Zitro is the only one on that list that I've killed without assistance.

Beta vets win easily. Guys like Reg, Protoman, James (and all of the Bunnies), Tryhard514 (Znignflo), Mavado, YDubbs, Markof22 (PDiggy22) and the Shotgun Twins were utter NIGHTMARES to face. Most of Dust best beta players came from elite clans in MAG. True story. I left MANY off of this list but you get my point. The game now is more fluid and there are more weapon options now but these guys did it with less and with ease.

It isn't even like comparing Michael Jordan with LeBron James. More like comparing Michael Jordan with Russell Westbrook.

It really is no contest honestly.

Actually, he still plays.

Whilst I'm here, I might as well chime on the main subject - I can only speak for infantry players as that's all I ever played as. This list is based on individual skill alone, it doesn't factor in leadership skills, teamwork, tactics & selflessness.

Imo, the best to ever play the game would be: Protoman, Regnum, Alldin, Almighty, James, Tryhard, Fizzy, Kalente, Soul, Marauder, Funkmaster, Xero, Tiberius, Extacy & the twins.

If I were to factor in leadership skills, teamwork, tactics & selflessness... I'd add myself, Kujo, Cubs, Radar & Zatara to the list.

The best team to ever play the game would have to be TP, Imperfects had more individual talent but I doubt we could of beaten TP in their prime. They had a great leader in Cubs & simply worked better together as a team.

We all joined the game at different times so as a result we all have a different idea of who the "Legends" are, what tends to stay with us is who was considered to be the best when we first came onto the competitive scene; for some it was 6 v 6 corp battles & for others it was 16 v 16 PC battles.

The idea of facing some of the so called "Legendary" players from the beta is much scarier than the reality ever would be (if they were to come back that is) - It's hard to say if they'd be as highly regarded if they had stayed long enough to take part in PC battles.

The players who have been here from the beginning all say that James, Protoman, Regnum & Tryhard are the "greatest ever" b/c they were the first players to be considered the best in all of DUST & to us, no one since has ever lived up to them.

We're all guilty of putting past players on a pedestal b/c everybody romanticizes "the good old days", I choose to believe that the players I've mentioned above really were that good.

your my legend 13ear <3 made the logi job so easy to just walk behind u and hide over ur left shoulder

i still have both pictures and video recording of that one time...(only solid memory of running solo with you)
where you dropped like 60 kills in your assault and i ran behind you and dropped 43 and we both ran flawless you had about 3k wp and i had 4500 and we dropped 3 obs just me and you was ********


i miss supporting real slayers ;) now some consider me a killer and im like tsk tsk tsk you has no idea

Yeah, I remember us running as a duo on a few occasions. I did same with Zaria a few times too, although she tended to have less kills & more WP; she was always WP farming that one.

The thing I remember you for the most would be when you would get 20+ kills per game riding around in your indestructible logi-lav; I'd always hear you laughing like a maniac every time you caught someone we knew. :)

ahhahhahah yeah i miss them good ole days loved running over my friends in proto...best trol ever

I wish i was a legend...

Only time someone notices me is when it's Air to Air...
Other than that... I'm so poo in dust LOL

You are more forum-famous than game-famous.

I had a 50-0 game doing that..never lost 1..or when someone leaked our secret way of team killing in pubs..ahh why you guys make me remember

Who is the legend of the day?

I'd like to say it's Cyber Cobras or hmm.....

Try not to listen in anyone in this thread, people like zitro and the scout twins 17 year old boys were jokes, not because they were bad, but because people hyped them up SOOO much when in reality it was ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS just proto when proto was THE MOST OP ITS EVER BEEN, the exception being the scout twins who didnt need to run proto, because they were scouts.
As for every other person who was "OMGSOL33T", it was always the same thing, proto assault suit, no stacking penalty dmg mods, duvolle with sharpshooter 5(50% more range) weaponry 5(another free dmg mod, making a total of 40% dmg), and the GOOD hit detection of chrome, all up against EVERYBODY ELSE with 2 million spread out as fk skill points, the vast majority of players were using a mlt suit with either mlt weps, or geks, or elms.

We're talking about when a braindead player in a proto suit could have twice your range, twice your damage, and three times your hp, and you could go 30-0 with one hand.
We're talking about thales going 80-0 NO PROBLEM.
We're talking tanks like mine one shotting installations and 2 shotting rdv's from the redline, and with 3m of 400dmg splash, going 30-0 no problem.
We're talking viziams going 50-0 no problem.
We're talking core nades one shotting almost every suit.
We're talking standing in k17D nanohives made you LITERALLY INVINCIBLE their rep rates and total clusters were so high, ignoring the omfg proto ones.

All this against starter fits with the occasional gek that had half the range of these protos, duvolles with sharpshooter literally fired across the map, viziams on the pipe map could stand in the crows nest and literally cover HALF OF THE ENTIRE MAP FROM THE CENTER.
Oh and each tier of the weapon gave it better range, Im not exaggerating about twice the range twice the dps and 3 times the health.

A lot of you guys realize the beta top players... mostly fought each other? Where it was Proto vs Proto.

There's no excuse to why or how badly you guys got stomped in the past. It was a simple case of dedication vs not. Do a single one of you plebs even ask CCP to put Dust as an MLG?

Because that's what we used to ask from CCP. Back when players cared about how good they are.

How can you compare now to back then? It's obvious people were better back then cause we had a reason to believe we were planning for a 10 year future. That brings out the best in neckbeards.

But now there's no reason, no ambition, nothing. What exactly is driving you scrubs to be as good as players in the past?


To sum it up; yea, Beta players were miles better.

These new guys dont understand even a 2 week war, 12-15 PCs a day, trying to break down the defenses, or even hold your own, against a true team of beta legends. Peoples spirits were broken, on both sides..

Burn out used to be a real thing, constantly fighting the best 16 players this game has to offer probably killed more groups then any CCP update, lol.

It didn't used to matter how much land you owned or whatever, just that you had a good team of 16, there was always a way to make money. Nyain Chan made a ton using broken mechanics and shady community deals, but corps like PRO and STB actually made much more through taxes.

STB dropped nearly 3 to 6 BILLION isk trying to hold, retake, hold, and retake there planet again. Other groups have signed even bigger deals just to see certain groups always on there knees.

This game isn't even close to what it used to be.

All this talk about beta and chromo makes me wanna hop back on.

First off I have a few things to say before I continue, Apocalyptic Destroyer, just cause you don't have anything proper to say you just decide to hate on other peoples posts, man rethink what you say you hateful ____. Another point, all of you racist ______ that hate on Nyain Chan, man eat a fat ____. I ain't Asian but you guys are proper racist, so maybe you should shut your mouths for once, there ain't nothing wrong with being Asian.

Now to the point, a few people have been saying that the Beta "Legends" are the best players that ever played Dust and only a few good players still remain, I will now explain why this statement is wrong. But for you to understand me I need you to be open minded and understand everything I say. So when a Call of Duty game is released you have lots of people get it and play it for a few months and get really good at it, then there is a second wave of players at Christmas, they are called "Christmas Noobs". In the first year Dust got a small but constant amount of new players and since it is a confusing game it took weeks even months for the players to understand it. And what you guys call the Legends were able to kill these guys super easy as they had proto with good skills. If any of these players comes back now, he'll get slapped across the face with all the proto running around.

Most of you people suck at this game and rely too heavily on a squad to help you succeed.
