If you try running sideways whilst shooting and being shot at I bet you wouldnGÇÖt get far

its how expert players on pc shooters play and bunny hopping or they just hack and if u played as many online games as i have u know what a cheater looks like

Yeah, and I sooooo don't want this to be another crap PC FPS clone. Used to play counter strike hard core. Bunny hooping, strafe masters act like that's what skill is. Skill would be adapting and dominating regardless of whether your preferred mechanic is in.

:(

I've yet to play this new build but all the feedback I'm reading is the that it's pretty much the same.

I can't believe CCP have just ignored everything that makes FPS's fun.

Such an inaccurate statement. If that is EVERYTHING that makes FPS's fun then wow, just wow. I'm clearly having the wrong kind of fun, then.

Wtf? No one on here just agrees with everything, if you believe that you're no better than the people you're trying to point out. There will be different opinions and personally, I like the new/updated mechanics. This feels like Section 8 done better, along with a huge RPG element. Smh.

There is absolutely nothing in Dust that is any deeper than any other FPS out there.

Villanor Aquarius Shattered Ascension 79	Posted - 2012.10.02 17:58:00 - [37] - Quote I hated the old strafe speed now things like using cover and using a teammate are viable. I enjoyed playing dust yesterday more than any other fps in a long time. It was the first time in a while that playing smart and with teammates seemed important.and the first time a firefight wasn't automatically decided by a fully perked l33t person just stroking their epeen. Needless to say a whole lot needs improving including basic gunplay things but with the careful small steps approach and ccp's regular update style it'll happen. The biggest thing dust and eve will ever have going for them is their meaningful long term progression and impact of your time in game. Feeling like you did something and it'll last or had meaningful impact is the bread and butter of ccp. Spaceship controls and fps gunplay really just decide how enjoyable actually doing that is. The biggest part of this game hasn't happened yet and that's persistency. Also strafe fest ruins game play and enjoyment. That isn't how things work or should work and that isn't as satisfying as paying smart, getting behind some cover and winning because your opponent made mistakes you didn't.

The game could have a million maps for all it's worth. They are currently all extremely poorly designed. In fact, they aren't even designed, they are seeded. Again, I want you to explain to me how Dust's core gameplay is deeper than any other FPS out there at the moment.
Blooticus Regime Of Shadow Marines 26	Posted - 2012.10.03 00:53:00 - [40] - Quote If your definition of core gameplay is just fps controls and dancing around then your probably playing the wrong game. This game has atleast two maybe three cores for gameplay. Your "gungame" which is pretty much a generic fps, theres "startegy" dancing not required, and then theres the big bad "htfu metagame". And they are all still in beta. I rember hearing early on about a five year plan. So patience may be tequired.

Couple that with the high strafe speed which creates difficult to master, unpredictable gunplay and your potential playerbase is pretty small, just EVE players and some hardcore shooter fans. Lower strafe speeds, more familiar-feeling mechanics will probably keep more players playing the game. Plus who knows if CCP will ever get the hit detection right, I would rather play it safe with easier to hit targets. Consistency is key in a competitive shooter, the last build was very inconsistent in its gameplay mechanics. Either the hit detection was on your side or you were dead, rockets would ramdomly fly at you from dropships camping on towers, etc Btw I haven't looked into patch notes and am going off of threads I'm seeing pop up of the new build. Tomorrow will be my first time playing this game in a month, the last build got boring real quickly. This post is exactly the type of thing I had in mind when I made this proposal. (8/10)

The entire game/gun mechanics health strafe speed ect needs to be redone. Sounds a little like "my view is the only view" and if you disagree you are a fan boy and ruining the game. Some people think the changes ARE good. I'm a moderate. It was buggy and silly before and now it's . . . meh. It's better, imo, than the previous ballerina, bad hit detection exploiting style that some people call "skill", but it still needs work. Fix the hit detection first and foremost, then make a good, balanced gun play game (because without good hit detection nothing else matters and the game is, I'm forced to agree, trash).

I thought you had replied to the bunny hopping, strafing side of things as being the EVERYTHING that makes FPS's fun. Shooting mechanics are important and the shooting game is paramount. Doesn't matter how good the rest of the game is if that fails. But bunny hopping and super strafe does not a good FPS make. Apologies for misunderstanding.

For all of the people out there claiming DUST is a currently a Battlefield clone or whatever, I wish that were the case, because I'd be having a lot more fun playing it.

STB-stlcarlos989 EV Circle of Huskarl Minmatar Republic 936	Posted - 2012.10.03 15:27:00 - [52] - Quote Terrible strafing speeds means gunfights ARE NOT determined by player skill. So now time played, seeing an enemy first, having more defense, more DPS, or more teammates around, is more important than player skill level. Before I could win 4v1s against bad players, now thats damn near impossible. Good job CCP.

But it's still frustrating to know I can do well on game x, y, and z, but not on game a, even though they all feel the same. So I recognize that some part of it is my skill level, but another part is probably issues with the shooting mechanics that still need to be addressed.

I don't understand the problem, unless perhaps you know something that CCP and Sony do not. Overbearing optimism in a beta that needs some serious criticism, has hindered the progress of this game tbh. I agree. What I'm wondering is wether the slow paced gameplay is faulty design or actually a conscious design decision.
