What was the standard for amount of health before Rainbow 6? What was the accepted norm for jumping before Halo? What did you think of games before COD? How fast was a "good speed" before Unreal Tournament?
All four of these games.... if you played the betas of them, and compared them to the other 3.... what would your opinions be of them?
Dust is going to add a new question to this equation. Dust is a new game: Learn it, love it, and get good at it. While your focusing on strafe speed, or how a tank can POSSIBLY be better than a single guy, your not looking at the big picture:
That Dust is going to make you change the way you think about a shooter. That its not all about you in the moment, its about the WHOLE BATTLEFIELD. The aim down sights? Really?
Your defending an installation that YOU created with your OWN money and sweat....with 10 other guy's while around you, in UNIQUE roles that play completely different, while a guy flying a MCC gigantic command center shooting rockets all over the place at another flying behemoth, is calling out orders and managing where to send reinforcements, because there is 5-8 other objectives and installations that are important...on a district on a planet in a solar system in a universe that is player driven economy, tanks are being called in, strikes flying over head.... meanwhile your squad leader stopped mid battle and is leaving you hanging, because he got an offer from the other team for twice as much money, and now you gotta tell your commander that your in charge now. He gets on comms and explains what's going on and then everyone on your team stops caring about how they are losing money calling in their expensive ****, its now all about the revenge. You get sniped and your AR can't reach and then you die, so you remember next time that maybe your 10 man group should include at least 1 counter sniper.
This is not about how you feel princesses. This is about the War. And the Money. Do your job. Everything will fall into place and mean more when the game is as it should.
And you even had the option of paying ZERO DOLLARS for the privilege of this magnificent experience. People will come and go with this game, but just like EVE, the playerbase will always be there, and as the game evolves, people will still come back again and again as the stories of victory and defeat flood the top 10 gaming moments in history. |

My main point, is that every game brings to it a different reason to play.
If your selling point for most people is the run and gun experiance, you now have a shelf life for your game. If your selling point is dynamic, team based battlefields, that balance out ROLES and risk vs reward of heavier equipment....
Then your game will last forever, because when the graphics get dated, and the single player experiance is superior in other games.... you'll keep coming back to this as the benchmark for what a REAL battle is and means. |

I'm not defending MY installation with MY money if the game isn't enjoyable & unique to play. Last build it was even with the technical issues. This build? Meh. Bf2 BC clone.
I see what you're saying, but no. Standard hp in ANYGAME is 100. Doom. Good speed before UT was Doom. Which could be crazy fast. Accepted norm for jumping was strafe jumping. See quake/UT. Did they make games before cod? :P joking
Sure, theres a whole battlefield. Heck there's a full galaxy out there. But if I don't like the speed:Heath:damage ratio, I probably won't be that fussed.
Like I say, last build was wonderful. Just explaining why us precious princesses are all of a fap about gunplay. |

HiveMind Groks DUST well.
And the picture he paints is really only some of the complexities that could be involved in a single battle essentially unconnected to larger-scale interstellar geopolitics.
AR Princesses who can't evolve had best stay focused on polishing their ARs, because if they actually step into the real arena of war their grunt brains may not be able to tank the dps. And all of New Eden would hear about it, because we're a single shard universe. Is your epeen ready for that, princesses? |

This game is all about me, because if I'm having fun I will try my best for my team to win, if not I simply wont play.
So it is about the way I feel, last build was pretty much what I expected dust to be like with each suit having pros and cons and was fun and challenging to play, this build seem like a second rate Bf 3 conquest game only terribly slow and boring.
Eve universe is not enough to make me loyal to this game only fun and enjoyment will do that, and with gameplay that feels as if it's in slow motion I choose not to play (test) and if you get more players that feel this way the game world will soon be empty after the first few months of eager players soon get bored |

My main point, is that every game brings to it a different reason to play.
Dust needs to make sure that the battlefields, and its "ROLE BASED" team work, is there, 100%. Because THAT is what is going to make it last more than 5 years.
If you make the "individual shooter" experiance paramount and the be all end all... you will not be bale to balance everything else properly, and it will turn into MAG: Where tactics and organization don't really effect the game as much. And as soon as the enxt best thing comes.... your playerbase leaves.
Whereas a DECENT SHOOTER, that isn't horribly broken, but amazing dynamics that make even doing a mundane sentry role is fun, because you know how you fit into the battlefield's big picture, is what we are all here for.

