AAS in Post Scriptum

Personally, I think it does too much to speed up a game that was meant to be slow and strategic. Where do y'all stand?

I prefer AAS actually, I think it gives more reason to play logi and set up FOBs (You can actually build FOBs on both teams huzzah!) and maybe the biggest thing is that in AAS if your squads aren't talking to eachother you're fucked. Coordinating which squads are attacking the next point and defending the current one, setting up "leap frog" maneuvers to take subsequent objectives etc. is just more interesting to me especially as squad lead, when in the other game mode everyone can just file into the one or two points and not really need to communicate at all to secure victory. I really like the ability to counter attack the enemy and re take objectives after you've busted up their assault.

However, I will contend that with low population count and/or with a "bad" group of pubber SLs AAS can be a miserable hellscape programmed into your computer, with things like the lack of a logi squad to build FOBs and the lack of MSPs becoming maddening after about the 5th time you've had to drive (or walk, if some asshole has just been using the transport vehicles as a one taxi) from main after a death.

Those are some fair points. I just get annoyed when I go to the first or second point from my team's spawn on the map and the other team comes rolling in with armor and holds you there so that you can't effectively contest the enemy's advance and the game is over in 30 minutes or less.

A slow, careful pace is more coducive to a sucessful outcome.
Good Comms identifying the objective w/fire and maneuver elements tasked make for a more immersive experience.
