Sorry about the ambiguous subject, i noted a lot of things throughout my playing of the game and so I thought it would be better to list them all in one thread rather than make multiple with proper heading's of the feedback 
1. Button re-mapping
Now I play a lot of FPS games, each have their own control sets which can make it quite hard to transition from game to game. Luckily though they all offer the option to re-map the controls to different presets of buttons. Dust 514 however, doesn't. It only offers one control set which can be changed and honestly, this has made it really awkward to play for me. I can't seem to get used to the buttons, especially since CCP have gone with some rather odd choices such as R2 to switch weapons.
It would be great if some different control presets, or even custom button remapping could be implemented and would help me and a lot of others who play other shooters to ease in to the game easier and more comfortably.
2. Sniper rifle sway
Just a thought, but i think that the level of sway on sniper rifles when standing up is too low, Obviously doing this in real life it would prove very inaccurate and this is usually replicated in games where crouching must be used to gain higher accuracy. This is also present in Dust 514 but not to the level where it really impacts the player in my opinion and sniping can be done very easily from standing up, at least in my experience. Therefore i think it should be raised.
3. Battle finder filter
A small request now, I think the Battle Finder should have a filter where, for example, you can filter out all games not from your continent or can filter so that you just see "Ambush" games for the purposes of finding the games that you want to play in easier and for reducing clutter on the table.
4. Run from crouch
Another small annoyance I've found while in battles on the game, there is no way to run while you are in crouch mode, you have to actually press down the button to stand up before you can run which is very cumbersome and annoying, especially when trying to escape from incoming fire or a vehicle.
A simple solution to this would be to make the player automatically stand up when the run button is pressed while crouching so that they can immediately start running and don't have to go through the cumbersome process of doing it themselves 
5. Heavy damage indication
I would also like to see more indication of heavy damage to the player around the HUD while in combat, Currently i don't really know when in low on health unless i look at the meter which isn't practical in the heat of battle.
6. Re-enable Help prompts
Didn't see any way to do this so just though I'd raise it here. I would like to have a way to re-enable the help prompts that you see where you visit the marketplace and other areas, I've accidentally pressed O on a few of these so that they aren't shown again when i haven't fully read them yet and i now seem to be stuck as there seems to be no way of re-enabling them, in settings or otherwise. It would be good if there was a way to do this
7. Training Facility
Came up with this idea as it all seemed a bit overwhelming for me i was joining my first games, What was going on, what the controls were etc) .
So i got to thinking, it would be really good if there was a "training ground" so to speak where you could go and play a few practice battles against scripted AI opponents to you used to the game. In these battles, the game would go through the controls and allow you to try them out and get used to them as well as explain to you the different modes and how they play out so that when you do go and play real battles, you know exactly whats going to happen and what you the controls are.
Personally, i think this would really help new players get used to the game and make it so that they feel that they can go in on roughly the same skill level as an experienced player and have an enjoyable time on the game which is ultimately what everyone wants.
Hopefully, these thoughts will be taken into consideration as i truly believe that they would improve the game and make it a better, more enjoyable experience to play. Thanks for reading |

This is an splendid suggestion that would mostly make it easier to find more suited games.

Indeed this is almost as annoying as the reload animation cycle not finishing. |
