DUST Search - Any Closed Beta VETS?

I only played the last 2 weeks of the Closed Beta, but thatGÇÖs technically enough to be a Closed Beta vet. I started just a few days before DUST was moved to the Tranquility Server.

I believe the general consensus is that the Open Beta was a high point in DUST, being both better than the Closed Beta, and better than the first year of DUST after official release. With the release of Uprising DUST went downhill steadily, and was at its worse in Uprising 1.7.

This downhill slide stopped with 1.8 which made DUST fun again. Then Rattati took over and started his balance Hotfixes, and with each Hotfix DUST got better. It is generally agreed, even for those see the past with rose colored glasses, that now DUST is finally in a better place than it was in the Open Beta. The only real argument is on weather Open Beta DUST was surpassed in Hotfix Bravo or Hotfix Charlie?

I never got to play it myself, but I think generally to feature of the Closed Beta that I hear people ask for the most was Skirmish 1.0.

To me it was more of a challenge and I do miss some of the old map set ups. I miss the peak and the sniper battles that where had, You think 1-2 snipers where bad imagine a Mt. of snipers. Crazy times. Can the other voices in other peoples minds hear my voices in my head????

And hilarious to hunt because I could absolutely count on a madpost on the forums the instant I put it down like Old Yeller. I LOVED hunting Sagaris. EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

Wrong. There was Aim assist. It was removed in Uprising, and was brought back in in 1.4. Because you wanted to be something you're not. A hero. Do you feel like one now?

Lonewolf Heavy Chaotic Company 147	Posted - 2014.11.19 15:26:00 - [40] - Quote I miss skirmish 1.0, which honestly could be brought back as a "new" game mode (Which would be amazing). But other then that, I think Current dust is amazing! No more Deathships or God tanks, significantly better Hit detection, Beautiful aesthetics, and parity being some of my favorite things about current dust. The only things I honestly want at this point is parity amongst Heavy weapons and PvE. With those, My personal dream of dust will be complete and I'll be 100% satisfied. Sentinel/Commando

Sharpshooter skill for HMG it increased weapon range by 3 or 5%? It was absolutely GODLIKE! Old Magnus peak map used to look a Star Wars movie Lazors melting everything. Proto stomps used to be real bad back then. sitting in the war barge watching the opposite team filling up with imperfect, PFBH, internal Error was something else.

I never got to play it myself, but I think generally to feature of the Closed Beta that I hear people ask for the most was Skirmish 1.0. No hotfixes have yet to balance scouts. AV was made overpowered. Specialised tanks are overpowered still. Sentinels are still super slayers. There is still ADS abuse. Stealth, something that never belongs in an FPS as is it gives very few too much of an advantage, is still here. 4 out of five suits still have no completely solid role for teams. The strongest weapons are still the easiest to use to a certain majority. Still we have maps more empty than a visual concept of nihilism. Hotfix charlie made the scout problem worse. Hotfix Delta only made guns more powerful/harshly less useful instead of targeting efficiency. Players can literally outstrafe your ability to aim, regardless of sensitivity. You don't run as fast as a human can.(Taking out the fast paced part of this FPS, and the maps have the same effect) There are still many problems left. Sometimes I question the Dev's choices, but mainly you could say that Uprising 1.8, and possibly other versions, was a product of the Devs listening to a harshly complaintative community. Complaints with no logical reason, just "Boo hoo I want my rail rifle to do 1,000,000 damage in point blank CQC and have the bullets pass through the player and explode like a nuke so I can get easy kill streaks with my unpractical gun". Mainly selfish or silly demands. There is going to be compensation for these issues now, luckily, yet if people don't stop this pure progress has yet to be made.
