Last night, there was a GCW battle outside Anchorhead. It went on all day. Imps defending a base, Rabs attacking from the hilltop. I was, as always, Imperial.
Melee got shot down (and abandoned) in seconds. Every last special i had (as mSmuggler/mCommand/some Pistoleer) was useful. Terrain features worked. Boulders could be hidden behind. AT-STs did not make a significant impact on the rebs at all. Trenches were used in a real tactical way. Squad Leaders were in their element. All types of armour had different uses and all were in use, properly. Corpses and the wounded were being dragged back behind the lines for healing. Blaster bolts filled the air. Grenades were devastating if you could get close enough.
It was AWESOME
I'm now completely committed to mSmuggler/mCommando/CM0400 as a one-man base destruction unit tactic and my god, this feels like Star Wars! At last! It was...
Ah, i'm still excited over the whole thing. CURB wins. I'm sold. Count me in. Outside of RP, i've never had so much fun in-game. Try it.

None, but with that many SLs, any that showed would have died very fast.

This is VERY inspiring to hear.
It's also nice that you found a good use for MS/MC- Never thought about adding CM to that. SWEET.
I gotta figure out the combat role of MBH in the GCW-

Sounds awsome.
I have yet to see any battles like that. So far, CU combat has been slow and sluggish for me. But... I guess that's because I have yet to get into a large battle.

I just feel if PvP is what would make this game fun they could have just made it an FPS and not bother with the RPG element.
I don't know, nothing I say will make me appear non-whinish so I'll just leave this alone.

You are aware that they are balancing PvE also? I guess fixing PvP on top of PvE was a bad idea....

While you were having all that fun did you notice that the slice option is no longer on the armor radial menu?
All of what you have discribed is great and very easy to find on planetside, ut2004, the HL series and even an old copy of Rise of the Traid.
But are you willing to give up the ability to wear any type of armor you want, carry any weapons you feel like just so you can run through a trench? Are you willing to put up with a crappy level system forcing you into uncustomizable HAMM cookiecutter characters just so you can hide behind a rock? Or maybe it's worth having to watch all the stupid effects, that are never seen in the movie and have no place in the game just so you can... wait, I'm out of pluses to banance the trade off. ... And I still have 10 or 12 handfulls of crap to throw... This whole thing is crap, and that's why it will go live. Because that's what you do with crap: You push it out.
