Every game has a trial by fire when it comes to multiplayer competition. League of Legends was a nightmare trying to learn to play. PvP in WoW was really tough learning how to use my skills against different opponents in different situations. Playing Modern Warfare 2 for the first time was just a conga line of buses driving over my face one by one. DUST is the same. I can say it does get better; it just takes time and patience.

I assume by now someone has already replied with HTFU * but I don't think that is the best way to look at it. The better way to look at it is once you get to a certain amount of skills, both SP and 'game-sense' wise, you are going to be able to do just fine. Learning how to adapt to a situation and pull every ounce of an advantage out of it will help you significantly. To go all After School Special on you: "it gets better."

DUST does need some kind of training mode. Even just walking around an area shooting installations that have 200 HP and are not resistant to infantry weapons would be better than nothing. Remember when EVE first came out and there was NO introduction, just you floating in an Ibis wondering what the hell to do? EVE got better at New Player Experience (NPE) and I truly believe DUST will too.

Hang in there mate. Try to get into a good corporation, DUST University is a great starter, and join up in a squad. Get a microphone, make some friends, and (if you are of age of course) have a beer while laughing at the rag doll you just saw.

Edit: I was wrong! ^_^

YET Mud-Humping for the Kitties... and the cash

Edit: I was wrong! ^_^ the training mode would be good, coz your dumped in and have no idea what any of it does, also, have i missed something or is there some kind of proper tutorial type thing somewhere? as my "sister" (me) is a Pod-jockey i understand the skill books and weapon differences and how to fit out a suit.. but is there anything to explain at least some of it to properly new players who have never touched or heard of the EVE universe? it's way too much.. i know it should get better in time, i joined EVE in 2007 and have seen a marked improvement in the rookie entry tutorials and help, so hopefully Dust will follow..

Also try to spawn in uplinks where the battle isn't going on unless you have a squad that's rushing the objective and you want to help them. lol thank you :) although i had already worked out the tank one are the coloured suits the prototype or higher tier gear? why a black suit in particular?
