I absolutely hate how easy it is for tiny groups of people to wreak total havoc on a large base because it takes dozens of defenders to protect every single weak point in them. This helps at least a little.
Also a stalemate is not the same as a battle that takes longer than 10 minutes.

So you were never at Zurvan where it was being held for hours?......
A Stalemate is a Stalemate.....Is a force going in 1 direction vs a Force going in another direction...with little room to flank at all so is all just a push vs push.
Their is already enough of this in Planetside..

Biodome is a huge stalemate.....
Come on, the shields are always a stalemate....the levitation pads are usually a stalemate

Stalemates only happen because people make them happen, people stack at the places that give most XP and never leave. The game doesnt punish players for staying in a losing fight since the resources are not meaningful, and they also don't affect infantry player at all. (unless you use C4 like a madman)

Defense difficult....Not for me.
It was quite easy to defend and hold Zurvan for hours....Some of the best battles took their.
As for Sense of Direction, their was one....there was a place where enemies were coming from and a general flow but with more openess.
Big Sandbox deathmatch?...Fighting with no stalemates and limited ways of attacking arn't some COD/UT wannabe deathmatches.
I never had a problem looking over my shoulder, is quite fun but like I said their was a flow in the AMP station of where enemies were coming from even with jumpads so you do know when an enemy is potential behind u.
Stalemates happen because the game doesn't allow too many ways of Flanking and attacking....It just allows a few predetermine ways of getting a base so the defenders are already waiting so the stalemate happens.
Also ADS players love stalemates....and Planetside has quite a few ADS players.
I prefer hip/twitch combat.
