My main complaint about the game is that the weakest link of this MMOFPS is actually the FPS part. The guns, how the guns control, fire, the hit detection. It needs serious work.

I'm used to how BF3 handled it and for me, that's perfect. The FPS part of DUST is far from perfect.

Becuase of this I spend most of my time either playing medic, flying or gunning. I'm a big fan of the drop ships, and that's where I usually have a lot of fun. Until they fix the FPS aspect though, I won't be having that much fun on the ground.

Honestly, and this is NOT a troll.... There is so much wrong I can't be bothered posting in 30 or 40 different issue threads.
At the moment with all the bugs it's so frustrating to even try to play I can only do an hour or so at a time. Most fps players never really bother with forums unless it's to troll some other troll. I will wait to see if things change but sadly I fear not.

Dust has a few issues that i have noticed

Gunplay all weapons feel weightless they do not recoil much/at all, hit detection is still a major issue and only seems to work well at a medium range that not close enough for strafing to be effective and when you get too far hit detection goes out the window completely making maybe 1 out of 7 bullets hit which could be a accuracy thing but how to you tell if your not shooting accurately if the gun has no feel of recoil knocking the aim off target?, also id have to say that guns but ARs are not filling there role this could be due to one of 2 things first is the hard cap on the range of the weapon is far too short and there appears to be heavy damage fall off, the other cause would be the selection of ARs could be incomplete 2 types we are missing off the top of my head should have far more ability to put damage on target at range they are projectile and rail/guass ARs,

Movement feels too much like a camera floating around with a gun unfortunately 2 games that i can think of that i can think of that made the players feel like actual people and not just a gun strapped to a trolly as i heard someone say once was Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Killzone series iam sorry to say i dont know the technical terms for what it is those games did but they made the game feel much more solid, i think one thing that should be done to improve movement system would be to slow down straffing speed and backward movement so it is about 25 to 30% slower than foward movement this would also help hit detection in most straight up fights.

Game is biased to run and gun or playing for the kill, the war points for killing far exceeds that of any other role in the game if this does not change i have to ask what was the point of putting in logi and scout suits if the only reasonable way for them to be competitive on leader boards, in matches and in general is to go for the kills sure thats what assault class should do but scouts primary role should be recon and providing intelligence on enemy positions which they can do but are not rewarded for it because its done passively i would suggest making spotting enemies a manual thing with maybe a passive module for it also but for spotting the scouts should be given reward for doing so as they are playing a vital role on the battlefield, logis are also far under valued for there primary role of keeping people on the battlefield repping people provides very little point and provides points very inconsistently, the nano hive are give good xp but could be made better to make the logi want to put the thing down rather than as it is now i could or i could shoot that guy and make more isk,xp or what ever. I also think people should get passive xp for deffending objectives rather than running out for kills getting killed and ultimitly losing the objective mabye there should be a bonus to this for heavies because that is there role they are the walking turrets that are there to defend objectives.

Iam sorry if i was a bit vague with some of the feed back but this is one of the first betas ive been in and probably the first real one with exception of mabye the AC ones

Also i hate this idea of go back to (insert popular game here) crap why if i preffer the way battlefield does something would i go back to it if i think that this game has more potential than it if it does it right, like isnt that why most of us are here thats why iam here to try and help ccp make dust all it can be and all some people want to do is make a game for them that will just fill there little niche, why would DUST avoid doing something like COD or like battlefield if it would make it a better game in prossec and possibly make DUST better than battlefield at what it does best?

0/10 for generalization.

I am an "FPSer" (because i play fps games a lot?) and I am extremely capable of constructive feedback.

I HATE people like you, People who think that playing a certain type of game is representative of intelligence.
Ugh...

I've just told you. The only way I could add to that is to say the bullets or whatever is fired from my assault rifle seem to travel very slowly as I have to lead my targets by a stupidly large amount to hit them at 10 metres. That's another thing I would call an issue.

But in general the shooting mechanics are just poor and it's very hard to get that across in writing. All I can tell you is that the shooting mechanics in BF3 are leaps and bounds ahead because they are smoother. Of course, the hit detection, frame rate drops and rubber banding are also major issues.

Also, i've never tried it but i've seen an option for aim assist. They either need to scrap that completely or have separate aim assist and free aim servers like Max Payne 3 and Grand Theft Auto 4.

@iron this forum is full of reasons why this game fails at FPS. And as people say we all get told to go back to (insert game) when mentioning something.

personally the big things for me are (assault class):

weapons should not become more powerful with Sp. remove the Sp +3% to weapons adn in proficiencies. let everyone have the same weapon at their allowed level. ( the increase in SP gain increases damage is just one of many crutches for bad players).

cut people's drop suits by 15%. I am in type 2 assault as are others and we are now all starting to do that stupid dance in a circle change to weapon 2 to finish someone off.

I know this is an RPG but the infantry FPS has to work and the two above changes wont change skiling for different classes wont be affected. The game was fun when everyone was in militia gear. And we will all end up blob/ zerging as squads - whcih is just crap gameplay

2x SP gain for vehicles. Infantry lose out. is this vehicle warfare or an FPS?:
if SP for shields, electronics, mechanics, repair etc. can be used for tanks/ vehicles and dropsuits then assault needs to be given sp for AV. At the moment the vehicle class are getting a free ride with SP gain. They can use their SP for their toon and their vehicle. This lack of foresight from CCP says to me that they dont have a first hand feel for FPSs. Nor did they seem to understand the lack of AV counters for tanks

turn sensitivity is too slow. I cant make it higher because aim down the sights is so bad that if i slightly touch the stick I go miles off target. Controls are not smooth. Controls seem to be an after thought.

I wont go on. But minor changes like the above may bring back some element of fun into the game where skill can still beat SP. It is about balancing the games RPG SP > skill element better. (please dont mention null etc. I know about it)

overall: I like the potential and vision of the game. problem is it mainly is potential.

Seems i'm not the only one who feels the FPS part of this MMOFPS is the weakest link. Since they have some sort of partnership with Sony, they should really get some people from Guerrilla Games to sort the FPS part whilst CCP does the MMO.

Killzone has a solid weight to it and the movement, aiming, weapons and what have you feel good. I think this would benefit the game a lot, but it just depends how extensive their partnership is with Sony.

Uh this isnt just directed to you ...Im reading these post and I have to disagree with the whole....they gave it to PS + users and now there flooding our forums with complaints...................HELLO THIS GAME WAS CREATED BY CCP TO BRING "CONSOLE"PLAYERS INTO NEW EDEN....NOT PC FORUM JOCKIES.YOU HAVE A GAME ITS CALLED EVE.

I dont know whats more sad...them posting there frustration in a non constructive manner or you staying in the forums berating console fps players as if you were actually employed by CCP and not actually Beta (playing)testing the game at all...Your pretentious dribble while formulated grammatically correct is still line upon line of rambling nonsense fit only for digestion of other forum jokies in some snobbish bid for attention from people who you believe actually care about your opinion with your nose wedged so firmly up there anus that you cant even pervew what they are directing you to look at .Ie the "Game".
and on the troll side in common enough tongue that is direct and to the point....I have seen you play and you suck.

So please keep posting page upon page of garbage....spam is spam.

And therein lies another issue: "feel" of the guns is a really damn hard aspect to quantify. Add to that the fact that everyone has their own preference, and many people stick to a single shooter series due mainly to how the guns "feel", and you end up with the inevitable disappointment of someone.
