Anticipating the release of DUST 514... months.
After release trying to find a PS3 for cheap... months.
Finally getting all the odds and ends of my home network and the PS3 up and running... days.
Waiting for the servers to come online... about a week.

First 15 seconds of actual play... a question pops up into my head...

... WHO THE F*** WAS THE LEFT HANDED DUMB SH** A**H*** THAT CAME UP WITH THE STICK LAYOUTS AND BUTTON CONFIGURATIONS???!!!

In NORMAL MODE also known as RIGHT HANDED, the LEFT STICK is for moving FORWARD AND BACKWARDS and for STRAFING LEFT and RIGHT and the RIGHT stick is for TURNING AND LOOKING UP AND DOWN... on nearly EVERY SINGLE FPS GAME EVER CREATED!!!

It feels like one guy programmed the buttons, and then a two year old programmed the stick layout.

The ENTIRE control scheme, no matter what configuration you go with, is completely A** BACKWARDS!!!

And the second question I have is this...

... who's the ****** who thought it would be a good idea to make it so you CANNOT change the stick configuration seperate of the button configuration???

CCP - DUST 514 control scheme team...

... Wake up and try researching OTHER FPS's... BEFORE you try to MAKE a FPS that SUCKS and is COMPLETELY unplayable. By the way... I particularly like the boxer configuration on another BETTER FPS that I am starting to think has a MUCH more COMPETENT design team on it.

You know you can change the button layouts right? And so far the controller layout on default is pretty much right on with other FPS

Yes, you can switch contoller layouts... the BUTTON configuration is not my main issue, although I would like a few more configuration varieties...

... MY issue is the STICK LAYOUT. If I choose righty, it's backwards. But if I choose Lefty, now my buttons are backwards.

In EVERY FPS I have played in the last 15 years, the sticks default layout is...

Left stick = move forward and backwards, and STRAFE (that side stepping movement) left and right.
Right stick = TURNING and LOOKING up and down.

EVERY FPS I have played either that is the default stick layout, or there is an option to switch it TO that layout WITHOUT having to switch the button configuration as well.

All i am asking for, is the option to switch my sticks to what I listed above... WITHOUT, having to switch my BUTTONS to a different configuration.

And then maybe make a button configuration where I can use one of the shoulder buttons for melee instead of a stick or the x or square.

And having the ZOOM set to the same stick that TURNS the character... do you have any idea how IMMPOSSIBLE it is to maintain holding the zoom stick in, AND trying to turn it to follow a target at 1000 yards. It DOESN'T WORK!!!

Mine is completing a match and then the game never leaves the victory or defeat screen. While you still lose all dropsuits burned through the match, you get no reward. What is frustrating you the most?

I have a few sharing top spot

• Entering a battle, finding all my fittings as invalid.
• Entering a battle, only to find it finished.
• Endless waiting for battle (Instant, it ain't).
• Getting randomly booted from battle.
• Re spawning in the middle of a red blob on Ambush.
• - Repeatedly

Re spawning in the middle of a red blob on Ambush.

This just started with the new build.

buy dropsuits and gear, make a fit. then join a game. in game it says all suits are invalid including the default starter kits.
i leave battle and check fitting and EVERYTHING i have purchased is gone and i cant restock.

I can't count the number of times THAT has happened...

all of these....but to add I also have a bug that makes it so I have to restart Dust if I get booted early from a match if I want to do a 2nd match...really annoying to have to restart DUST so many times.

where jeeps / tanks and likes can just squash you,

if you done that in real life your CO would be raping you with your own rifle.
if you want to run people over go back to grand theft auto.
its becoming a joke, hell even putting me of joining games now.

like my BUG post, its a easy way to make shed loads of SP, that should be an exploit via unfair gain.
if your run over, the person should not be granted with your kill and/or receive SP for doing it. you just fall and die thats it, no death mail no sp gain no salvage gain.

have kept well clear of dropships / jeeps/ and now tanks, i do not like them to be honest.
but this extra sp people gain from exploiting mechanics is wrong.

those that say move out of the way, get a freaking life, your the ones driving them.

if this sort of SP for kils was in eve, and camping gates gave a massive boost in SP gained,
an unfair advantage over others unless they to exploited mechanics, CCP would be running a large nerf bat right away.
stomping feet tantrums by eve players would not work, it would be classed an exploit and be fixed.

in eve there is now no way i can train skills faster than anyone else even maxed out with implant boosters and the likes. its set in stone, " you train at this speed". in dust you just camp/run people over and get a massive boost, there is not " this is what sp you will earn max".

this in turn makes CCP's 7 years to train all skills a lie. if you camp/run over people and get massive sp payouts those 7 years are cut back. did CCP take this into account ? i highly doubt it. they should have wrote it this way " will take upto 7 years to train all skills* " then in fine wrting at the bottom " if you exploit the fact you can camp and/or run over /squash people for larger sp gain and no worry at all"

Backing out of instant battle and when trying to start again the battle screen doesnt pop up and i cant move my merc. Or the game randomly freezing sometimes. (cost me a fewtanks)
