Been playing Dust 514 since June 1st, 2012
All proto Gallente Assault with Assault Rifle and Ion Pistol's completely max specced (all skills level 5)

Combat scenario: Me versus a handful ofAmarr Assaults with a Scrambler Rifles in a match.

These two little video clips are the ones where I should have had a clear, undisputed advantage in the situation for a variety of reasons:

- I have higher mobility (lighter armor/myros)
- I should theoretically have the best equipment in CQC (AR, Ion Pistol)
- My SP investment for this suit is maxxed out and cannot possibly progress any higher, I am literally at my peak
- My experience with the game and competitive combat should warrant at least decent skill-level
- My use of terrain was beneficial (if at first)

Here's how that played out.

No offense but you made a lot of bad decisions.

1) Bad positioning. The first battle, you had a great advantage. But you ****** it up. You fired to soon, and you can't aim while jumping (you need more practice). Second battle, you had a significant position disadvantage.The second enemy was difficult, mainly because he was a significantly better position than you were ( higher ground, less body mass exposed) while you where fully exposed and had low ground. You made the right decision to reposition after encountering him, but you didn't show how you followed through with that. So I can't comment further on that. Also it was mildly infuriating watching you miss, what should have been an easy kill at the very end of the video.

3) Failure to use your jump mods to your advantage, instead you decide to cover indoors then immediately reengage with a fraction of your health. What you should have done was keep running allowing your health to replenish, anticipate that the enemy was going to follow you, then wait for him to pop in your line of sight (while always having another exit strategy). Either get better with myos or switch to damage mods.

4) Gun game left more to be desired. Not a great show of marksmanship here. You should practice shooting while jumping more, so you can use myos as an assault module rather than just a GTFO/repositon button. The first enemy we saw wasn't heavily tanked at all you could have killed him if you had better gun game than him and didn't fire too soon.


Ps. Cooking grenades on militia suits (AND MISSING!!!!)????

Very bad form man....

My Verdict? Ask the mods to delete this thread to save yourself from further embarrassment.

That was pitiful.

No disrespect but I could've down them (without the need of a stupid Core Grenade) and kept going.

Gk.0 & Ck.0 are my main suits.

Firstly used an Anti-Shield Semi-Automatic pistol in attempt to charge shot a heavy armour suit.

Followed up using admittedly what should be top tier CQC Anti-Shield Weaponry while you had 202 armour against a fully automatic CQC Anti-Armour Side Arm.

Not what I would have considered the best decisions in that scenario but I do understand the frustration of being subject to a charged shot then follow up volleys. It's roughly how I feel when a hit detection abusing Min Assault with half a hundred CR bullets just creates a wall of lead that cannot be dodged.

Personally I like the Idea of the ScR charged shot operating like the Ion Pistol, having a short animation post shot to prevent rapid application of further damage.

not with that fish suit...calamari get wrecked by SCR rifles

Tell that to the multiple amarr assaults Nelo took down

For real?

If I had gotten closer I would have had no cover - it's all open ground in that area. The second fight we both had terrain advantage, he had a hill, I had an entire cargo container.

So many people came out to defend their crutch lol

In his defense I think he's a bitter vet who doesn't play that often anymore. I've been in corp with him for over 2 months and I've never seen him on.

If you hop on Dust for a couple matches every month or so and expect to dominate the way you did, it's going to be frustrating.

I have largely stopped using the AR after someone posted the weapon ranges a few weeks ago. I had just assumed I had poor hit detection. I now only engage at a range I would with an SMG and it's helped a ton. But like I said, I've found the ACR to be a much better option over the AR.

Read responses. Pretty much amounted to "You suck get gud scrub"

Heat of combat, when you're getting shot at, you don't have time to do the perfect thing and you can speculate on what -YOU- would have done all day, doesn't mean it would play out. Theoretical skill is just that. When all it takes is maybe five rounds from a Scrambler rifle to put you in the dirt then you start to consider things a bit differently and go on the defensive more often.




I put in my two weeks notice at work today just so I can be on more. I'm sorry I'm not on whenever you're on.

(Talk to ANON Illuminati about my activity if you really ahve that much of a freaggin issue with it but using it as evidence as to why I'm terribad or a bitter vet who doesn't play anymore is Adipem level Ad Hominem.)
