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) |
