    Secure and Shatter is about resource control and spawn timer control.
    Horde stampede simply don't work and that is such a breath of fresh air.
    Don't follow the crowd, be a lonewolf in Secure just to kill and steal outpost.
    You should try it sometime
    Since 1v1 kills are essentially impossible, this reduces to grabbing unsecured outposts. That isn't PvP. It's riding around on a mount.

    It is possible right now.
    For Melee, you will need Smite (this applies to all Frontline modes)
    Also, when you are sieging an outpost in Secure, you gained damage buff
    This buff makes it also possible for range to kill someone solo
    My average kills in Secure by just solo outpost is around 8+
    This number is decent enough consider it is done usually solo against 2 enemies
    It is clearly SE encourage action at outpost instead of just hitting PvE drone
    A lot people also don’t know that you losing more scores when lost main outpost

    In general it seems people aren't using the outpost buff intelligently. And as to the scoring, it would be nice if it was less opaque.

    I would still think you need a light party minimum to effectively patrol/steal outposts though. Solo once you have flipped an outpost the buff will help you defend it, but you can't flip one solo if an opponent is standing on the outpost since it's they that have the buff. And if the other teams are semi-zerging this all becomes moot.

    Besides, one reason to play team-based PvP is to work effectively with the team. And in my case I prefer to play green dps.

    The problem with NA players is they play every mode with Horde Srompede but this method don’t work in Shatter and Secure (new or old)
    These 2 modes are about resource control
    The number of people that actually PvP and number of people on time/outpost need to be at an equilibrium

    You don’t need light party to took outpost I can ensure you
    NA players are bound to horde stompde and they moved in group, super predictable
    Not only new Secure offers outpost buff it also offers team boost so you won’t be BH thirsty like old Secure when lonewolf
    Once you reach BH3 and know what you are doing, defend side need at least 3 defenders
    You use yourself as bait/threat to exchange 3 enemy units sitting idle at main outpost
    Also as stealer you have more options than defender
    You can go steal other GC main outpost or go to top to farm BH then come back to steal again
    Like I said it is all about the resource management
    This team will lost 2 to 3 resource permanently while you are still contributing

    Not only that, i am also seeing pro knockers start emerges
    Secure is a mode encourages multiple types of PvP styles
    SE did have mechanics in both mode to incentive PvP, but NA players are enslaved by Horde Sompede

    Maybe it would work better if more players were trying to win rather than farm XP and rewards.

    In practice, Secure is a dull 18-minute fiasco that I do not wish to play.

    Like I said each person has their own favorite, but it is certainly absurd to call a mode sucks just because this person dislike (talking about OP)
    I enjoyed that 18 mins of thrill of killed the defender, took the OP, and survived gank of 3 to 4 people.
    Good thing Frontline is a rotation of modes isnt it?
    I dislike Seize; so you less likely to see me in that mode
