If you get paid to play video games, it pretty much means you have never, are currently not, and will never see female genitalia during your natural born life.

.... I've had better records with an AR (63-0) and back-in-the-day OP TAC AR (72-0), but for being relatively new to the FG scene I was surprised just how effective they are.

(Note: Wouldn't have been possible without my beastly logibro ONE-EYE GOON)

Hahaha, typical response. My girlfriend thought it was cute that I got paid to do what I like. I don't anymore, obviously, nor was jt my main job. I had a local clan that would compete for typically <$1000 in cash or prizes every now and then. This was during high school days when I had nothing better to do.

I find it hilarious people equate being good at video games to not having any social skills. It may be true in some cases, but that's likely due to confirmation bias. If you think that girls are turned off by video games, then you are probably the one that hasn't had much experience with them.

Video or it didn't happen. Why should we trust that your weren't just boosting the whole match. I'm a dedicated forge gunner and I know for a fact that even if you tower forge snipe, a regular sniper can and will shut you down. So that 60-0 is probably cheating.

I have a Logi fit that I regularly use to stock myself prior to setting up with a FG. Granted, it delays me about ~2 minutes in getting set up but I can certainly deal without a Logi. Having one just saves me time is all.

Actually, I just looked at the stats photos, and clearly, you did not have a good sniper or two on the other team. 3200 damage received is pathetically low, which explains why you were able to get that many kills.

I would also think that playing Dom on a Skim Junction map is probably the most ideal setup for a forger, because you can look right down on the objective and rain down hell. Given that you were facing a corp I have never even heard of, it is most likely that they bunched up and kept trying to horde the objective, making them ideal targets for the fg.

So the game is a combination of great map for the task, enemies dumb enough to not counter you, and also dumb enough to keep trying instead of changing strategy.

Perfect storm really.

It still serves as a good example for reducing the splash radius.

Did you literally left that crosshair sticker on to troll??

Or you forgot to take it off because it's already part of the TV?

Oh I hear ya. That would work but your number would probably drop to around 50 or so. And wowzers, you've got a custom monitor that can slap on custom crosshairs? And I thought I've heard everything. That's totally new to me. I wonder if they still make monitors with that feature.

And yes, CCP screwed DS3 users when they allowed mouse use.

The forges who say they are Main forge gunners and couldn't do it so he must be cheating...

You are the people who are messing this game up.


Skilled players exist in the FPS world.... people who literally are just better then you... get over it. That doesn't make what they do OP..... But when Skilled players come in droves and tell you a Feature or a gun is broken and is purely a tool for them to Abuse and get massive results from....

Then you get a bunch of idiots saying the opposite, And because they can't get similar results they are "cheaing" no. your just bad and hes better.... And your in Denial even with proof in your face... just like AA...

If you seriously think a Sharpie and 15 seconds of your time is "cheating" you people really need to stop playing video games... go play backgammon or something.


CCP isn't after a game anymore that reflects your personal skill at FPS's... They have installed countless skill gap compressor's. Weapons that one shot you no matter how good your are or what precautions you take, Installed AA that tracks sprinting jumping targets as if they where moving slow, tweaked hit boxes so you are hitting people you have no right to. Allowed endless grenade spamming to be the Fad again... Tweaked Blast radius's on AOE weapons so more people are taking damage more of the time.

Don't anyone of you guys for a second think CCP did this by accident... This was on purpose....

Skilled players are one thing, people who use hardware to gain an advantage then say something is OP is something totally different.

On top of using hardware to have an advantage, he was tower FG sniping. I personally do not see the fun in doing this. It is a boring way to play, unless you get enjoyment from griefing n00bs, in which case you have other issues besides being a cheater/exploiter at video games. (cheating by using hardware to get an advantage, and exploiting by using the games lack of insight in it's map design to get the upperhand)

Also, I don't know if your comment is directed toward me, but I suspect that it is. I am not a dedicated Forge Gunner, but I do use the FG. I do get good scores with it, and am not in anyway jealous of the OP's scores he got by cheating.

What many people in this game fail to realize is that their selfish stat whoring actions have a huge impact in this game. You fail to realize that you are not in an extremely competitive gaming environment. If you would stop to consider the impact your actions had on the game in general, you would tone this competitiveness down a few notches.

Rule of thumb: Just because one can do something doesn't mean one should.

Think about the negative impact something may have on the game before you try to use it to get an unfair advantage.

Console games, as I stated before are now, have always been, and always will be a casual gaming platform. If the majority of the desired playerbase approaches DUST from a casual point of view (which they do, because it is a console game) and are not able to at least feel like they are doing halfway decent in the game because of highly competitive stat whoring elitist PC gamers, they will simply not play the game.

The elitist PC gamer mentality, and using hardware for an advantage is counterproductive to building DUST's player base, and really needs to end.

Video or it didn't happen. Why should we trust that your weren't just boosting the whole match. I'm a dedicated forge gunner and I know for a fact that even if you tower forge snipe, a regular sniper can and will shut you down. So that 60-0 is probably cheating.

