Wow, a lot of Domination hate going on here. I can see where a lot of you are coming from, but for me, I really like Domination. I really like it, mainly because I still suck at ArmA. Its more of a learning experience. I mean, I've played ArmA for a while, but I still suck at it. Yeah I can move in a fire team, follow orders, and put rounds downrange with out killing teammates, but I am no where near as good as other players on the server.

The central issue is, is that I can't improve my skills outside of Domination. For instance, my preferred role is a transport pilot. That being said, in the normal missions we play, a transport pilot screws up once, crashes into a mountain, and well, the mission is over. So I never play transport helos, because I don't want to ruin missions for people. This means I never improve my piloting, never get more confident, ect, causing me to miss out on a large part of why I originally loved to play the game.

Domination is a place where people can learn to play TG, where people (like me), can be educated on proper fire team tactics, proper weapon deployment and usage. That's where I learned how to play ArmA, and play TG specifically. I couldn't have learned in missions, I die far too quickly.

I think there's a place for Domination at TG. You get out of it what you put in. I've had some incredibly fun times recently. In my last 4 times on the server, every one I've been with a solid TG squad lead that directed missions, coordinated the squad, and really had us moving quickly and professionally. I really enjoyed it, especially because when an insertion went bad, or I took that inevitable stray bullet, I didn't have to wait 45 min to get back into the action. I could learn from mistakes, and improve my skills in a much less strenuous environment.

Anyway, just my two cents. That Domination ArmA server was what got me interested in TG in the first place, and actually what got me to register on the boards. Some really good team oriented missions when it was just starting out really opened my eyes to the community and the fun of tactics and simulations.
