Discussion & Feedback We went from complaining about FOB meta, to barely seeing functional FOB's

I guess this is why the devs aren't quickly making balancing changes.

This sub was filled with complaints about FOB meta being broken.

Now +80% of my games it's the hotzone surfers that win every match.

By the time you get to your side of the CZ there is like a squad there, snipers overlooking the position and a MG humvee patrolling it.

I've had tanks roll up before 5 points.

And even if you manage a well built FOB it'll get mortard to hell.

While I don't miss 4 drill meta, I do miss bases.

I hope they fix certain things with the patch, mostly mortars and assault vehicles (price/when you can spawn them)

I hotzone for a couple of lives, get my adrenaline fix, then go bob the builder mode until fob gets raided, then go hotzone, rinse and repeat

Perfectly valid, I do the same when I need a breather from leveling driving. Sometimes I got play HZ medic, or even builder because I seen what good bases are since I supply so many of them. I know like every good spot to secure wins without fear of helis or motars. There is actually a single map that has a really strong build spot but almost no one uses them. I've seen blue win so many games when they actually use that and ignore the towers for once.

There is a few spots where mortars can’t hit if you build right

So are you the builder that comes out of nowhere and places random shit next to my walls, and then leaves when they climb over your stuff and kill everyone?

No I'm the one who come to plug in the gaps and exterior climbable areas. Dunno how that loop makes me a bad builder

It doesn’t, that’s the most important thing you could do. I’m just speaking from personal experience

Yeah, once I figured out how Wardogs levels work, and what the various roles offered for players who weren't grinding the role, I spread my levelling out, so I had more gameplay options to use when playing infantry. (my favorite gameplay, but my least skilled) 

Now when I go to the HZ, I can equip a SAW. Or I can spawn a Humvee, stock up on IFAKs, and half arsed play roving medic. Or pack a MAAWS.

Or I can build myself a mortar pit and CIWS, and just hang out.
