It's tactical- just the majority of the players (such as yourself, obviously) are too stupid to take advantage of that. Zerging into a deathtrap gets you nowhere.

Apparently it's not even a punctuation-using man's shooter.

Fine - you asked for it.

Tactics:
An action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end.
The art of disposing armed forces in order of battle and of organizing operations, esp. during contact with an enemy.

Your weak assertion of your point doesn't even touch upon the true meaning of tactics - yet we need to give you a full analysis on our end on how you're just blowing smoke? How about share with us instead how your point makes any valid sense? What other game on it's competitive level requires as much coordination to be successful as dust? Twitch shooters are a joke for this very reason.

Las Vegas is another good example of not being tactical - it's hiding behind corners and waiting for someone else to be stupid. There no aim or goal other then killing your enemy and moving on.

Tactics doesn't = gun game. And your first few lines support this - but then you bring up Vegas like it solidifies your point - it doesn't. Dust 514 requires you to have an open comms with your teams and flexibility to adapt to several situations. If you played in PC you would know this. It's for this very reason tactics flourish here. Giving call outs and orders happens every 30 seconds as plans change.

CCP can go F themselves for ruining this game - but please try to keep some sense before "Attempting" to **** off a group of people who hasn't yet been able to think for themselves - cause some of us happen to know and understand the concept of tactics and strategy and think you foolish atm.

Play RTS for a bit and uses these points at why dust isn't tactical to explain why WC3 is trash next to Rome Total War - you'd be a laughing stock.

"It's not tactical because other games do this too."

Lol?

Weak points are weak. The depth CCP spoke of are there RPG elements to begin with. Regardless - with map size and customization of suits and using variety in your teams - it is more tactical then most. You're blindly ignoring this.

Maybe I should push that point a bit harder in the other posts - but you'd think saying, "You require a lot more then running around to win." Would of been enough.

And just to remind you, Look at your thread topic and what it says. You've already denounced it yourself.

And to cause some more burns:
Definition: In Video Games, the term tactical generally applies to military, or shooter type games where the missions require some level of planning in order to succeed.

^ how does this not define dust?

This part.

Also proof of why so many people are bad at this game. Use cover pubbies -.-

Learn to use cover in game or get squashed. If you ever watched an Imp training video is empahsizes on these points - and jumping can be argued to say no game has done it right - would you enjoy not being able to hop over a railing and need to walk around it? The jumping is simply something people do to advantage of crappy hit detection.

Your argument so far is pretty weak still. Though admittedly mines not much better since it's RTS biased.

Bunny hoping is people taking advantage of poor hit detection in the first place - it's sorta pathetic. I can't wait for it to vanish and be replaced a mechanic to allow better use of terrain cover to give a more 'tactical' feel like you speak of.
