There are some current balancing issues and matchmaking problems but the mechanics themselves are alright. Matchmaking was still non-existent in chromosome and balance was all over the place. The aim was alright but we had frame rate issues and even more dc problems than ever. I can't honestly say id rather have anything from chromosome instead of simply fixing/iteratingon what we have now.

Chromosome was the build we had before Uprising, which was released early may - so if you played before then, you've played Chromosome.

And by the way, it is a severe case of rose tinted glasses - Uprising is leagues ahead of Chromosome is pretty much everyway (not to say Uprising didn't have pretty bad teething problems, some of which are still around.)

that we may or may not be able to see reliably at any point in time...

DootDoot:

You still get stuck on textures all over? The aiming system is still glitchy for all peripheral's if you turn off their AA band-aid that didn't fix anything...

AA needs some tweaking but it's laggy hitboxes and poor hit detection that are the real problem and that was still the case back in Chromosome.

The matchmaking mechanics are worse then ever.... complicated solution for a simple answer...

Matchmaking is currently poor but is not actually any worse than Chromosome, where protostomps and unfilled matches were pretty common.

Squad mechanics make you DC endlessly...

This has been fixed.

PC and tourny matches are as laggy, with as many memory leaks, and have 1-2 FPS turn outs more then not...

There were no PC or tourny matches in Chromosome. All we had was 8 vs 8 corp contracts.

The Logi armor repairing mechanics and system got changed for even worse....

The removal of health bars has been acknowledged as an issue and is planned to be fixed. For all other players, the UI is much less cluttered without them all constantly being on view.

The needle system HAS never been fixed since chrom when it was at its best...

You mean when if someone's body moved from the point that they were killed, you had to search around for where they died to be able to revive them?

Other then a broken Viziam on headshot glitch with laser... that was really the only major balance issue.... Now? omg....

Lasers were ridiculous in Chromosome, not just on headshots. There have always been multitudes of balancing issues in this game. ALWAYS.

Hit detection is WAY more lagged.. way slower to register... way less crisp... way less predictable...

Lag was pretty prominent in Chromosome but the reason we have these issues in Uprising is likely connected to the greatly improved graphics. I'd rather they work on improving the hit detection than revert to worse graphics.

The running and speed mechanics have been slowed down EVEN more.....

I too dislike this but that's simply a case of tweaking numbers and scouts in particular are being looked at.

Literally they left everything broken with the game and proceeded to fix the stuff that worked....

Better graphics, better maps, bigger maps, 16 vs 16 corp battles, 6 man squads, more suits, more weapons, more vehicles, more equipment, less laggy (remember teleporting enemies?).

Like I said - I'd much rather see CCP fix/iterate on everything we've got now than take any steps back to the way anything used to be.

There is a hell of a lot that has been improved in Uprising and if you were really to go and play Chromosome right now, you'd see them all. Try youtubing some of the old open beta Dust vids and you'll get an idea.

Hard crashes every 4 games? no thanks my PS3 is already on the verge of dying.

Sounds like you've got many more problems a lot more than many of the rest of us. Maybe your PS3 is dying. Or your internet is bad. I've not had any squad problems for days and lag is pretty much no existent for me - maybe try defragging; it helped me a lot.

Every. Day.

And all the things you've quoted as worse since Chromosome are either being worked on as known issues or aren't actually any worse (i.e. sticking to terrain/structures just to name one).

I like how no one has mentioned the aiming system during chromosome. We never even debated aim assist because we didn't need it. You could track a running assault like a mofo and shoot him- with practice. Now that aiming was revamped and sights were changed along with sensitivities, aiming was **** poor in uprising 1.0. Most fights just ended up being battles of hip fire. CCP's fix was a giant bandaid that is AA, rather than reverting to something that wasn't flawed and required no aim assist. Just watch some of the better players' footage during chrome. Smooth as glass W/O AA.

I played in February, what build was that?

Honestly, the game has come so far since Chromosome. Do you remember what it looked like?

I present to you another chromosome vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1vEETvCwx0

Bugs, glitches and terrible visuals galore.

Please list one thing that is not being worked on and actually worse than Chromosome.

Ha! Another massive fail - that uprising vid is from July! That was 1.2!

There are a few - you just can't find any that show 1.4 in a worse light than Chromosome. Gimbles and Pyrex are just two still doing them.

As for the aim thing - CCP knows there are issues around it and they're working on it.

Face it - the entire argument to revert back to chromosome rests upon aiming and that's something that CCP continue to work on. CCP knows AA is too strong. They are also aware of laggy hitboxes and hit detection.

You clearly have no idea who you're talking to. Look at those likes - I've been here posting for over a year. For the entire open beta and most of closed beta I was unemployed, so played Dust constantly. I never missed a week's cap once.

Don't try to misrepresent me - the game is far from perfect. But having seen several major updates over the past year, I remember how people cried for a revert back to replication when Codex came, to Codex when Chromosome came and now the exact same here with Uprising. This is not new and we will see the same happen when 2.0 comes too.

There's a lot to be done but it's being done, bit by bit. Slower than I would have hoped but it is. The problem is that's it's happening too slow for most and that is why the player base isn't growing. With big new games like GTA out now, we've lost players left right and center and PS4 will be a big hit to us too. I disagree with some of the direction that has been taken and recently have been increasingly vocal about that but I refuse to sit here while people try to say that the game was better 9 months ago when that is just nonsense.
