there is no such thing as gun game in dust.

lol why flux? Can't take out uplink spam without flux.


EDIT: Its SyNergy btw

I use Flux, I just added it because I didn't wanna single out those poor core locus

Yes there is, it's just non-apparent in PC

No, there isn't. Every movement to your aim has a delay on it since Uprising and with the increase of strafe speed in 1.2 it has reached the point where there is no possible way for a human to track a target via reaction. Most of your so called "gun game" is actually instinctual guesswork, and folks who pride themselves on it are overconfident of their own abilities.

Furthermore, moving objects in Dust still do not have fluid movement as the netcode gives every person a kind of "slideshow shuffle" as they run. As long as player movement does not appear fluid there is no way for a human to do anything other than guess which will they will turn. Even an individual who jumps into the air can change direction on a whim, rendering prediction ultimately useless.


I too would enjoy Dust being an actual tracking shooter, but currently that is not possible with mechanics we have been given. Do not fool yourself into thinking you have proven gungame in Dust, because you don't. No one does.

It's all very well saying all that, and I do know exactly what you mean and I understand that is apparent. But that does not dismiss the fact that using weapons other than the aforementioned 5 is far more prudent in what I'd deem a 'good' fight. There are bugs and all that **** as we all know but hell at the end of the day, a gun fight is a gun fight and I'd much rather in not be against a spam-weapon. See my point? I wasn't trying to question the physical mechanics of the game.

I don't know how long you've been doing corp battles but its the way its always been done since before PC. People will always use whatever they have to to win. In the begin it was tanks/missiles then when we finally got off of manus peak it was all about getting up high with md and vizam. Its just the way the game is. Between the map layouts and the horrible lack of balance with weapons/equipment this is where we are.

Kinda sad that the best battles i had in PC where when we agree'd to not use certain weapons heh.

1) Mass Drivers
2) Core locus Grenades
3) Flux grenades
4) Core flaylocks
5) Ishukone assault forge guns

Just putting it out there, are any corporations interested in gun game anymore or is this all it comes to? These 5 weapons is all I see in PC battles and it kind of sucks, I get they all have their tactical advantages and things like grenades and forge guns are fair game.

But, well idk I'm sure it seems all 'QQ' to you forum warriors out there but it just gets boring, I find it hard to get into a good 1 on 1 in a PC match because I see a freedom mass driver coming at my gallante ass and I'm like "Well game over". There's not much I can do, considering I only am at 9.5 million SP and I'm faced with Proto mass drivers 90% of the time.

I just ringed for Valor coalition against Synergy, and GG to both teams you all played well but, damn it all I was faced against was mass drivers, forge gunners, and Mavado's tank ofc xD

What happened to good gunfights? Do they just not matter any more?

Well, I used to do corp battles all the time back in... say Jan-March kind of time, but then I quit Dust, and came back for PC. The old corp battles were better, at least, the matches I played. Fights against KEQ, WTF, BetaMax, PRO, PFB etc etc. The problems were apparent to a degree then but not quite as severe, the problems then as you say were more area-denial based not CQ spam.

You talk to me as if I'm unaware of the problem, that's the point of my post.

Didn't mean to talk down on you or anything, i guess my posts are a little aggressive since all the qq/hate recently.

So if you are aware of the problem what is the purpose of this thread? Just a rant i guess? I mean I don't see any other point to it especially for this section of the forum.

As long as there is FPS games and a competitive community to play them, they will always, ALWAYS go to certain weapons,equipment,tactics that can help them win.

Don't call in vehicles I don't use a forge...

Nades are a huge part of any shooter tho, so qq about them is a lost cause

Yeah just a rant to be honest, not exactly any less productive than the rest of the threads going around at the moment xD
But yeah, this ain't a QQ or ***** at anyone, I'm just mad at the game ;)

Haha your right there, then in my defense to my orginal post, let me rant too bro:P haha.

But ya I understand man, think everyone(even the people who usually keep quiet) are getting fed up with the game, hence posts like these.

1) Mass Drivers
2) Core locus Grenades
3) Flux grenades
4) Core flaylocks
5) Ishukone assault forge guns

You got to think if they start to nerf everything this game will loose more players then it will gain, the only thing what doesn't bother me Is the nades I do moan but I live with it (I am armor based myself)

1) Mass Drivers
2) Core locus Grenades
3) Flux grenades
4) Core flaylocks
5) Ishukone assault forge guns

****'s stupid, but hey, DUST is all about who can spam all the gay **** the best. literally almost ALL my deaths were from nades and MD's.

Right so just take away any explosive weapons in PC.


People QQ too much. "I hate being killed by mass drivers, forge guns, flaylocks, core locus grenades, and murder taxis." Stop crying.

You basically want a game without explosions

1) Mass Drivers
2) Core locus Grenades
3) Flux grenades
4) Core flaylocks
5) Ishukone assault forge guns
