I have to disagree, although I concur that if you use the old tactics of rush in and bunny hop in circles around the enemies you'll probably find an early grave.

The game is changed. Gun-game is now more about positioning and tactics, using the tools available (active scanners, vehicles etc) and strategically taking objectives while having eyes and ears on all points in communication.

The game has been changed so that solo Rambos will find a quick trip into the spawn que instead of bouncing around and bunny hopping while somehow managing to avoid fire from up to 16 mercs at once.

Now is the time to use your mind. No longer is shutting off your brain and hopping around in a circle acceptable, now you must move with cover in mind, where are the enemies, where are your allies? Breaching the enemy line means something now where before you could just waltz right past them and take an objective.

Digging in and defensive tactics truly work now. Good squad commanders and team leaders will drastically alter the battlefield.

That's how I feel about it.

Aim Assist = No more Strafe Dancing (Neo Matrix Dodging) = using more cover
and for this reason I actually approve despite being disadvantaged with it as a scout (and I mean severely disadvantaged), it also makes speed tanking negligible, so I am hoping for scout only cloaks but back on the subject, I do like the aspect because it severely nerfs the ad ad ad and left/right stick movement to neo dodge bullets out in the open, which were to me just as ridiculous as bunny hopping, this now actually makes cover more useful even in 1v1 engagements

Just my thoughts on the subject

I feel like quoting myself here

having good squad commanders, team leaders and tactics in general have ALWAYS been a requirement in competitive play, not just now. Now, it hardly makes a difference if your using someone whos been playing for a year with proto gear or a guy whos been in 2 months with advanced, hes going to get the job done almost as well because of how loleasymode# dust is now. Tactics doesent change how easy and no skill this game is as of today

what good is cover if aimbot just shoots over it?

Can't the game be fun?

Can't the game be fun?

exmaple, thanks for showing me that vid. from the bottom of my heart. im about to copy paste that to a bunch of threads now

what good is cover if aimbot just shoots over it? you can use cover before as well, now its just easy to die and get killed no matter how skilled you are

lolol enjoy, you can get a simular vid by recording a pub match of dust

Its hard to consider ourselfs skilled now when this game is so easy mode its cod. In cod, you run around the map and shoot ppl down in like 2 hits, no one ever sees you comming and you kill them unexpectedly. Now that our freindly team sight is gone, we run around just as blindly looking for targets. Now that we all have aimbot, we kill ppl with ARs as fast as an AR kills someone in COD. Now that we have no strafe, we cant break the aimbot so we simply die. There is no need for skill in dust now!!! get rid of the aimbot :(( its not fun to play cod, or a cod clone that is slightly more involved with alittle math. It feels like we advanced, skill heavy players are no better than scrubs, reguarless of SP

Yes. Too bad my squads always go into battle with blues that do not know how to squad up...going against top tier corporations.

now u suck more than u already are

you dont balance games for pub matches. that breaks a game. you balance it for competition, e.g. PC battles.

noobs are noobs and will always be noobs, unless they get better. but then they wouldnt be noobs anymore by definition, as a noob whines instead of practices.

ww3 is soon and u whine about aim assist

I'm kind of torn on this. On one hand, the strafe and track style of last patch was a great homage to old school FPS and the ability to expose a "good player's" lack of sustained aim was very refreshing but it ruined the tactical aspect of the game. Positioning and squad based gameplay was reduced to dance offs in open ground. Now you actually have to use cover to your advantage and with barely enough lateral movement to make that possible. It's not as twitch as other modern FPS, but TTK can be an issue when a quarter million ISK suit doesn't feel like it's worth the price. I think if they work on optimal ranges on certain weapons and tweak HMG dispersion, we could find a happy medium.

No longer is shutting off your brain and hopping around in a circle acceptable,

I don't get some peoples logic.
Aim assist means bad players will dominate good ones?
What is it that an inexperienced player has that is so much better than an experienced player in a 1V1?
You still have better skills, higher tiered gear, and as far as I can tell if somebody get the jump on you, why shouldn't you be DOD?
