Screen shaking when getting shot at? OP invisible grenades that now track and follow the nearest target? Buffed the already annoying heavy class and made it easier to camp in your spawn with a sniper rifle? Sounds like the gunplay is going downhill.

Looking forward to trying out the new features though.

"Gun play" must go down hill, but I am missing the one about fixing spawns as well.

First!
Looking forward to shooting you all!

More collision damage, ya that all fine but make the little objects like lamp post not instant kill ships...

- Added UI functionality to enable Keyboard and Mouse
- Keyboard and Mouse options page

Two biggest things that made me smile excessively:

1. Ability to melee during a reload. THANK YOU CCP!!!

2. Ability to sprint from a crouching position. About time.

Everything mentioned above is just a small subset of what weGÇÖre adding to DUST 514 next week. All of these features are just the latest improvements to an awesome massively-multiplayer first-person shooter that will be free to play for every PlayStation 3 owner.

In addition, weGÇÖre launching a free companion app on the Vita, DUST 514: Neocom, to augment your gameplay experience and let you customize your fittings, train skills, use the market, browse the starmap, and much more, on the go anytime and anywhere.

CCP why "fix " the aim assist when we asked an option to remove it altogether?

Yall have been busy. I am looking forward to this weekend when I can try it out.

Read again, it's there.

=== Misc ===
- Players will receive items as Salvage at the end of a match
- The player's character will appear in a Merc Quarter that correctly reflects the race of the station the character is in
- Updated interactive consoles in all MQs. Players can now find consoles for Instant Battle and Leaderboards in the Mercenary Quarters
- Updated interactive consoles in the War Room. Players can now find consoles for Leaderboards and Battle Description in the War Room
- The lock on UI will now target the entity, not the pilot of the entity
- The lock on UI will now be displayed when player is locking on using the repair tool
- Increased bleed out time
- Fixed spawn bug that only used a single spawn location...

so we'll only be able to group up to 4 people before entering battle ?
It's already somethin but I hope this isnt final.
Also, squads are made of 6 mercs, why only 4 then ?

Still a little vague on what is actually happening to them. Hopefully there is more, just couldn't highlight everything in the post.

Already confirmed in so many threads it doesn't need to be said again.

Good.

You have nooo idea...

Yeah, because Forge Guns need an even more powerful variant.
Well, you wanted tank free battles, here they come.

I'm excited to see how these Swarm Launcher and Nanohive changes shake out. Keeping them on the field after the user's death and giving them finite capacity makes sense, but I really hope I can get 4-5 full Swarm reloads out of one. (That or the Proto Launcher should get a damage boost, because it can take a heck of a lot of salvos to take down a well fit tank.)

I didn't see a single thing in there about fixing hit detection or reducing RBS.

You have nooo idea...

I'm hopeful that the nano hives running out of nanites will make people think twice about destroying the resupply points. Otherwise it's going to be really tough to be AV against a DR specced tank with 16k+ ehp. Overall though, if things work out the way I'm reading this, I think we'll see much more balanced matches and a LOT more Logi suits.
