You want it - I found it.

Here is a screenshot which shows a typical AV Heavy fit - but what's this at the top? Is that a specialization subsystem?

Enjoy, boys - I'd imagine this thread isn't going to last long what with posting images =P

I KNEW the box at the top of the fitting screen was used for somethin!!
Nice find bro!

Hate to disappoint but that is a drop suit icon. Pretty sure it is not adding any functionality. Also you will notice that the icon is not inline like changeable mods. I think that if they were going to make this a swappable icon it would be inline for consistency.

As noted above, you probably can't swap it out. It'd make things awkward if you swapped for a suit with fewer slots, after all. More likely it's there so you can restock dropsuits from the fitting window. Currently you can only do that by restocking the whole fit, but if you have enough mods and just need dropsuits then right now you have to go to the market to buy them. Kinda a pain in the butt.

EDIT: Found a video that shows an all new and improved lighting/shaders system. That or they worked some space magic with their video editing. There's a clip of a dropship doing a vertical roll over what might be a new map as well toward the end.

Would be a little pointless to convey information that's blatantly obvious inside the fit itself - don't you think? This would be a lot easier than throwing in all of this (look down) under one category:

Assault Type I
Assault Type II
Assault A-Series
Assault B-Series
Assault Vk.0
Assault Vk.1
Assault Shock Type I
Assault Shock A-Series
Assault Shock Vk.0
Assault Spectre Type I
Assault Spectre A-Series
Assault Spectre Vk.0
'Firebrand' Assault Type I
'Firebrand' Assau ---------

You see where I'm going with this dude?

I think that may be a faster way to change what dropsuit you are using without creating a completely new fit. Or even better, a specilisation (spelt with an s silly people!) subsystem.

No offense, but I wonder myself what the heavy suit females will look like.

I just think people let their excitement take the driver's seat and reasd more into things than what is there. Never have been a fan of speculation since more often than not it leads to disappointment when the final product doesn't meet you dream. Just trying to be a realist and devil's advocate so you aren't disappointed when the build gets here.

Wait, they got a japanese version ready?

Hopefully I'll manage to buy the merc pack or something soon.

I still wish Dust played like that in reality.

Both this and the E3 version shown are obviously on a dedicated LAN. We've never been close to that little latency or have that good hit detection.

Well I certainly haven't. Hopefully the crappy servers we're using as battle servers during beta are getting ditched in favour of something actually up to the task come release.

I hope that video isn't the next build.

Guys, that pic of the heavy IS the female heavy drop suit. If you look at the merc quarters behind the fit screen you'll notice it's the female character.

Why's that?

[FEEDBACK] Why gunplay feels GÇ£offGÇ¥ (Sensitivity, ADS, POV, Grenade throwing)
- There is an improved FPS system which will address many of the issues that should be in the next update.

So you're 20 000 years in the future wearing state of the art dropsuits and you're moving at, what, 0.02 miles an hour, even as an assault. Speed it up already.

CCP promised this.

The ADS is identical so if it is the next build it was lie.

The grande throw animation is still poor.

Look at "throw grenade " in other FPS and you can see how poor Dust is.
Killzone 3 does it this way.

The animations for walking and running is poor and so the camera.

Take at look BF 3 or Crysis 3 or any FPS and you can see how fluid the animations are.
Cryssis 3 looks like this.
You can see how good that is compared to Dust.

Weapons still are held not correctly, too far from the body.

Anatomically speaking it doesn't look like that are press on our shoulder.
This is how weapons are held in Halo 4.
Do you see the difference?
This enhance the feeling of holding a weapon immensely and if you look at BF or KZ they do it perfectly as well.

Compare Dust with the other FPS and you can see why I say this.
No real changes if that is the next build.

Mediocrity is unjustifiable for me.
If you think size matters more than quality then you are lost.

KZ3 is more limited in map size but does everything better than Dust 514.
Quality will always win over quantity.

And just to drive my point home on just how impatient you are...

The people who play this game are some of the most infuriating, impatient, immature and entitled SOBs.

Agreed! Why do people compare dust to other games? because dust will be competing with the other "cookie cutter FPS" out there. If it cannot even compete with the generic stuff It will lose players.

Since someone pointed out that this is also an MMO the most important aspect is THE PLAYER BASE. If dust cannot maintain a critical mass of player then the whole thing will flop. Imagine EVE with 10% of the current player base. Who would you play with an for what?

Games like this are driven by the players. A small hardcore group alone cannot keep it alive. Dust NEEDS to attract players from other FPS games so it NEEDS to be just as polished.

Excellent point about restocking the suit from the fitting window, instead of going to the market or by restocking everything at once. I hedger my bet that's what it's for.

Could be that (most likely), or could be a quick way to switch from male to female suits? Although this is probably not the case, as gender is picked when creating the character so that would be unnecessary... for the most part (aside from the guys/gals wanting to 'switch' things up every so often).

It doesn't say "Closed Beta" on the top of the screen. I wonder why.

Hmm. Interesting, but I just tried to follow one of the OP's links, and I received a warning from CCP stating that the link might lead to a hacker site of some sort that involves keyloggers and other associated malware tools.

Looks just like my merc quarters with all the same stuff including a chair that I can't sit on.
