Perhaps it would. Once. The second time the map would simply be a race to that location and websites would list them all. This might be more entertaining in the PvE mode we're going to get, but not the PvP.

Dust is part of EVE, and everything in that needs real, tangible loss. Tanks dotted around the map is essentially 1-2Mil ISk for free.

I have to say that I'm not really fond of this. It smacks too much of the old school shooters where you had to know where each item spawned to get the "uber" guns. In this case it isn't item spawning, but you still have to hunt around and know the "annoited" spots. I prefer the maps to have logical layouts that make sense. Sure, there should be some nice sniper spot, but not some secret, hidden access.

Sounds fun and great... on paper.

Put it into practice and you end up with a DUST version of a Halo 3 match where everyone knows where to go for a stray weapon or a parked vehicle.

The point here is that the idea is only fun if A) you make those hidden spots change randomly and never appear in the same location twice even after a hundred matches and B) you never introduce vehicles.

Sounds interesting, but I agree that it would break the feel of the game. This game already seems enough like Halo for me.

Maybe if they had Easter Eggs of some sort, maybe like a crashed ship or other anamoly that could hint towards what might be included in a future update.

Yes, you've said it statically in every post you've made in this thread.

There is nothing random about that.
