20% of those 20% I get hard lockups and need to power-button it down. This will not end well for my system.
Actually had to use power cable for this twice, because even power button would not work. I ended it like this yesterday and today my PS3 would not start using DS3 PS button, it had to be powered on with IO button on the console.
God, most of the time when I try the "End Game" it still resets my console (three beeps, reboot).
This is ridiculous. I actually funded a merc pack for my SO so she can get hooked and now I'm risking my system running the thing? I have nothing against the graphics, exp nerf, monies nerf, weapons nerf, but risking my console every time I run the game is insane. Especially since now Plus players are invited. To what? Breaking their rigs? This will surely make DUST more popular with peoples & invite loads of good press.
Oh yeah, there's the NDA so no problemo, amirite?
I know that this is beta. But this things should not happen post alpha.
The novelty effect faded off after 15 minutes, and all that was left was a half assed shot at a conquest game where you barely see more than 2 enemies at a time, vehicles run from one side to the other of the map and spawn camp, and you wander like an idiot for minutes on end, and fight for 15 seconds, everytime.
1) BAD HALF ASSED CONQUEST: very easy to see. too many simultaneous capture and spawn points on the map, people spawning everywhere and going anywhere. this should be something more similar to BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2 RUSH than conquest, since maps playable areas are so smaller to the standard conquest.
Additionally, maps are full of sharp edges that you can cross, but that make you jump and run uphill like an imbecile.
Everybody can see that It's really, really idiotic the amount of time you spend moving around from one objective to the other in search of something to shoot.
2) BAD, SPREAD ACTION: enemies and allies from all directions. It'd be cool if these were 128 player matches. But they aren't. You don't have a line of attack or line of defense. This is so stupid that even the term 'flanking' is inadequate. To be fun there should be a line of attack and/or a line of defense.
In the current state, game is not fun. Being spawncamped is not fun. Running like an idiot for something to shoot is not fun.
3) BAD, UNREGULATED VEHICLE COMBAT: map ranges and attack and defense lines are so ridiculously badly calibrated, that a single tank can single handedly win a game. Not to talk about the obvious, idiotic free for all chance to spawncamp.
Just for this sad state of things you should fire the imbecile who's in charge of gameplay, and give the job to someone who actually plays videogames instead of an obviously idiotic nerd that believes that gameplay and fun lies in a mathematical equation.
4) BAD, STUPID MAP NAVIGATION: sharp, steep edges everywhere, unreachable spots for camping everywhere (people simply drop on them). Limited stamina with ridiculous, year 2000 base values. Huge distances on foot that see you wandering like a ******, and that invite to the most miserable and disgusting of the camping behaviors. Those same distances are on the other hand covered in a blink in any vehicle.
These things will obviously not change. Save yourself the waste of time on such a ****** game. If you just can't help it, wait the brain dead ******** mandatory 5 minutes until any game start, and see it for yourself.
CCP: you fail. You should have pretended that your 'designers' played -any- other good online fps game instead of delivering this 'original' trainwreck.
Especially since it's obvious that you derived the gameplay from your miserable and pathetic PVP model in eve online, PVP which is **** all by itself.
