Because you had a giant pool of ******* health. Try saying the same thing after using Scout Shotty for a day.

Then you were here for the wrong reason dust was always designed as a game that was ment to be fun for these "degenerate uneducated plebeian" as you put it or casual gamers as the rest of us call them its elitist scum like yourself that give the gaming community a bad name congrats, Any way this game was ment to appeal to both casuals who wanted to jump on get a few kills and have a good time makes good business sense no? and also has depth for the rest of us who want to forge empires and have experience with more depth that goes beyond insta battles of go in shoot a enemy die and repeat.

It was said that this game was ment to be familiar and enjoyable to players of COD, Battlefield so on so forth. what would be enjoyable about playing a game that gives the vets massive bonuses like 1k ehp suits and guns that do quite a bit more damage but has very unuser friendly controls.

Warhawk also is a THIRD Person Shooter specializing in vehicles, cover based combat, and it's sequel is all that with the build-a-base gimmick.

this too, although the build-a-base was kinda cool imo.

im kinda not a fan of aim assist, feels kinda like a crutch, but if you think about it, the aiming in Dust without any is just gonna make this game into a bunch of dancing strafing mercs who run around with AR's imitating COD, this enforces tactics of ACTUALLY USING COVER AND FLANKING like in real shooter games like the ARMA series, instead of just jumping around with Duvolles with everything coming down to who's got the best firepower/suit ehp/dmg. mods. and twitch, sure its a little strong right now, but something to prevent COD 20k years+ in the future will need to be properly implemented, but probably not this strong.

2.b Battles are once again involving a large variety of weapons, I'm seeing things on the field that haven't been around in months. lasers, plasma cannons, scrambler pistols, more variety on the kill feed.

Just so you guys aren't left wondering, we are aware of the numerous complaints about the strength of aim assist. No decisions have been made yet, but we are certainly going to have another look at it.

Aim assist is meant for controllers to compete with highly customizable M/KB input options when both input devices are in the same game. It's not meant to be a meta balancing mechanic! The current aim assist functionality, hit box sizes, and series of hot fixes that were implemented to compensate for aiming and hit detection issues in 1.0 have created the new artificial balance. It's not working as intended. It's only a matter of time before CCP makes appropriate changes. Enjoy your crutch while you can because they're already looking into it:

".....but we are certainly going to have another look at it" = four months


Pretty standard on Eve as well as Dust. See you in four months.

If something is severely game breaking enough, they'll get it done faster. Look at how long it took to respond to the shotgun issues.

Didn't Section 8 have some lock on functions? Hell Armor Core had it too.

Armored Core has auto-targeting for almost every weapon in every game in the series.

But unlike DUST's over-zealous aim assist, it's built into the customisation system. Every AC/Core/NEXT (the name given to your mechs depends on the game) has a Fire Control System (FCS). Your FCS has a series of stats that determine how wide/tall your lockbox is on the screen, and how far away you can lock onto enemies, as well as how quickly your weapons lock onto the enemy in order to start tracking. The lock speed stat is further divided into direct-fire and missile weapon lock speed. And even in those games, there are some weapons that don't benefit from FCS targeting and have to be aimed manually. They also have cost involved in the sense that your FCS has a weight value, energy drain and other stats that make the stronger FCS options a compromise rather than a straight upgrade.

If there was a module for aim assist that cost a slot and some PG/CPU to fit, and you could get varying modules which provide varying levels of assistance, with the current level of aim assist being AT LEAST the Advanced variant, then I'd say that's a relevant comparison. Until that happens, this isn't Armored Core.

And yes, aim assist is still a sensible plan in a console shooter, but that doesn't mean that CCP have found the right level for the aim assist yet. I haven't done any testing over the last couple of days, but the last time I tried using aim assist, it felt distinctly stronger than I feel like it should be.

This.
Aim assist = OK, since game has KBM support and it helps level the playing field a bit.
Aimbot = BAD, since there is no real need to develop any skills related to FPS.
