I know which i prefer.

I agree with you Snipe, we need these big battles, or the game looses its apeal.
Example
Last weekend during beta, a member of my outfit was mission leader. There was a pretty big battle going on at one of the bio domes, I was sure that was where we were going. When he chose a leaser battle which I knew we were going to take in like a matter minutes. I asked him why we were not going to the big battle, he said and I quote “it’s the same xp, we can get the xp for capping this base and move to another one". We took the base with a little resistance, got the xp, moved to the next one, got the xp, and the next one, and capped 4 smaller bases. I then checked my map and saw that they were still fighting over the bio dome, and in a matter of 20 min we managed to rack up 2k xp and a couple of cert points. Granted we still had a couple of small skirmishes so it wasn’t just a walk in and walk away thing, we made a xp killing as well (Dirty NC).
Is this the future of PS2, just to get xp and certs.
