Hi Everyone,

This is my initial comments of Dust 514. I just got the beta today and I'm hoping my input will help CCP make a better game. I'm sure the issues that I am going to point out are some points that have been iterated many times over so just bear with me.

1. Hit Detection/Lag- What the hell is this garbage? The hit detection on this game blows. It seems like my bullets are going into thin air even though I'm getting that red x. This and add the lag and you have a pretty ****** time.

This is the biggest issue with Dust. An FPS needs to have weapons and all that jazz, but hit detection is most important to an FPS. CCP get this right.

2. Weapon recoil-Dust 514, if you fix the hit detection, takes no skill. Why? There is practically no recoil on the GUNS! Not only that, Hipfire is just as accurate as ADS? Wow. Put some spread please.

3. Movement-God, Didn't know that sci-fi worlds were made of Molasses and Quicksand. The movement is so slow and clunky.

4. Weapon Switch with triangle- HELLO? Need I say more to this? Why do I have the retardo wheel? No thanks.

5. Names- It's a small feature but I would like to know who my enemies are and who my teammates are. It's probably a glitch but Sometimes, I can't see the names of my teammates at all, and I accidentally shoot them.

Overall, Dust 514 sucks super hard right now. I can't believe that this is the beta build they have for us. Keep in mind that this is the beta! That means it's one stage before going GOLD, which means that if they were to make any changes, they wouldn't be super drastic. I'm really disappointed with this game so far. An FPS needs to be smooth and the hit detection needs to be spot on. Weapons need to have recoil. Poor Show CCP.

I don't understand how you will bring this to the e-sport scene with all your Molasses Shenanigans.

E-sport suggestions. CCP has stated that in 2013 that they will expand into the e-sport scene. Well, hopefully all problems I mentioned above will be fixed. Here are some e-sport suggestions

1. Make e-sport matches to contain stock armor and stock weapons only, or open all skills, armor, and weapons to be available to everyone.

This evens the playing field making it show skill only. Everyone has access to all equipment or everyone has the same equipment.

2. No. Vehicles.

You want to showcase skill and talent? No vehicles. Gunskill only.

3. Maps- Obviously CCP has said that it will be a gladiatorial arena so I'm guessing that the maps will be small enough to support 4v4 only.

4. 4v4 is the magic number- For esports, 4v4 or sometimes 5v5 is the best number due to the fact that it is easier to communicate and work together, and it is easier for spectators to watch. Watching a 16v16 would be way to hectic. Watch any esport game that contains FPS. Counter-strike, CoD, Halo- All these games only have teams that consist of 4v4 with the exception of Counter-strike that does allow 5v5.

5. Game-modes- CTF, Escort, and a "Search and Destroy" type of game type (1 life respawn). Counter strike- has the search and destroy and escort game modes while Halo has the CTF game modes. Copy them. They got it right.

Overall, if you want to make it a good e sport game then follow these guidelines. Plus the fixes mention in the beginning. I have great hope for Dust 514 and I believe that with these fixes, it will be a great and competitive game.
