I would like dust to have a incredible realisitc and fun combat system that rewards natraully quick or skillful players

cloaking is coming and I think it should be based off movement and mass so the bigger you are the less you van move around why cloaked or else your cloak is gone and the faster your moving the less cloaked you are, I also think it should be a module. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=30035&find=unread

Combat movements like sliding and diving roling those kinda things a pretty well covered in this thread, and bullets should stagger players. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=30188&find=unread


The red chevron are all about you being able to see the other guys Im suggesting it be more based off suits signature streagth vs your suits sensor streagth, suits with alot of low power modules would have small sigs there could even be modules that hide the sig better or improve your sensor its pretty well covered here https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=30088&find=unread

Portals would add a interesting futuristic element to game player players whoboutfit speicle hugely cpu/pg consuming modules be able to portal to a diffrent location, I know black ops tanks could possible be doing this but the suit module could be only for one suit were as the tank one would allow a portal to stay open for 10 or 15 seconds and a instalation could create of permenant portal. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=29841&find=unread

Tacnet and your hud could become a major part of the game I think I described it pretty well here please not this also works based of signature and sensor streagth as well https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=30172&find=unread

I think some good ideas for vehicles are in this thread having a subscreen for vehicles all ways showing a diffrent direction would be a great boon for vehicles and allowing tank owners to assign position within the tank among diffrent players https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=29430&find=unread

I think both ADS and hipfire should be viable methods within the game https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=29087&find=unread

cloaking coming the devs have mention interest in it.

staggering wont do much but it stop people from abusing sliding and diving

ah thats the halo thing, well it wasnt my idea but i thought i would add a intereting element to gameplay

all cloaking will do is cause people to camp

really sliding and diving prob wont work in DUST dont really see the use of it

lolsliding

cloaking is coming sadly, and yes ppl with cloaks will camp their asses off
bullets staggering ppl wont work bad idea

First No cloaking dumbest thing ever no place for it in a FPS,

maybe some cool movement like sliding but bullets staggering people no wont work,

yeah i can see that more power output your suit has the more easier you are to spot on the map

NO PORTALS!!!!!!! that can stay on HALO

others sound cool

all cloaking will do is cause people to camp

really sliding and diving prob wont work in DUST dont really see the use of it

I should point out that Halo doesn't have portals, and I don't know where any of you got the idea that it does. The only things that are in any of the Halo games are the "combat movement" thing (there's a combat roll as one of the Armor Abilities in Halo: Reach) and the cloaking thing (which CCP already confirmed was in the game), so I have no idea why Halo was even brought up.

Cloaking was always the point of the Scout suit, and you can see that by reading the description of the Scout suit on the main site. I think they should balance cloaking by disabling the shields of the user while cloaked, but regardless of anyone's opinions on cloaking, it's a confirmed feature.

Sliding, diving, ect could only work if they have a massive drain of stamina, you can't fire weapons while doing it, and the trajectory of your movement is predictable. Unless you use it properly, it should make you a huge target. I don't personally feel it should be in at all, but if they're going to do it, that's how it should be done.

Portals, if implemented, should be expensive and be something that's placed by the commander, not by anyone with the ISK to spend on it. I don't really think they'd work without completely screwing up map flow, though.

I don't understand why people favor a cloak that only works while standing still. This will lead to overpowered campers and snipers. It would be much more useful the other way around: it should ONLY WORK WHILE MOVING, and you should become more visible when you slow down, and get fully visible when you stop moving.
Why? Because someone sneaking past enemies and getting to objectives and setting down drop uplinks is FAR more useful than an invisible camper or a sniper.
To balance it, you should not be able to hold a gun while cloaked, and any melee should disable the cloaking until a cooldown time has passed.

Invisible snipers and campers is NOT the way to go

I would like to add:

Cloaking should be an equipment module requiring a moderate amount of skills to use, and different grades of the cloak module (standard, advanced, and prototype) should have progressively better cloak duration, and levels of invisibility; for example standard cloak modules should only have 10 seconds of cloaking before the cool down, have a strong refraction effect that gives them away to those who pay attention, but the refraction effect should be much less in higher grade cloak modules, and prototype cloak modules would be able to be invisible for 20 seconds before having to cool down. There should also be different variants each with varying strong points and weaknesses.

Chevrons (the symbol over a player's head) should not appear on a cloaked player, even if his cloak is unconvincing visually.

Weapons (even knife) should not be usable at all until cloak is disabled. I don't mean once you fire or knife that the cloak turns off, I mean you can't fire or knife at all until you turn off the cloak, or until it has to cool down.

Cloak disabling should make a electrical discharge sound. This would give observant players a chance of spotting a newly de-cloaked enemy who is about to knife them in the back.

Cloaking should be meant for avoiding combat, not getting stealth kills.

There should be deployable equipment designed to locate enemies, and higher levels of this equipment should spot cloaked players at a certain proximity. I think there is an equipment listed in the store (though not currently in the game) that might fit this.

Cloak should be more easily fitted in a logistics dropsuit compared to other slot; they have lots of PG/CPU, and cloaking would be great for avoiding combat for the sake of supporting others (like sneaking past enemies to place a drop uplink).

Can't really think of more right now.

First No cloaking dumbest thing ever no place for it in a FPS,

1 halo didnt invent portals so i dont know y u went there first, but i agree there shouldnt be portals (exept maybe as instalations in the future)
and 2 bullet stagger is not even that big of a deal and if im not mistaken there is some form of that coming SOONtm

Cloaking is coming. Countered by high CPU/PG costs likely, also expensive, and can be disrupted by EWAR.

Sliding and diving is an OK idea, and honestly prone should be added. Camping is a problem in any FPS, adding an added layer of stability is a good idea, plus will facilitate ambushes better when corp battles come around.

Bullet stagger makes sense, especially versus lighter dropsuits like scouts, would make their notorious ability to "dodge" bullets a little easier to manage. Obviously would affect a heavy less, with moderate stagger for Assault or Logi classes.

I dunno, they aren't bad ideas really.
