          There are several things that I feel could use improvement within Dust  514.
   First, I feel the Aim Down Sight is a little under powered. It feels  weak when you aim at somebody and start shooting them. I feel you  should look into it, because not only does it feel a little jerky, it  also takes several clips to kill somebody.
   Second off, you should remap the controller, or at least provide the  option to remap it. I've seen several complaints on that subject, and I  also agree that remapping it or having the option to remap it would be  a great idea, especially in the case of crouching and hacking. I  believe Circle and Triangle's purpose should be switched. You should  also be allowed to sprint while crouching. You can also do a poll or  something of the sorts to figure out what the players want currently. I  personally believe something similar to a big game will help people  from another game migrate to DUST 514.
   Third, as far as the graphics go, everything is good, but I feel the  fittings menu for both vehicles and dropsuits is a little fuzzy.  Increasing the resolution might help. Overall, the graphics are fairly  good compared to other games, thanks to Unreal. However, I think that  you could enlarge some of the letters, because they might be a little  difficult to read at times. All in all, there are of course a few  things you could improve. I think a minimap on the HUD with better  graphics such as ally and enemy awareness and terrain display is in  order. Also, on some occasions, explosions don't display. I think you  should look into that, because that reduces from the scale of the game.
   Fourth, I think the sounds could be improved. I think the gun sounds  should be a little more varied. The voice at the intro to a skirmish  area should be a little louder; most of the AI voices are a little too  quiet. Other than that, the sound is great.
   Next, as far as gameplay is concerned, its great, but I think there  are a few things that you could improve on. First, I feel that the maps  are a little too open. I think there should be a little more cover, but  not too much near the roads. I think there should be more buildings,  and possibly some wrecked vehicles. Also, cover should be more varied,  because it seems whenever I die, its in an open area. Next off, I  definitely would love to see more maps. Overall, I think you should  keep doing what you're doing. I love the game just because of the sheer  amount of things you can do. Everything seems balanced, except for the  damage from the ADS and the SMGs could use a little more power, but  otherwise everything feels right. I would love to see a steady increase  in blueprints and skills. I think that right now, the sheer amount of  vehicles detract from the gameplay, because running into several HAVs  isn't fun. However, I think its okay, because there are many ways to  counter them, but you might want to look into balancing it out.  The gameplay is alright, and again, I'd love to see what you do with  DUST in the future.
   Finally, continue to do the good job that you're doing and I'll  continue sending in my comments with everything I think about the game.
  ^ This was straight from what I had written yesterday. So, I sent this as an email, and this is just what I have to say about the game. Some of these opinions might change, but for the most part, this is what I think. Now, I might add more as far as my opinion is concerned. (Also, I'm new, so don't criticize too harshly and explain some of your lingo I might not understand) |
