DUST Search - My General Feedback / What I Think Would Make The Game Better

NJShadow wrote:

This is a very rough write-up of some issues I've noticed, along with some feedback to hopefully make the game better. Again, this is my opinion, and may differ from yours.

-Character image pics in the beginning seem low-res. Could be high-def and look much sharper.
-A set of interactive tutorials would be fantastic (for gameplay, vehicles, clans/groups, etc.), as there is just so much to do in this game with so many options the normal old text tutorials just don't seem to do the job. I'm a console gamer, not a PC gamer. When I jump into an FPS, I want to get to playing, with a brief, yet concise list of instructions/details.
-The music that plays throughout the menus in the beginning eventually stops and never loops/turns back on.
-When the screen fades to black for any reason, there's a white line of light going down the right side. (I'm playing this on the PlayStation 3D/HD display.)
-An arc/direction marker would be a great addition for grenades, as it's somewhat difficult to tell where they're being thrown.
-I don't know why, but the enemy/friend indicator just doesn't seem that straightforward. I found myself shooting at friends on multiple occasions. (That's probably more me, not sure though...)
-Smoother aiming/frame-rate. The visuals are just a bit clunky and the aiming seems jumpy and jittery as well. I could understand having a low frame-rate if the visuals were of super high-quality, but it's just too clunky for the way this game looks.
-Scopes just do not help. OK, obviously they help... a little. But I found myself getting more frustrated with these scopes as I used them. This is a futuristic title, and yet I found myself pining for the use of a modern-day sight/simple sight. If these weapons are going to be futuristic, add some function to the sights. (I make reference to the Chimeran weapons in Resistance 3.)
-Quite a bit of screen tearing as you move the camera around the map looking down on the action.

Minor Bugs:
-Went to leave battle, game hung up and froze PS3.
-Got completely stuck in a spot on the map.

Like I said, this was a very brief write-up. I hope to produce some more feedback and bug reports, if given the chance. Thanks.

I wish the friendly indicators were always on no matter what the distance is, I end up shooting my teammates because I don't see an indicator at longer ranges, and I assume they're enemies just to be safe.
Boxoffire Lost-Legion 48	Posted - 2012.07.02 05:00:00 - [4] - Quote I got some: -sometimes you get stuck on sharp corners on the floor. Mostly around the places where terrain meets a structure like a wall. -Make the chat part of the HUD. it's a pain having to stop everything just to look at the chat. This can help with communication problems, more people who don have a microphone can participate in strategic planning. -for some reason melee doesn't work well for me. It doesn't respond well when I press R3, but that might just be me. -improve the mini map. Right now all it displays is a compass and the objectives on a blank are. atleast add some features of the environment and friendly positions and vehicles. -show friendly player's nametags above them frem far away when aiming at them. Sometimes I don't know if someone is a friend or foe and shooting them doesn't help much since friendly fire is one and you'll get hitmarkers anyway. That's about it. I also agree about the tutorial, I learned as I went. When I first started the game I read everything and still didn't understand most of things written. They should guide the player through as they are doing it. For example, give them money from the beginning, tell them to go to the shop, take them to the sections and make them buy the starting items. As the player goes through this the tutorial goves details on somethings like what the stats mean and where the important stuff are located in the HUD
Aiden Angel Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 49	Posted - 2012.07.02 05:14:00 - [5] - Quote I agree with many of these suggestions. I especially agree with: Better mini map, friend&enemy indicators, grenade indicators, adding chat onto the hud(but allow it to also be turned off), better tutorials, fix melee, smoother frame rate/aiming as well as fixing the graphical tears and pop in would be nice. Also, when an enemy team has hacked your console and the virus is uploading, you need to hack into to stop the virus. You do NOT get points for stopping the virus. You only get points for the initial hack. I think they should award points for stopping the virus. I also think they should off stats based off of team oriented actions.
