Really good series so far. Might be worth posting a link in the rookie training ground and submitting it to the new guide compilation? Not sure if it's still being updated given the current situation, but more visibility is always good.

Surviving Dust: Strategy and Tactics
1) Evasive Action as infantry
2) Squad play in following a good Squad Leader
3) Squad Play in being a Squad Leader
4) Vehicles 101 (What are they, SP requirements) *I think vehicles are advanced concepts
5) Vehicles 201 (When and how to use vehicles) *When to shield tank, when to armor tank, etc.
6) Vehicles 301 (Advanced Vehicle Tactics) *vehicle vs vehicle combat
7) PC (what is it and how it differs from the rest)
8) When to Specialize and when to be versatile *Pure LOGI vs a Slayer type logi and other examples
9) MLT fits for Ambush to grind ISK
10) Picking your battles (can't win every fight so knowing when to run)
11) Infantry AV


I think you can shorten the Surviving Dust: Guides to being a lot less. There isn't much of a reason to differentiate so many details, you can probably explain all suits in one guide. In addition, It would be better to just talk about LW and HW as opposed to listing AV weapons and then having a guide on HW. Just note the AV weapons in the HW guide.

Whataguy's guide to GG (get good) quick in Dust 514:

1.) Learn skill tree interface
2.) invest into CR, Scout, Cloak
3.) R@pe face until CCP's "balances" occur
4.) Cry for respec
5.) Distribute points into the next OP FotM
6.)Continue from '3.)'

GÇó I'm pretty sure It's Dust Five One Four and FiveFourteen Just doesn't sound right. This is a personal tick i know.

GÇó If i'm watching a tutorial/guide about what DUST514 is i would expect to see more weapons than a CR the whole video.
( clearly you have some awesome footage, with PLC, Bolt, Tanks. because that RE/PLC kill at the end was pretty awesome. )

GÇó Maybe a video about the concept of shield vs armour or will that be covered in the Racial video?

GÇó Am i skipping my pills or is there no equipment guide?

So for AV, I'm looking for someone to record my corp mate and I doing AV effectively. Would you be interested? Had two people pop up but I want to make sure that I have plenty of resources to tap. And getting more than one person to record and comment is very helpful.

I think you need to emphasize unlearning a lot of tactics. Moving is your friend in this game, if someone is shooting at you keep moving and fire right back if sprinting to a better position isn't an option. If I had a nickel for every newberry I see come creeping around a corner crouched with an AR in hand, i'd have a lot of nickels.

If players have played halo before tell them the gun play is pretty much copy pasted from that. This game is a seniority based rpg shooter and you are the new guy. You aren't going to win many 1 on 1 firefights so try to ball up with your team. That said know when to quit as well because if you are going 0/16 you are hurting more than potentially helping. If they haven't played Halo then just tell them to never stop maneuvering. If they are going to ADS, tell them to ADS behind objects but don't ADS a target that is staring you down with more ehp.

Also, use the damn swarm launcher you are handed in the frontline fits when getting harassed by vehicles. You won't do a lot of damage but it will do more then you shooting your rifle at the tank/dropship. You would be suprised how many vehicles narrowly escape death and av players could of used a little more dps on their side. Ideally learn to use the militia forge or PLC as they have better burst damage then the low level swarm launcher but this will require the player to make the fitting themselves.

Never snipe from the same position as other snipers and don't snipe if your team doesn't have a progressive battle line. You aren't going to help push the line if you're losing ground.

Last but not least play around with building militia suits before you ever start skilling into things. Militia gear though crappy is still accurate enough to give you an idea of what you would like to use in the future.

Just a few things I can think of off the top of my head that I see your average newberry doing that needs to ******* stop doing that.

Really excellent series.

You should make a 15 minute video ...
