I hope it stays as unique as it is, well, when it's out of beta, because right now, it's quite broken.

I just wanna start out by saying you guys are making an awesome and truley innovative game. Despite all of the kills that should've been mine because of wonky hitboxes, missile turrets making tanks dance, and my PS3 giving me the middle finger every round (all of which have been addressed), I'm still having a blast.

That said, you are inviting 10,000 players into the game. I wouldn't doubt a lot of these guys are going to be CoD / MAG / Starhawk / Unreal / whateverFPSI'mmissing players. I just have one request to you.

Please, when these guys offer input, remember that this game isn't supposed to be another CoD with everything nerfed down to two-shot kills and ninja's knifing everything, or an extremely fast-paced rocket launcher & flak cannon fragfest. This is an extension of Eve and should put teamwork and fittings first and foremost. Everything has a strength, and everything has a counter, with a few oddballs that can fill niches that the other suits lack. No matter what suit you're in, you can't do everything.

I just don't want you guys to succomb to floods of ragethreads (if they pop up) saying that "I can't kill this suit fast enough with my pea shooter NERF PL0X", or "MAEK TEH CARZ GO FASTUR I DYE ALOT". You guys are doing an awesome job so far, and all I've been playing is this low-textured old build.

I would also like to join my former's request in giving us a chance.
Granted, the world of PS3 is full of bunny hopping, childish, arrogant twats. But you must keep in mind that for someone to get a beta key at this point they must:

1. Enter PS Home (It's horrible)
2. Successfully complete a bunch of silly quests (Who has the nerves for that?)
3. Win a game of Slay (Really? Console kiddies thinking?)

I have a slight hunch there won't even be 10,000 new players. It's just a crazily high number for what's actually required to get in now.

I myself am a former EVE player. I left a few years back as it was taking up too much of my life.
I have also served in an actual army so I do understand the importance of teamwork and specialization.

You should keep the faith. We're not all bad. :)

I fear alot of people here might be under the stereo typical concole kiddie impression that is rammpent on any PC game i play and then admit i mostly play concole, in actual there are very good players on both types of system and not only does the steps above limit who gets in but very few people still know about the thing in home its almost hidden,so you need a interest first thing is about 90% of players ive seen on e3 comments and all that never heard of it often wondering when was DUST 513 relesed.

problem is to say that this tread is suggesting they ignore there potential fan base, i agree that CCP should stick to the vision and create a DUST that will be remembered as one of the greats of gameing that becomes on of the stapples like COD or battlefield and hopefully not one of the ones that died out like unreal tourny on PS3

I'm not asking that they ignore the fanbase, since they're the ones that'll be signing CCP's paychecks, just that they take their own vision into consideration when reading the requests and suggestions of the newer players. This is a great game because of CCP's ideas, and I'd hate for a group of CoD fanboys to come in and disrupt the path the devs are taking because this game isn't close enough to what they're used to.

Well said, sir. And to all of you who are coming here from more popular shooters, I think as long as you're willing to change your playstyle to fit the type of game you're playing, you're exempt from the "CoD kiddy" archetype.

When I talk about "CoD kids" in frustration, it's the people who lone wolf with an assault rifle headfirst into an enemy encampment, thinking their 1337 skills will beat out anything that can be thrown at them, or spend all their time just hunting kills instead of even remotely working on taking objectives or defending or whatnot.

This game is going to pretty much require teamwork to win. Maybe not from every last person, but at least a significant portion of a team.

I fully expect people just learning the game to be running around confused. I know I was at first. I think there's a bit of information overload at the start, and would highly recommend an offline tutorial against bots to familiarize with all the HUD/Map icons, the general flow of the game and the importance of Clone Vats.

Seen a lot of games lost because everyone is so focused on the lettered objectives that they completely ignore everything else until they realize all their spawn points are gone and the enemy is just camping your base's spawns and you are pretty much sunk.

In general, it's hard to get random PS3 players to work as a team, but I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised by how much of it I've seen the few times I got to Squad Lead and lay down waypoints for people.

Speaking of which... If you're Squad Leader, lay down some waypoints! Give the squad orders! I've only had one match where a not-me SL was giving orders, and the difference tends to be big. People follow blinking objectives. They don't tend to check the map to see where squaddies are and follow them around.

Of course, there are exceptions to any example anyone can give, and I mean no disrespect to anyone who feels I'm attacking the way you play.
