My biggest gripe is actually with the lagging hit boxes. If that was fixed, aiming would be much more reliable.

No, you're BLIND. The Acceleration is bad, it's too big, this causes making accurate twitch shots impossible. Also, the sensitivity is too slow, needs to be at least 3 X what the max currently is.

Others will agree with me that the aiming is bad.

I have no problem with aiming, just sometimes the hit detection doesn't work to well, and that when i'm trying to rail snipe i can't see the people, only their names

Well, Dr. Allopathy, assuming you're not trolling.....

When it comes to hit detection, i'm more and more of the opinion that it's really a hitbox lag/network lag issue.

When it come to aiming, it's too consistently clunky to be just a lag issue. And I don't think it's the missing aim assist either, since I've had that turned off since Mordu's private trials. In DUST, most of my fine aiming at range is done with the left stick.

I will tell you this - when i play battlefield(Yay free PS3+ downloads) i know the failings are mine and mine alone. When i play DUST, maybe 5-10% of my deaths are attributable to wonky/failed core mechanics. Just guessing about the 5-10%, i don't keep track of it other than by my annoyance level.

The other thing that tells me those of us are not totally out-to-lunch re the core mechanics is the consistency with which they get mentioned in reviews of DUST.

Do you use a shotgun as main?

No?

S*FU then :3

I have to thank you for a good chuckle, Doc. In fact a day later it still bring a grin to my face.

Yesterday. Skim Junction. You and your crew were camping the roof of the mushroom over bravo.

I had gone out to recover echo(edited, had delta originally) and had to make my way back over the open killing field to the compound. So i did the drunken master walk across the field of death. Not sure how many of you were up there, i know i was taking fire from a sniper rifle and an AR. But i made it, tucked myself behind the cover of the wall with 80 armor left to heal up. The sniper had tagged me once and the AR had been landing sporadic pepper on me.

And then you got me, Doc, but it was sooo worth the death when i saw the killfeed.....Doctor Allopathy(EXO-5 Mass Driver)Vrain Matari.

Man i laughed. Still chuckling

Sounds like fanboy speak to me.

#ccpdeepthroat

That's cool.

The tracking and hit detection are all pretty awful. If you think its "perfectly fine" however? It's that blind fanboy scent I'm getting a waft of. And it smells awful.

On a serious note I think anti aliasing is the culprit here.

If you want to see how bad aiming is, run two complex modifiers and run up on somebody with a scrambler pistol. Shoot them in the head after your sprint and you will see the kind of thing I deal with on daily basis. I've had instances where I've shot someone from behind in the head 3 times before the 4th shot finally registers... it's bad. The shotgun suffers from this same kind of lag, it's less noticeable with an AR because the rate of fire is big that it's hard to notice, but with most pump and dump weapons it's the difference between getting a kill and getting killed.

Plasma cannons, flaylocks, and mass drivers all usually go through people if you don't hit the torso, and I guarantee it's not going through their legs every time.

wait...aiming is fine? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You people even play Chromosome? Did you even play another FPS before DUST? If you did, you'll see aiming sucks. Even CCP admitted aiming sucks cuz they're fixing it as we speak...or attempting to fix it.

Btw if your going 15-0 and saying it's fine. Than to each their own.

But I'm going 15-0 and I say it sucks. and I'm one of the last ninja cowboys. (scout with shotty)


also hit detection blows. really? ccp you hate shotties?

Why are ccp "fixing" aiming if it's not broken?

People have adapted to the ****** aiming, they left and are playing something better.

Killzone was designed like that. It had a weighty feeling. DUST wasn't designed the way it is atm. If you played Chromosome you'll see how aiming was, and how it is now.

there's a difference with adapting to aiming, and when the system itself is broken. You're telling people aiming is fine, so HTFU... lol

Aiming has been broken since Uprising was released. Sorry, but if you think aiming is fine, you're an idiot.

aiming for which weapon? are you claiming to have used all of them extensively enough to be an expert? are you making this statement from personal experience? tell me your thoughts on shotguns, ARs, plasma canons, sniper rifles, tell me how you have used all these weapons and came to the conclusion everyone but you sucks with them.

you seem to have insight the rest of us lack, enlighten us.

Any more strawmans you all want to throw at me? Insults and character attacks?

Or have you all realized you have no valid points to make?
