Holy crap, this actually seems to make a bit of sense!

I figured this was going to be a whiny child screeching "Delete the MD!" Cause they seem unable to understand that you are supposed to out range it to kill it.

Edit- But, I find you numbers a bit overkill, these would make Breach weapons OP. I'll respond in a bit, when I have something more suitable to replieing in a quote.

Why would it make any sense that an assault rifle with a lower rate of fire has more kick?

You've got my attention with these numbers. I like them.
I do have a question about the Breach AR, are you talking about a basic Breach AR doing 70 damage?

Please don't.

Just... no.

When I'm shooting an enemy while I'm near a railing, and there's a reason for me to want to jump, I DON'T WANT A CONTEXTUAL ACTION OVERRIDING MY JUMP.

This should be a dynamic action when you jump at a railing that's low enough in a non-Heavy suit, or in a Heavy suit with a non-Heavy weapon equipped. It should NOT be something that interferes with player control.

UE3 (the engine DUST is built on) was also use to create the dynamic vaulting and sliding animations shown off in Mirror's Edge and a similar dynamic system in Brink, in which you could continue firing (with reduced accuracy) during acrobatic moves like this. Brink also had a size-based movement system with small, medium and large body types, each having its own movement profile, much like DUST. A similar, but less in-depth, system would be great here.

I remember I used to play a game (forgot the name) but it only had 1 weapon. That weapon was a accurate, high damage rifle that could kill in 1 - 3 shots. The only reason it wasn't OP was because EVERYONE had it. A few months after the game was released the creator added in 2 more weapons. Then all hell broke loose and the game kept getting weapons nerfed and buffed and no one was happy. In the world of FPS nothing is ever balanced, ever...

Hi OP,

Thank you for the well-written post. I have two weaponry-related questions for you , if I may:

1) How would you respond to claims of AR "every-role" superiority evidenced by Duvolle proliferation in PC?
2) What changes, if any, would you propose to bring balance to CQC?

Best Regards,

Gotcha. I think. To clarify ...

CCP's Intent:
The AR should be highly effective at short range and progressively less effective at medium and long range.

CCP's Execution:
The AR is highly effective at every range.

Your Intent:
The AR should be highly effective at long range.

My Question:
Should the AR also be highly effective at short range?

If not, what changes would you propose to make the AR less effective at close/medium range?
If so, would we not have more of the same? A continuation of AR being highly effective at every range?

Why?

No context makes the numbers pulled out ur ass meaningless.

1.4 Aim-Assist ... does this change anything proposed by OP?

Wow. What's the title and purpose of this thread again? Here's an on-topic idea and free bump:

---

HMGs, Nova Knives, SMGs, Shotguns ...
These weapons win in close range. Yes, they can even beat Duvolle ARs.

Laser Rifles, Tac ARs, Sniper Rifles ...
These weapons win at long range. Yes, they can even beat Duvolle ARs.

Assault Rifles and Unscoped Variants ...
These weapons win in medium range. No longer the best at every range.

Aim-Assist:
Remove it. The "Shooter" in FPS is suggestive benefit which scales with gun-game.

Not trolling here. General Discussion implies dialogue.
Reduce the above points to rubbish! With maths and logic. Or not.

How to fix dust


remove any and all forms of aim assist (I use a gamepad btw)

Different turn speeds for different role suits, ie; uncapped for scouts, slightly capped for assaults, more capped for logi, heaviliy capped for heavies
