gotta go to the IRC chat for that (This has honestly been the strangest beta i've ever been a part of) (been beta testing PS3 exclusives for years at that)

same here ive been in pretty much every ps3 exclusive beta since i got my ps3 and this one is being handled very weird indeed

inb4fanboyssayitsarealbeta yeaaaaa.....alot of the others i played in were real betas too still wasnt handled this poorly

1. treating a beta like a celebrity event with "beta events" inviting ppl from gaming websites to play when ur CORE **** not even functioning properly = bad advertisement = bad reviews cuz ppl WILL judge it based on what they play = word of mouth being negative

2. Priorities all messed up....still cant get core stuff right yet we get a bunch of new cosmetic **** and more vehicles and toys to attempt to play with. NEWSFLASH doesnt matter how feature packed ur game is if the shooting is terrible ppl will not give it more than 2 matches at best when they dload it

3. When inviting ppl to a beta to work on the core mechanics invite ONLY the ppl who can give good feedback on that specific area TILL ITS COMPLETE THEN INVITE OTHERS. Having a bunch of EVE only ppl who rarely pick up a console controller or rarely spend time on a fps giving feedback on fps mechanics is laughable....thats like console fps player goin to beta test EVE and giving feedback on it like he knows wtf hes talkin about

Again no offense to the EVE only ppl but its the truth.
DUST is being marketed as a console game , everytime i hear someone say "well in EVE it works like this....." i get sick because some ppl cant grasp that not everything that works in EVE can be translated into a FPS its 2 different games and should be treated as such

I really hope you all realize there is a max range for your weapons, you cant just shoot halfway across the map with an AR and expect to actually hit anything...

just in case you haven't realized yet you cant even shoot across an entire map with sniper rifles...

from what i can tell hit detection is just fine when your in optimum range, but go outside of that and you're basically shooting at nothing.

To move the discussion forward we need "hit detection' to be defined. i think many people see it as different things.

First of all the hit box itself is great. You can shoot between the legs and miss the person, which is great. If you just is them, it is a miss, which is great.
I hate seeing games like CoD where you get hit in an extended finger and act like it was a full body shot.

Lag can cause you to miss when you think you hit. I find it annoying when I and shooting with a person in my cross hair and they do not take damage. That said leading your shot has been important in DUST and I like that.

Each suit does have a different shaped and sized hit box of course, so the Scout should be harder to hit. Now that the frame rate has improved the Scout suit is getting hit by more bullets. Things have improved greatly in regards to hitting a moving enemy.

The hit detection is not 100%, but it is also far from broken. It does certainly have issues sometimes and is more of a lag issue than a hit box issue.

before you start acting like a know it all pos douchebag actually bother to read the frickin post.

did i say ithat there was no problem with lag? nope, i said i have not had any problem with the hit detection in GAMES I PLAY.
but theres a solution for why your having trouble with hit detection its called the R1 button you press it to shoot the gun

so if there are no more questions mister evetard tryhard ill kindly leave so that you can start realizing what an arse youve made yourself look like on the beta while i was just voicing an opinion.

have a nice day

Just posting to support the creator of this thread. He is right on the money with this. It also seems there are too many fanboys in this community denying the fact that the game looks and plays like utter ****. I'm already disliking this game and the community. Good luck to you CCP if you think that only having a blind fanbase is going to help you in the end. I'm not going to buy "it's still in beta argument" either. Nothing has improved gameplay wise. You are still an FPS, it is the only actual gameplay to be had. So make it decent at the very least. This bullshit circle jerking is just awful.

I haven't played fps for best part of a decade (Rainbowsix3 on the x box 03/04). Played eve since 05 so I agree with op that I don't have a clue about what he means with hit detection. Sooo I will look a prat and ask for a definition too, so I can understand the problem and test it to. Hit detection being screwed doesn't help me with testing or understanding the mechanics of the issue.
