forever to kill people.
