You can find me on Steam as Maken Tosch. You'll know its me when you see my Eve Online profile pic which is similar to my Twitter profile pic. I think Draxus Prime is with me there.
I'm currently trying out Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to at least get my KB/M game on since I my handling of the KB/M is as rusty as the Scout Mk.0 I often run in.
After spending about 3 hours playing this game I can tell that there are some things in that game CCP can use as an example of what NOT to do in the New Eden FPS for PC.
What Not To Do:
1. Spawn us in the middle of nowhere with only an 8-second invulnerability only to find ourselves at the cross hairs of your enemy in a map that doesn't have any safe zone whatsoever. Hell even Splatoon on the WiiU has safe zones.
2. Create an inventory system that doesn't seem at all clear. Sure, Dust had problems with this too but at least in Dust I knew which weapon was my primary and secondary and what I had equipped along with that. In CS:GO you don't have that kind of clarity. At least not at first unless you read through the community tutorials.
3. Allow players to host their own servers. Seriously, it's bad with hackers these days who can control their own servers. At least in Dust the only cheats that were available were glitches that were deep in the game's legacy code and NO ONE hosted their own servers since CCP was the only host in control from beginning to end. It won't prevent serious cheaters, but it will make it very difficult for them.
4. Cause the game to crash to desktop. It's annoying.
What CCP Can Learn From CS:GO:
1. Weapons Range. Seriously, we need this. At least in CS:GO I was able to understand each weapon in a controlled environment and even test myself for the sake of self improvement.
2. Able to maintain 30 FPS on an average gaming rig.
3. Allow full customization of controls. Meaning I want to individually set a command for each button on my mouse, keyboard, joystick (if I was a derpship pilot), and controller (if I'm still into console controllers). This is something everyone and their grandma has been asking for since the dawn of time. There is no excuse for not having this level of flexibility especially now that the game is moving to the PC where it is standard practice to do so.

That's the thing, I don't even sense that. I'm mainly playing death matches on Dust II (the name of the map in CS:GO) and every time I die I don't really feel any direct sense of loss. I guess I have gotten so use to Dust 514's concept of loss that dying in CS is not impacting me like it should. If anything, Dust made me better at it.

Looks like I already found my next hard-mode weapon in CS:GO.
The R8 Revolver.
That damn this is hard as hell to get any kills with its long recoil time and the level of accuracy needed to kill anyone effectively. I'm forced to lead my corners while keeping the barrel of the gun to eye level to increase my chances of getting head shots while minimizing the need to re-adjust my aim. It seems to have its own quick-fire by slapping the striking bit but it throws off my aim a bit when I do that. If I want to get an accurate first shot I have to pull the trigger but it's a slow animation so every shot has to count. But when the shot is on target, it will hit that player like a truck. Just one or two shots is enough to take out anyone.
But again, it's a tough weapon to use. Some players on voice chat even told me to not use it because it was "too hard to use" but I told them "I'll use it for that very reason then. I like a challenge." They sounded confused after that. XD
It's also my primary weapon with no other secondary fitted.
I'll also keep practicing with the knives to see how to best use them.
Overall, this is the best game to hone in your skills with the keyboard and mouse while waiting for CCP to announce the new game for PC. And if anyone has CS:GO you can friend me on Steam. There is also a Steam Group called DUST Phoenix where we can get together and form squads.
