My KDR and Accuracy are about the same, but I used the SKS (semi-auto sniper) and was with my squad not on a hill, and as a BF3 vet I know that KDR is not important in BF3 and should not be in DUST-only COD. 282 shiper ribbons and 384 suppression ribbons in my BF3 experience and a top 2% SKS sniper

I run mostly BPO on a DREN C-1, DREN AR, Toxin and have most of my 18,ill SP in passive skills. I put 2 million into lethality in the past month and my prior averager 1.0ish KDR has gone to 1.6 -1.8 this month will tell alot.

I would like to add I also played MOH Warfighter and picked up a LaRue 7.62 OBR and was the #1 player accross all platforms as an OBR squad sniper for a long long time-again near the objective not on hill!

It is hard to compare progress with DUST- in that there are so many laggers in the same match, EURO, ASIA, South Americans, north Americans all in the same server and those damn Ontarians. I need to get some video equipment because some of these "elite" players, one from Puerto Rico in particular, need to see what they look like-maybe the lag and all the SP advantage is why they play DUST?


I use thumb power, it's what seperates us from them!

Ya, the SKS is a beast I used it as a shotgun lol (and no AA as it is a Recon weapon). I have 18 million SP earned over the past 6 months and maybe in another 6 start fitting vehicles. I've been hoping to see the Caldari heavy and I wish the HMG to be like an M60.

Hey CCP give me an OBR! or working knees
ZIP ZAP

you can't turn it off for everyone...

Turn it off for yourself and stop crying. You want to gimp yourself thats fine by me but you have no business or right to try and change the way others play. AA is there for a reason if you dont like it then dont play.

Mostly not true.

Chromosome did have some aim assist that wasn't part of the actual active aim assist setting.. like friction and a very mild LDS centering. But the Active Aim Assist got de-activated pre Chromosome due to the forum out rage about it.

The Main feature that made Uprising 1.0 and 1.1 so terrible for aiming feel compared to Chromosome was the Joystick acceleration curve they added onto the DS3 and then the Mouse/KB as it was a emulation at that point. The acceleration curve basically made it so the ds3 input would accelerate to extreme's with no reasonable cap., also made the M/KB have extreme inconsistency with the same movement pattern yielding vastly different results.

The Aiming Problems in Uprising was one created by Wolfman Reworking the entire system in Uprising 1.0 launch and throwing out the one in Chromosome as it was cause 1-2 Frame a second loss (He said)

If this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFqlnXZU6bw Is a thing you want to be a staple in DUST 514 now? Then fine.... I guess I chose the wrong game and my friends where right about CCP Shanghai. But as far as this game being an actual shooter with this? its a giant farce.

I asked him to repeat the experiment without aim assist.
I believe it's just lag compensation.

LOL
Chromosome HAD aim assist.

It was removed early Uprising, which made people mad because aiming didn't feel right.

You know why it didn't feel right?
No aim assist

Now you are just grasping at straws there ...

Aiming wasnt so bad start Uprising for DS3 users, but it was horrible for KBM because they had just input that DS3 virtual overlay that actually aimed oval instead of in a circle, sharpshooter was removed and KBM was using DS3 deadzones

I went from 20-30 kills on average in chromo without Any Aim Assist to 1-3 at the start of Uprising, i remember because that was for the first time i received a pity mail from someone about how they screwed over KBM users.


But wonder yourself why DS3 users s*ck 90% of the time ? Maybe they should start playing without Aim Assist so you know they can get better ?

There is really no diffrence between when i get nailed by an awesome DS3 user over someone i know that is good at KBM, ofcourse on my part i am wrestling with my crappy KBM controls, while the good DS3 player is assisted by the native control system + Aim Assist.

Its just that the crappy people cant aim with the DS3, but crappy people cant aim either with KBM either...

There is no such thing as picking up KBM and on second 1 of using it being on Counterstrike Tournament FPS level, but its funny seeing every DS3 player claiming it is..

The claim isn't that each person with a KB/M is inherently better than a person with a DS3. It is that the ceiling for KB/M is WAY WAY higher than a DS3. You balance around top-end play, not scrubs.

I HATE aim assists, but in order to level the playing field the KB/M people need to make concessions. That means (in my opinion) adding momentum (so that you can't change direction instantaneously) and turn speed caps and momentum.

If CCP would just implement those things, and get them right, and then leave them alone, I think any and all aim assist could be taken out, and I would be extremely happy (even while dying).

I do care about getting better myself at aiming and tracking targets with my controller.. For DUST and Future of FPS's I may play(yes with the DS4). I Know Knight Solaire might be slightly better at aiming naturally then I am right now. But I am confident that my aiming potential could be just as good(If not better) given the chance for it to be worth turning aim assist off, to test and practice.

Some may enjoy not having to try hard to aim at a scout. I however enjoyed the concept of the scout suit, Medium suits and heavy suit, and that some would be easier to aim at and some would be harder, one of the main premises that attracted me to DUST 514. I have tried for several patches to get over aim assist making the time I put into learning how to aim on the controller worthless. But when I am actively hitting targets jumping, falling several stories, sprinting at 10m/s+ or even being across great distances(SCR/RR) I am able to Aim and track those targets as good as I hoped to when at my full personal aiming potential.

Some players may want to just worry about learning the skill system, fitting system and maps of DUST 514, and let all the actual use of the Guns in the FPS game be guided by a program setting that helps me aim center target, or stay on target while they move and jump..and many many other advantages I feel. Then why do we pay for our suits? why do we brag about anything really except the time we have put into DUST 514. Not how good we have got at a First Person Shooter built around a MMO concept.

I felt i stood a chance against some of the most recognized names on the killboards, I could claim killing a fair few with pride(As if that is really an accomplishment in the grand scheme) But it was me that did it(With no AA)and I always felt that I stood a chance. Now if they see me and I see them.. I Stand no chance, it is skill points and math, sure if I catch them off guard or have their back to me for a little time I can let Aim Assist help me aim quickly at them and usually kill them. But any ability I had to get the better of the famed "Gun Game" that addicted me to this title is gone, and the victories I do get feel hollow, almost like the sense of achievement in killing someone was robbed from me.


In Short +1 Remove Aim Assist.

CCP may support a F2P title, but they should promote making a better game player, not catering to those who refuse to get better.

I swap back and forth from KB/M and DS3 but I come from PC games and bought a PS3 FOR DUST (I'm an EVE player since 2006)

Right now KB/M aiming is so bad that my reticule actually REPELS off the target. You can notice this most on Vehicle like rail tanks shooting a stationary turret for example. I have to move the mouse to keep my aim point on a STATIONARY target!

Also, not having a custom map (or at least alternate maps) for the KB/M is ridiculous. I hit tab at least 4 times during most matches trying to access a repper tool or a armor hardener on my tank....

Aim assist seems pretty tame now. First it was repelling, then magnetic, and now it's barely noticeable. Jumping and dancing like a 'pro' is back from the dead.
