I'm a little surprised at this report. I know Dust isn't that simple, but it's not that complex either. I don't recall having a problem mixing with veterans. I died a lot more in the beginning than I do now, but I never had a problem understanding core gameplay. Domination and Ambush are incredibly easy to learn unless you're completely new to games (I mean all games, not just shooters).
I thought our generation was supposed to be able to grasp this crap without much explanation?

Instead of starting out in your MQ you start in a virtual simulation system(VSS) aka PVE show you the ropes & while you at it give it a sexy robotic animated voice that'll guide you.
This would be good.
I've always wanted a free-roam where you could run around the battlefield (or drive, or fly), alone or with a squad, with no enemy players or bots, just to see where things are in each map, plan strategies per map, etc. |

Although within the first 15 minutes of gameplay I doubt people are gonna know about uplink deployment and other tactical skills involving this game
That's true; but whenever I got my clone's ass handed to me, I'd just hide in some rocks like Gollum until I learned everything through observation and guesswork. Isn't that how everyone learned how to play Dust?
I quickly learned that trying to help people gets you killed; hide behind teammates and/or tanks when possible, but still don't help them; and when engaged directly by the enemy, wildly toss all your grenades and run. Just keep running, assuming your grenades don't kill you.
I think I'd be a great Dust teacher. |

There were literally 6 snipers/ar users in a line, out in the open, shooting and missing, she killed each one with a turret, slowly and one at a time and none of them started running when they got hit, none of the other guys started running when the peeps next to them were dying.
Actually I still see this pattern far after Academy. Roof camps come to mind. Not sure there's a way to teach people how to live long enough to start enjoying the game, if they start, and stay, so bad. I guess PvE is the only way to get people halfway-competent gradually, though transition to PvP would still be a rude awakening.
