I see. All of the back shooting and sniping cowards are opposed to this idea. Makes sense.

I <3 Zaria.

True story.

When I get shot, by the time I turn to face the person shooting me I am already dead.

In reality, I could turn much more quickly.

I recommend that double clicking L1 would immediately face your avatar toward the opponent that just shot you.

This is not auto aim, but a simple mechanic to forego turtle-speed turning (X sensitivity at 100%).

At least I could get off a shot or two before death.

UPDATE: It has been discussed that a quick 90 or 180 would be helpful as opposed to facing the opponent.

Slash your wrists to exit son.

wtf?

Let me help you. This is a normative statement:



The underlined word, should, indicates that this is a personal value and is therefore not a fact.

This statement is up for interpretation and is dubious at best:



This is an opinion:



Go take a debate class. Your arguments are flakey at best.

Don't pretend my love is unrequited.

Why are we ignoring the fact that DUST would make the perfect point and click adventure game?

Jason Pearson has died in a hunting accident.

New Eden Trail.

All of your tanks have died.

Zaria has contracted dysentery.

Your dropship has come across a forge gunner. Ford it or caulk and float?

Is this serious? Don't stand out in the open, PROBLEM SOLVED. Always stay near cover, when they shoot you get behind the cover. Simple. If they're behind you then you deserve to die for not knowing your surroundings.

Even the 90/180 degree turn would be ridiculous. If anything was to be implemented I'd say give us higher sensitivity. Compared to most FPS games I've played the sensitivity in Dust is far below par.

This has already been hashed out. Read the thread.

Hashed Out? No you've ignored ir because it doesn't fit your reasoning.

Apparently, you haven't played dust very long. There are many reasons why you might get caught alone. Here's an example, since you're incapable of using your own imagination:

While piloting/riding a dropship you begin to take so much fire that your ship is imminently going down, so you bail out and apply the inertia dampener before you hit the ground. This attracts the attention of an enemy who just happens to be at your 6 and immediately opens fire on you. Due to slow turn rate, you perish :(

Various other scenarios exist where a person must react to getting caught alone. This is a situation that every merc should be prepared to encounter. Empowering mercs with the ability to turn more quickly would be an enhancement to the game, in my opinion.

You obviously have only one play style which limits your experience and understanding of complex situations, but there are many circumstances where turning speed is a critical element.

The problem here isn't that I don't understand your position or the scenarios in which a fast turn speed would "help," the problem is that we have a differing of opinion on whether that is the sort of "help" that should be afforded to players in the first place.

I'm completely unrelated to the OP and actually think that he handled this thread in the worst possible way.
But could you tell me if you hate mouse players? Those can turn very quickly, after all. Would be nice to know.

By the way, what do you think about a module that allows commando suits to use an ability similar to what OP proposed?
It would snap to the closest target... Independant of IFF information. So a commando with that module would indirectly benefit from going lone wolf, as there wouldn't be any allies to auto-aim at. The idea would be to make the commando the one man army with restrictions - High scan profile, disadvantages when being supported, a severe lack of PG/CPU reserves as well as armor and low movement speed. I feel that that's the kind of thing that proto equipment should do. Completely weird, but useful with an atypical playstyle.
Maybe the module should also require your passive scan to be capable of scanning the target. But that would be an insane disadvantage for a heavy suit and more suited to a scout.

I prefer to look on the bright side when it comes to game mechanics, instead of dismissing everything and whining. It's a lot more fun and much more productive that way.

Regardless, such speculation is silly considering CCP haven't announced any sort of module, and based on the snail's pace of development for the game that has been demonstrated up until now it would be unrealistic to expect any new as of yet unannounced additions (especially player suggested ones) to materialize over the next few years. They've got enough promised content sitting on the backburners to last at least 3-5 years at their current rate of development.

In the end, I honstly think the infantry gameplay in Dust 514 is pretty terrible as it stands, and the continously decreasing TTK is IMO at the root of the deterioration of said gameplay. The game was the most fun (again, IMO) when it was still a tracking shooter with a high TTK and a heavy emphasis on squad position and coordination. With each new update that TTK goes down, and the gameplay suffers. Any suggestion, such as the one in the OP, to further reduce the TTK and tactical awareness required on the battlefield will continue to dumb the game down and make it more of a noob friendly CoD style frag fest... and there are already numerous examples of other games that do that sort of thing much better than CCP could ever hope to do it.

This game used to be a blast when it was a slow moving, squad oriented, tactical shooter where your positioning and squad makeup was more important than who had the fastest twitch reactions. Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy twitch FPS quite a lot. it's just that this game is at it's best when it goes the other direction.

Out of curiosity, how would you have handled the belligerent and rude remarks that were said as personal attacks as opposed to polite expressions of disagreement?
