Take your proto goggles off and look around.

It is really a shame proto stomping seems to be the funnest thing to do for the EveTards.

You seem to be coming from the Call of Halo school of lack-of-thought.

The fact is, this is not Call of Duty. This is not Halo. This is not even Battlefield, though that's the closest in overall gameplay feel. This is very much a tactical, squad-based shooter.

If you lone wolf, you will die. If you run-and-gun, you will die. If you neglect your skills in favour of immediately unlocking Gun X, you will die. And if you neglect your loadouts in favour of pure gank and no mind to tank (be it armour, shield, or speed), YOU WILL DIE.

Umm...I agree to a certain extent, but not entirely. If you're a good FPS player and you have 1 mill skill points spent well you can beast.

Also you can use a murder taxi until you get enough sp to run and gun. It's terrible, and I hate it, but it works.

Edit: not sure if this advice will exacerbate an already rampant problem, but w/e.

I have yet to use a single piece of BPC gear in the game (and I'm from the first wave of closed beta invites), and I have no problem holding my own... WHEN I'M IN A SQUAD. I regularly hit 1-2k warpoints per match... WHEN I'M IN A SQUAD. And when I say a squad, I don't mean randoms doing their own thing and no comms, I mean a squad that's working together, using voice to coordinate, calling out targets, and marking objectives (this even gives extra points! If your SC isn't marking objectives, leave the squad, you're LOSING POINTS!). We don't really need matchmaking, what we need is some way of teaching people earlier that this is NOT the console shooter they're used to. This is the shooter skilled PC gamers have been playing for decades. If you don't adapt to this concept, YOU. WILL. DIE.

Half my WP in one match last night was from spawning with militia swarm launchers and slaughtering LAVnubs lol Welcome to balance in New Eden: everything has a counter. Balance isn't about making everything equal, it's about making sure everything has a way to beat it.

This is not Call of Halo, but rather a tactical, squad-based shooter, like MAG or ArmA (or Battlefield played against competent people). You are not SUPPOSED to be good solo, you're supposed to work together with others and help the team win. Eventually we're getting PvE content, though beyond being fought against rogue drones we don't know how this will be implemented. If it's more eve-like than, say, Resistance 2's cooperative mode (think team and objective based pve), it will be soloable, if you know what you're doing. Maybe this will be something you can enjoy. At the end of the day, soloers are a non-issue, as you are not the target of this game. If you still solo anyway, odds are you're not doing much to contribute to victory for your team either; pop that heavy in the middle of the field? Good going, you just let him get to where he's going faster.
