This is just depressing. Im so burnt out on Dust because of this silly event (100 installations/hacks is BEYOND rough dude) and this just makes me want to give up entirely. Beyond the games notable annoyances like murder taxis, contact grenades etc its hard to keep going when you see something like this.
Word of warning CCP, a good way to losethe interest of the masses is to give them such a large incentive as 100 Falchions for ridiculous challenges. It practically forces the player to endure the repetitive grind and try to push through all the little things that you get tired of after five games.
I can only get by on this thinking these players were all going for Kills/Assists to meet the endof the challenge, as this occured after all the installations were destroyed, but im hard pressed to believe it. |

Mostly just becomes about Active Scanning to evade the blob, speed hacking nodes that're clear enough, dropping DUs in good places in the vain hope that someone, anyone, will try to give you a bit of support on the ground... occasionally it does actually resuscitate a team when they see points being contested and are given a quick portal into the action. More often than not they'll be content to give up the match though.
Id love to sit down with Nullabor and explain that no amountof match making changes are going to fix this problem but I can still hope. Theres just way too many things out there that give an unfair advantage and thats not going to change untiltheyre fixed.
And you know theyre trolling the players when they implemented a 50% off sale on Contact Grenades and still havent implemented ISK variants. |

I did think that today it was weird them discounting those grenades... maybe it's the last chance to stock up!!!! :P
I doubt it. Despitea petition for their removal and a number of CPM reps expressing that they dont belong in the game CCP insists on them remaining for some reason. |

I can only get by on this thinking these players were all going for Kills/Assists to meet the endof the challenge, as this occured after all the installations were destroyed, but im hard pressed to believe it. honestly..... i would have laughed my ass off after seeing this, right before i went up to join them. Whats the point of playing out the game if 9 of your team mates are just going to sniper bang everyone? there is none..... NOT that it matters. What do you want from CCP? What can they do to stop people from redline sniping?? IF there not sniping in the redline they'll snipe on a tower in the middle of the map. Same problem, different location. Its like this for loads of games, so i mean..... i don't think its anything you should get sooo upset about.
Lets put this into three categories
A.) New players going against veterans and resorting to Sniping as they feel they have no other option to gain an edge.
This can potentially be solved by new matchmaking procedures, but with less than 10,000 players its not likely to make a significant impact. Player versus Environment is also very important for this as it gives players a base to work from.
B.) Dedicated snipers who have invested a lot of skill into their role. This can be rewarded by providing new weapons, more dynamic map features forthem to utilize and a more rewarding experience for their role. Battlefield 3 hallmarks on this with bonuses like Savior, which is rewarded when you kill a player before he kills a friendly.
C.) Fall-backers. The guys who just give up whenever adversity becomes prominent in the form of being redlined. Theyre stat conscious and rather than risking KDR reduction by rushing into the frontline tobe killed, they try their luck with a rifle. This can be solved by making red line zones less rewarding to fire out of and CCP has discussed removing point accrual from kjlling someonein aredline or firing out and killing players outside the redline. this wont stop players from redlining teams, but it will remove incentive from doing so.
Honestly, all of these can be easily fixed by implementation of more diverse game modes. Ambush, for instance, lacks redlines and does not have this issue. Does this mean that Redlines should be removed? No. But it does give strong reason to look at other options.

Almost makes me think that they're embarrassed to afk so they just pretend they're sniping. This is what blows my mind. I think to myself, if you want to be a scum sniper at least cover me when I'm down on the null cannon trying to take it. But no, somehow that one bad guy manages to walk up to me and shoot me from behind when I have 3 blue snipers directly overwatching me. Like I've said before 90% of snipers in this game are worse than an empty spot on the team and I look forward to the day some FPS designer is brave enough to remove this anti-team class from their game.
Quite the contrary, a good sniper can makea hell of a difference. There was a player on a roof on Manus Peak and there were enemies climbing up the ladders to kill him. I am entirely convinced that had I not put rounds down range, twelve enemies would not have died and that player wouldnt have been able to get to safety with what little armor he had left.
Wish I had a video of that..
Edit: Was not the skyscraper, by the way, just a low building. |
