Here are a few ideas that I believe could improve the game:

1. Vehicle controls should be altered. I believe the driving controls should be R2 to go forward, L2 to reverse, left analog stick to steer, and the right analog stick to look around. Keep triangle to switch seats.

2. It is much too slow to switch to the sidearm. I actually wish it wasn't mapped to R2 as well. Triangle would be much better. Make the right analog stick switch stance. L2 melee and R2 grenade.

3. The reload animations are a bit too long in my opinion.

4. I think the maps should look different based on the atmosphere of the planet. Fire, Ice, Forest, Desert, Storms, Snow. You could also have ancient cities, refineries, villages, architecture of the different cultures, mines, etc. Variety is always nice and should set the maps apart.

5. All the classes should have unique weapons and abilities that help the team. Assault is useless right now.

6. Additional cosmetic variety between classes and enemies. Should be able to look at player and tell what class they are playing.

7. Aim assist and voice chat should be enabled by default.

8. Higher default looking sensitivity.

9. Camera should be farther away from character in HQ.

10. Improve textures and effects

11. Grenade indicator for friendly and enemy grenades. Make indicator different colors.

12. Hit boxes need to be adjusted.

13. Reloading while running would be great.

14. Stamina meter is a bit annoying, would prefer unlimited sprint.

15. Hold breath while sniping if not already possible.

16. More class based game play similar to battlefield but on a greater level so people work together more.

17. Engineers can build temporary structures such as gun turrets

18. Press down to open a scroll wheel to select a vehicle or structure with analog stick. Look to Star Hawk for inspiration.

19. Traditional menu would be nice with a server browser and from there you can choose to go your HQ. Would have all the features and options available when you press start. HQ feels sort of gimmicky to me since its so small.

20. Orbital drop system for spawning would be awesome. I know it is in both Section 8 and Star Hawk but it makes sense in this game since you are working for the Eve Online players.

I have a feeling this is going to be an awesome game when all is said and done. :)

Why did you post these here?

THis is for a feature not all around gameplay improvements, make another thread with all this, and i'm sure you'll get some good replies.

Sorry about that, I had two windows open and it seems I typed my response in the wrong one. Here is the name of my thread if anyone would like to join the discussion and leave feedback: Ideas to Improve Dust 514 Sliding could be a good feature if implemented correctly but I can't imagine the soldiers performing this action with the graphics engine in its current state. Perhaps make it a skill and not something everyone can do?
