"I used to be able to kill 6 players at the same time and now I can only kill one." Gimmie a friggin' break.

Yes, my point is not validated, though I'm pretty sure this is not among the "1.4" known issues" because it's a combination of several factors and not actual bugs. Lag has always been there and it might be more noticeable now because of the hit detection improvement.

So what if automatic weapons (or just the AR?) would get a slight Aim Assist decrease? I know it wouldn't make you happy, because you don't want aim assist at all, but...

... would that help in your opinion? Would that bring a better weapon balance across the board?

Since aim assist is most likely to stay (I actually like it because the whole aiming mechanic feels smoother now, but I can't pretend everyone likes it), do you think that may be a possible solution to at least fix the exaggerated impact it has on AR?

. . . . .Essentially, with this RIDICULOUS aim assist, this is CoD/Halo/BF3 with no health/shield regen. I can't continue fighting more than one person if they land EVERY shot. It's just not possible. How am I supposed to do ANYTHING if I can only kill one person at a time?

How many skillpoints do I need for the capability to kill TWO cherries fresh out of the Academy using MLT ARs? Cause clearly 12m sp is not enough. I have to kill one, hide, wait for the regen of armor, and run back, when normally I'd WALK through them, reload, and I can continue because 99% of the players in this game ******* suck and can't hit the broadside of a barn without an aimbot holding their hand, which is why speed tank used to be viable.

By not being able to play aggressively, this leads to stalemates. This leads to Skirmish being nothing but a TDM until an MCC explodes. I cannot change the tide of battle by myself because I am a cog in a machine thats existence is dedicated to zerg rushing as a mindless horde. . . . .

Squads are essentially the same with no real goals right now. Just tank and tank and tank and blob together. Maybe have an HAV or a sniper tag along. There is no skill required with that.

Troll or not, but following statement is true now more than ever:

If DUST was a game of Rock Paper Scissors, the AR would be Colony Drop.

However, right now I think AR would be more like endless zombie horde.

Brilliant post, because people exist who have 0 accuracy. Really, flawless argument. It's balanced that I can't kill 2 people no matter how awful they are, no matter how many more skillpoints I have than them, and no matter how much better at the game I am? Sure sounds like that's coming from a garbage player who can't do anything without crutches and contributes little to nothing in any squad he's ever in. Have to make sure you ALWAYS win when you're being a coward and teaming up on individuals, huh? Better make sure they don't get the satisfaction of showing bad players how bad they really are by killing them despite them 3v1ing.

I'm killing 2 people just fine. I just don't foolishly stand in their line of fire when I do it. (As I assume you are?)

Your skillpoints were meant to give you an edge, not guarantee a victory over, a lower SP player.

You were never supposed to be so dependent on your gear to win. It made you develop bad habits; playing habits that you mistook for skill.

If you think SP gives someone the right to talk, then don't speak; I have 17 million SP. Some people have 20 million and more, and we're all doing just fine.

Clearly you guys are either too stupid or too thick skulled to understand what I'm saying.

I RUN STANDARD SUITS. WITH STANDARD ARs. I COULD KILL 2 PEOPLE IN PROTO AT ONCE. Not because they were NEW PLAYERS, but because they sucked (were SVERs outside of their shiny enforcers) and I could outskill them. How do you ******* retards not get that? I should be able to grind through people based on pure skill, not just sp. I can be killed by anyone, easily, and I am killed often, easily.

You know why? Because I'm running STANDARD. I kill people with skill, not with gimmicks. I know that blows your puny underdeveloped minds but it was really an amazing reality that I lived in. A reality where I could massacre people if they sucked, regardless of their gear, just like if someone was better than me with any other weapon, they could wreck me. The artificial skill SP gives only goes so far, true skill nets you more kills unless you're playing "FOTM 514". I wasn't RAILING MLT IN PROTO GEAR. God some of you are such ******* morons.

Oh, a team game you say? Have you ever heard of the saying, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link? I really like that one. You know why? My team of GOOD players chokeslams your team of garbage zerg rushers. But now, our squads are completely even, even though yours is absolute trash and mine is comprised of incredibly skilled individuals. That's team play to you, though, isn't it?

Just go away.

Waaaah waaaah my e-penor is threatened by someone who can wreck me in an FPS when he's played FPSs since counterstrike. Why don't you pussies get over it and actually stay on topic? What a bunch of babies. Why did I even bother posting when all I get are morons trying to pretend they're better than me at the game.

If you're as senior of an fps player as you claim, then you shouldn't be getting so belligerent.

The puny little aim assist added to Dust, shouldn't make or break a skilled player like yourself.

You make a great case for taking you seriously when you randomly insult people, capitalize words, etc. - and then accuse other people of going off topic. You are the great communicator.

Gamers are so close minded. Honestly aiming is a very negligible portion of skill in a shooter, believe it or not. Whether you survive an engagement or not relies much more on your situational awareness, combat knowledge, and wit than your aiming.

I don't feel like communicating with people who are the equivalent of brick walls. The only argument you retards can come up with is, "Well, you must be bad!" or, "YOU are doing something wrong!" It's never refuting a single point it's only attempting to attack me and debate my skills, which are TOTALLY irrelevant. As soon as someone uses more than 3% of their mental capacity to debate me, I would love to give them a legitimate response, but so far the only people disagreeing have been mouthbreathing scrubs who need aimbot to go positive and can't handle the fact that there is someone out there (me) who actually is skilled enough to go positive without an aimbot.

I made a good point, and it's a shame most of it is ignored because people feel threatened that someone thinks they should be able to wreck your entire protostomping garbage tier corp squad if they absolutely outskill all of them ten fold. You're off topic as well. Funny how that works.

Edit: They also open up with, "You're 100% wrong. Here's what I think: _____" They're so dumb they don't even understand the concept of debate. I honestly have never seen a bigger, more dysfunctional and annoying forum than this one.
