So I've been playing Dust for around a year now (Give or take a month) but I have been doing it wrong this whole time. So I'm more of a lone gunner in FPS games, I don't like running in squads where the medic constantly our Rambow revives you or when squad mates spawn on you and give away your position. So this was the attitude I took into Dust all that time ago and have stuck with it.
This weekend though that all changed. Now when I jam Dust it's normally with my mate (But we do our own thing, it's just to chat really) so while we were in a squad this weekend we decided to open up our squad for the very first time. We were using mics so eventually guys with mics and stayed and oh man did we have a blast! We all worked as a team, we all had dropsuits that complimented each other and we won all of our games except for one. The guys with mics that joined us were really cool people and ended up playing every single game with us until we all decided to call it a night.
Squads with mics and awesome people is definitely the way to play this game. Games like CoD and BF you can Rambow and enjoy, no problem there, but in Dust the fun factor just shoots through the roof exponentially. Now I enjoy Dust in general but that Sunday I just couldn't wait until we all hopped online to pwn some lobbies again, it was just amazing. I can't see myself playing solo again to be honest.
So yeah, Dust has it's fair share of problems (I'm not saying it doesn't) but I just wanted to give some kudos to CCP as even now the game is capable of being a solid shooter with crazy levels of awesomeness and enjoyment .
Oh and I've actually been wanting to say this for a while, but if anyone at CCP does read this thread please giving my gratz to the art department! The weapons in Dust (Looks) are just amazing. I'm big on how gear looks in games (MMO habit) and Dust's weapons are the perfect mixture of sci-fi yet completely plausible. This is one of the reasons why I can't play Planetside, it's like you're running around with boxes, everything is so square. Maybe we could get a better looking sniper in future though  |