So I decided to spec into Forge Guns about two weeks ago and lo and behold the results. I've had better records with an AR (63-0) and back-in-the-day OP TAC AR (72-0), but for being relatively new to the FG scene I was surprised just how effective they are.

Hardware advantage is the name of gaming.... the better monitor the better game pad... the better sound... that point is moot... gaming monitor's with custom crosshair's have been sold by sony for years....

And the consol is a casual gaming device? your serious?

As far as exploiting advantages in the game to benefit you? and you shouldn't because you should think of how other people feel? your serious about that too? this is your first FPS? that is the developers job they actually make a living dealing with that... When i screw up at my job repeatedly... i would assume to get fired or replaced...

The fact that you think its an elitist PC gamer attitude that drives players to invest money into their gaming experience with Aurum packages at the 100 dollar range... Is just mind boggling.. Your the person stuck in the past who thinks gaming platforms should only be playable with one input device.....

Keyboard and mouse are on the way out they aren't some futuristic hardware design come to obsolete the game pad They are already being replaced.. and soon your game input will literally be at your end of your imagination...

Note hes playing a FPS....

Leap Motion represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It's more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements

You seriously need to stop about the KB/M argument because your being stupid...... If people will buy monitor's for custom crosshair's and custom mice and gamepad's... They will buy a KB/M converter for the PS3 and be able to use the Aimbot WITH keyboard and mouse... a converter is 40 bux cheap end...

Your just stuck in the past ps2 mentality where you think Keyboard and mouse users arent in almost every consol game you play.

Aim assist is only another tool to be abused by Pro FPS players and people who know better... its not a tool to make noobs relevant. or help ds3 compete against keyboard which "it never had a problem with before" from any experienced ds3 users mouth that plays DUST.

its something that drastically ruins any player based skill... and put's it in the hands of a computer to react and do a majority of the aiming for you, aslong as your looking in the right direction.

So let me get this straight, you are disgruntled by the fact that I'm using my inherent abilities to overpower the plethora of noobs who can't tell the barrel from the stock on a gun?

Listen dude, I hear what you're saying but NO ONE, and I mean no one, stops to think about the "health" of the game relative to their actions in a game. I'm griefing noobs who may or may not have just started this game... And your point is? Why should I care about the emotions of the person who I kill or the ultimate effect on the marketability of a company's game? If the game dies because of me, I would consider that an achievement. I'm using the tools they give me while being aided with a minor little visual cue. You guys are getting so upset by the crosshair and KB/M nonsense that you're refusing to see why I posted this in the first place.

I JUST started using Forge Guns two weeks ago and already I'm going at least 30-0 in games on average just sitting around and blasting people. I think it's hilarious. I played assault for forever. I have ~20m SP invested in Assault-related skills and just recently decided to try something new. Shooting the same targets with the dame gun got boring for me. Your argument about how I and others like me are killing the game does not concern me in the least bit. Games are meant to be enjoyed by the person playing them. I'm playing the game, and I enjoy killing and do not enjoy dying. Hence, I'm doing what I enjoy. The point of discussion here was how ridiculously easy it is to be an effective Forge Gunner once you learn the ins and outs, not whether it's morally "right" to do it. Stop bringing your feelings into my balance discussion thread.

You're completely missing my point.

I do understand your reasoning behind posting this. Your reasoning is drastically flawed.

You cannot determine the "balance" of anything if you are using hardware to boost your performance, or exploiting flawed map design to get an advantage. Of course you will see an imbalance in this type of situation.

Use a normal flatscreen television, and a DS3 controller, get on the ground like a normal non stat whoring player, and lets compare the results.

Then you will truly see that it is not the FG that is overpowered, but the ability to use hardware and exploits to gain an advantage.

The fact that you are proud to drive away the potential players speaks volumes toward your credibility in this community. Do you not like the game? You say you enjoy playing it, so why would you not like to see it grow? As part of the community you have a responsibility to be concerned with the health of the game. If you don't, go back to whatever rock you crawled out of, because nobody wants you here.

Your "balance" discussion is a joke because your results were obtained by cheating.

You seriously need to stop about the KB/M argument because your being stupid...... If people will buy monitor's for custom crosshair's and custom mice and gamepad's... They will buy a KB/M converter for the PS3 and be able to use the Aimbot WITH keyboard and mouse... a converter is 40 bux cheap end...

Your just stuck in the past ps2 mentality where you think Keyboard and mouse users arent in almost every consol game you play.

First of all, you're making yourself sound like an @$$ for calling me stupid when I never even targeted you for derogatory comments.

I've used the DS3 prior to Uprising for my forge gun and only recently switched to mouse about a month ago. I know what the DS3 limitations are. I prefer DS3 for console games, but after countless run-ins with players who run circle around you while keeping their bead on target, I switched to mouse. So no, I am not knowledgeable on all of those mods, converters, and such because I don't hunt them down. Please refrain yourself from derogatory comments on replies to me.

Thank you.

CUT.

In all honesty, guys like this should be on CCP's payroll. SKILLED players balancing the game and game mechanics. Not, one day here, one day gone COD halfwits, with their parent's credit card.
