crouch dude

triangle button= crouch= smooth and steady sniper rifle

They need to make a sticky of this information at this point

I believe that the weapons have a designated range. Like shotguns, they have limited effective range. I know with the Merc AR doesnt have very good range. It cant compete with a sniper like in other games like Modern Warfare where you can use the FAL as a pseudo-sniper rifle. I may have the reticle right on the center mass and be shooting burst, but i am not hitting because im out of range.

I dont know much about the Sniper Rifles of Dust 514 and how good the range is. Just try to work with different ranges from the enemy and guess-timate the appropriate range of the rifle you are using. Im not sure if im correct but just an idea.

I think they should really reduce the recoil on the snipers.

I'm good at sniping...

I don't like how the assault rifles all have that scope view. I would rather some of the assault riffle just have Iron-sights w/out the scope... Sorta like the pistol. The constant sniper scope with all guns is pretty tedious.

I have a hard time aiming as well..I do good at all other shooters, something is up with the sensitivity or aiming mechanics gotta be

Aiming is a bit strange, but i guess it's one of those things you get used to.

I do think, however, that the scope sway on the Sniper Rifles is too high, the AR uses can see you at the same range without the huge sway and 9/10 times if they get the first shot off you're dead due to the strange super accurate ARs.

I think taking the scope off the AR would balance it out pretty well though.

Aiming is defo not right.

I find that I'm constantly over compensating.

Example - I have someone in my sights. Pop a few bullets off. They quite rightly, move. I move joystick to direction they're running. Im not catching hm up in my crosshairs. I push a tad harder on joystick. Woomph, I've now shot my crosshairs right past the dude.

It's almost like there's no middle ground on the joystick. I can either move really slowly or really fast.

Best game I ever played that had awesome aiming mechanics was BattleField 2. It just simply worked, and I wished Dust would too.

i have the same problem, i don't want to turn down the sensitivity because then it will cause my turning to slow down.

mouse controls are really the only way to go, just make sure you have the controller nearby if you hop into a turret because mouse controls are god awful.

If I have to start using a mouse to aim on a PS3 to play a FPS, I really will be thinking that something isn't right.
The whole reason I bought a Console was because it neatly fits under my TV. If ever I want to play, I grab the controller, plump my ass on the sofa, and off I go. If I have to add a mouse and flat surface to my playing environment, I'd rather not play.

I love the concept of this game, but CCP seen to be forgetting the fundamentals of console gaming.
Or perhaps they are exactly where they want to be and I'm not the kind of customer they're targeting.

Dust has input lag very much alike to that experienced in BF3. This is probably why the aiming feels nasty to you. If you are using KBM it isn't quite as bad, but certainly still there.

Wait til you hit a guy, see his shield flicker signaling you damn hit him, and he takes no damage. That's when it will really **** you off. Especially when you hit him 3 shots in a row, and his shield flickers 3x in a row.

Also, I like how people shoot through the ground, it's amazing to me. I want some of the "magic bullets" but I can't seem to find them anywhere on the market. Can someone tell me where they are?
