- North Vietnamese vs the US forces.
- Colonial Army vs the British Empire.
The list goes on and the message stays the same, attacking head on isn't the only way to win a war.
Those were all the weaker factions in the war. So what was your point again? |

Except one of the most notable examples of AWOX in DUST was a complete failure.
Let me make a timeline for your simple mind to understand.
- OP said you are weak if you need to AWOX.
- A bunch of people were mentioned, proving the OPs point.
- Abu Stij wrote a long winded post that I didn't care to really read because in fighting against the OP he supported the OPs claim.
Any questions? |

You're saying that BETAmax not knowing how to successfully AWOX means AWOXing in general is a failure. That seems to counter what Grief U has been able to accomplish successfully.
How did you come to the conclusion I was supporting the OP's claim when you didn't really read what I wrote?
That seem's quite illogical. And nothing I said supported the OP's claim outside of "if you only look at it in military strength sure, but they found your weakness and used it to their advantage. They came out on top in the end, you didn't." which was only mentioned after the fact and is still true.
AWOXing in general is failure. It is a failure on CCPs part for leaving such a gaping hole in the development of such an important aspect of the game. It is a failure in the fact that it is a one-off disposable asset that may or may not even work. And it is a failure because people like you think it is some super James Bond type ****. HEY GAIS I HAZ TOONZ IN DAY CORP FOR SPAM PC, LOLZ. The whole mechanic is just silly, and the fixes people are posting for it are even more so.
If you want to AWOX do it right. Actually infiltrate a group and steal intel, gain directorship and clean them out. Kick everyone from corp before a PC match. Clean the corp account. Steal clone reserves and plant them on your side. Just joining a PC match and talking smack and team killing is petty HALO bs. I attribute it to getting a full Warthog and driving it off a cliff. There is no emergent gameplay here. There is no amazing tactics involved. Just petty silliness.

You're assuming that there aren't people doing that *right now* but just aren't advertising that fact. I know there are people doing just that, and I am not against it. I'll even support it. But what these other people are doing in PC matches right now, it's not even in the same vein. And the way they are celebrating it like it is some huge accomplishment just irks me. Oh I got onto a team and then shot them all, I'm so talented.... Give me a break.
