If there is a single thing that is on the right track for Dust, it's the map design.

Make no mistake, the map design is phenomenal. But by far what's most impressive about Dust is the sound design. Everything is incredibly clear, the music isn't in the way. And most importantly, sounds don't clash and become white noise? The sound of a swarm launcher and an assault scrambler rifle going off at the same time? You can easily pick them both out.

Mmmmm Mass Driver kill zone.

My thoughts exactly, MD's are undeniably the masters of these tight spaces because there is no means of avoiding the blast short of just running away altogether. Anyone else see a "nerf MD blast radius" or "nerf MD ROF" thread in the near future?

They should just go back to their old 4/6 ammo instead of the 6/8 they put in when explosives weren't registering too well.

Even if they did, 2-3 proto md rounds kills just about everything and everyone and their mother is running at least 1 complex damage mod these days. They could rebalance the MD pretty easily, but I feel it would need more than a single stat change. Something with plenty of positive and negative changes, for example (not saying these are changes I'd condone per say):

The Positive: buff the reload speed by 10%, increase the direct damage of all types by 20%, increase the ammo carry capacity by 40%, increase the direct damage efficacy towards vehicles by 40%, slightly increase the travel time of the projectile, make the ADS view show a circle on the ground where the payload is going to hit and the blast radius of the payload, increase range by 15%

The Negative: Reduce the ROF of all MD's by 15%, reduce the clip size to 4 for regular and 6 for assault, reduce the splash damage of all types except breach by 15%, reduce the blast radius of all types except the breach by 10%

Boom, you'd have an effective skill weapon that is only spammable when used in groups of MD players. It may not be perfect for dust, but it would at least be rebalanced rather than nerfed

If you have grenades yes.

Sadly it'll never be this good again.

It could be one day. Never give up.... never surrender.

So, the Gallente building favored close range combat, and now the new Caldari socket will be perfect for snipers?

It's almost like racial weapon and combat ability naturally seeps into the way they design their structures and work camps as well.

This map looks like sniper paradise.

Would make sense to design a military base around your weapon capabilities and not that of the enemies.

I thought these places were designed first as Labs, and Construction yards than battle fields.

Or is New Eden so volatile that even housing units are designed with warfare in mind?

It's ok, LogicLoop, I caught the reference. Great film.
