Zekain K Expert Intervention Caldari State 1135	Posted - 2014.02.24 17:54:00 - [1] - Quote Because we need to. I remember the time when I first started playing this game, and oh boy did u suck at the time. The fact that I couldn't tell frirndly from foe also made quite difficult to kill anything. Player markers hovering off my FOV was so annoying, but it eventually helped my with my aim because I needed to be sure my cross hairs were red before firing. When I eventually achieved my proto suit, I brick tanked that thing ling before it was cool. Complex extenders, and complex armor plates. I later found out that stacking so many plates was not a good idea at the time, and eventually switched most of them out for repair mods. Blue berries seemed smarter back then too... although I guess most of those blues were us at that time. You can really notice that mentality difference from the blues back then, and the ones have now. *CALDARI not so MASTER RACE* Forum Warrior Level: 10

Zirzo Valcyn Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 140	Posted - 2014.02.24 18:13:00 - [11] - Quote self reppiing with repair tool. dropship spam from them being free and very easy to fly. waiting for the weekend for servers to open. yea and the blue berries were way less annoying. you had to be truly interested in dust back then to put up with it and pay the $20 fee for weekend access. now it's a free game and choked full of mouthy noobs who are taking a break from COD. there is a huge difference in mentality of players from then and now. u can ban the troll out of the forums but u can't ban the forums out of the troll.

XD I gave that $20 way back in June of 2012. I was to scared to use the BPO gear cause I didn't know if I would lose it or not. Also, I remember when it only made sense to shield tank with a few regulators. I still stacked plates and reps xD "I do agree with you there though. shudders" -Arkena Wyrnspire
Kristoff Atruin Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1714	Posted - 2014.02.24 18:32:00 - [17] - Quote Remember how much SP we got per match back then? I realized it was so that we could fully test the skill tree, but it was so disappointing when it was cut down to current levels.
Berserker007 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 458	Posted - 2014.02.24 18:38:00 - [18] - Quote I remember the god of weapons, Creodron Breach AR; when it had 56 (I believe) round mag doing a base damage of 67. Killing everything including tanks with it. Then we have the free firing swarms, soooo much fun and lolz doing that. When AR's actually had a scope/camera. Points where heavys we OP as well; then we had untargetable scouts b/c of strafe speed and hit detection. We also had Black Ops Tanks; that didn't work of of course, but we had them. So many other fun memories Ahhh, the good old days Closed Beta Vet Mordu's Trials Winner Original IMP

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 6987	Posted - 2014.02.24 18:42:00 - [21] - Quote I'm not sure I want to talk about the good old days. Hell, I'm not even sure if we should call it the good old days unless you mean it in a sarcastic way. 1. Playing Line Harvest over and over and over and over and over... 2. No way to communicate outside of the match. 3. Forming independent squads and corps didn't exist. 4. The suicide swarm launchers. 5. Manus Peak "bowl" map with all the OP laser rifles (they were OP at the time) making it look like a lethal discotheque. 6. Bad Furry. 1b. ...and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... 7. Predictable spawn points. 8. Default spawn area had NO redline for safe spawning (THE HORROR!). 9. OP Heavies with their OP HMG (OP at the time). 10. OP flay locks! 11. OP Mass Drivers! 12. Having to restart my PS3 one every two matches. 1c. ...and over and over and over and over and over and over... 13. The dance of death that lasted for so long in a 1v1 encounter that both sides literally run out of bullets before they resorted to meleeing each other. I can go on all day.

Swarm launching infantry, OHKing everyone!!! Brilliant. I'd always look for the highest mountain and see if I could drive off it, dumb stuff like that. I remember my high anticipation for Dust was shattered when I got the beta week 1, and comms weren't even a thing! I'd just sit in turrets shooting the MCC getting +75. Good bloody times.

Pvt Numnutz Black Phoenix Mercenaries 819	Posted - 2014.02.24 19:15:00 - [26] - Quote Sigh, I miss no auto aim. Finding a group of enemies, then doing the dance of my people dodging all of their ar shots as I drag them into view for my sniper. Lay a couple bursts into them then kill assist, kill assist, kill assist. I had a blast being bait.

My first impressions from playing Dust after playing CoD for several years was that first your turn speed was actually limited and played a factor (unlike spinning around a hundred times per second in CoD) and second it took several seconds to down someone as opposed to a tenth of a second.

There was something special about chasing a BPO Militia HAVs in a Dropship. Very cinematic. One time I failed to Monty Python a guy so I had to slowly grind him 20 or more meters along the ground until the kill notification popped up. Got some mega bad Karma for that one.