I get the point, but I don't think that "role based team work" and "decently paced gunplay" are mutually exclusive. They could buff everything by a factor of 2 so that the overal balance is maintained but that the gameplay becomes twice as energetic. |

Like I say, last build was wonderful. Just explaining why us precious princesses are all of a fap about gunplay. The thing is, using a base 100 scale is not using HP, its using HP%. Dust is using actual HP (like an RPG).
Doom and Unreal were also small-scale, very fast-paced games that had roots in DM. Dust is not small-scale, and almost certainly won't have a competitive DM side at all. You also won't see some "traditional" gamemodes (CTF and DM esp.) in Dust at all.
Its going to be a game much more like MAG was; slower pace, bigger map-based battles, highly team-oriented. Its also going to have heavy roots in RPGs, where your class/skillset do have an impact in things (hopefully, though, not too much of an impact in actual gunfights)
I don't want this game to be like Doom/Quake/Unreal; it wouldn't make sense in the setting and would be counter to what is trying to be accomplished. And really, if I want to play a game like those I'd much rather have id/Epic doing the work... Yes, I am looking for a game that is much more like a MAG 2. MAG was amazing for what it did. If the lag didn't get the better of it, I'd still be playing. Right now, I'm in Starhawk, which does have similar pacing/style as Unreal (its overall very similar to Onslaught [esp. in terms of vehicles/scale], but also has TDM, DM, CTF, and 1FCTF), and I'm enjoying the game tremendously. |

This is not about how you feel princesses. This is about the War. And the Money. Do your job. Everything will fall into place and mean more when the game is as it should.
So much is quotable within this statement but I think these points really focus on what the generic FPS crowd is missing, and what those of us who have played team-based games (be they FPS or not) have already learned and are both learning more about as well as using to tactical TEAM advantage.
This is not pitcher vs batter baseball, this is not hot-shot basketball, this is not Dynasty Warriors with guns. This is soccer (futbol if you're from "across the pond" as they all say), this is rugby, this is actual team combat where you are not Jesus with an HMG, you are not Ocelot Revolver, you are not Rambo. You are a member and a PART of a TEAM. While there may be occasions for people to play their solo-game as were in MAG with lone-wolf operators and covert demo runners, this is primarily focused on making people work together (including the element of playing roles other than "pick up AR, shoot down sights").
If you can't even understand this then, and I mean this in the most gentle terms with no disrespect, this is probably not a game designed for you. |

Very well said. I think the point will get driven home to the doubters once Faction Warfare is deployed, and even more so next year when they start testing null-sec, since they mentioned before that they're considering a public test client, such as in EVE. |

This is beautifully worded. However it's got nothing to do with the issue at hand.
You wouldn't play a Grand Theft Auto with broken movement mechanics, you wouldn't play Need For Speed with broken steering, you wouldn't play Final Fantasy with broken gameplay (see FF14), and the same applies here. The game can be as deep and amazing as it wants, but if the core gameplay, which in this situation happens to be gunplay, isn't satisfactory people aren't going to want to play it. Most people hate having to adapt to something they find strange or difficult to use, so if CCP really want's this to be a successful game they need it to be as accessible as possible. |

The objective may be the same, but one has more an emphasis on the team, the other on the player.
You can do really well in TDM and still lose (and its not as uncommon as people think). While the same can be said in DM, chances of losing when doing really well are very slim, and make the best battles.
Many do see TDM as nothing more then a DM where you can't shoot half the people. While that can be the case with randoms, it isn't in an organized match. You need teamwork, or you will lose. |

This is all nice and true in a way. But doesnt change a bit the fact that compared to how dust felt for THREE BUILD before this one, the gunplay experience feels slow and akward. Mobitlity may not the prime factor to determine if a FPS is good or not but the previous faster movement didnt make it any worse nor changed a bit in anything you just said.
Like it or not, we're a lot to feel that this new mobility model isnt appealing at all and kinda destroyed the game. Personnaly, i dont take any pleasure in playing it even though i still manage to maintain my "level" in game. It's not about being a princess and wanting to have the perfect gameplay in order to have a high KDR. It is a about having fun as without this, any game, no matter how deep or new it appears, is no good. |

The gameplay really isn't that bad. Movements are a little slower than some but still not too bad.
My biggest thing were the space guns. But now, since this build, they make the guns seem like they are actually shooting bullets instead of futuristic lasers....I like it even more. |

So what's broken? Hit detection is dead on as far as I can tell. Character movement over the terrain feels good too. This is exactly what CCP said they were focusing on in these early builds and from where I'm sitting they delivered. |

My point exactly. And 95% of the whining, crying, ignorance and pathetic behavior that pollutes these forums can be ascribed to exactly that: personal taste - or lack thereof. |

Throw in 20 more players per battle and it wont seem slow. It wont seem slow when 32 players group up for a full frontal charge down the center, with 5 tanks, 3 dropships and LAV's full of troops in it.
Broken game mechanics is not the issue. Thats a fix issue. Aim down the sights not feeling right because its halo style, is purely stylistic. It only feels weird if you have EXPECTATIONS. (not including obvious flaws, like hit detection, terrain navigation)
The more you make the individual soldier powerful, the less everything else becomes unique, and all the RPG, leveling, skill ISK systems become silly and pointless. And buffing by a factor of 2 across the board doesn't work either, because then reaction time of the average player becomes much more important, other than fit selection/role choice.
if you've ever played mag, 32vs32 is often too little players on a map.... until you put two teams that know what they are doing, then its NON stop excitement.
If you participated in the MAG CLAN WARS, you'd know how real competition changes a mediocre game. |

/!\ veteran. Favorite game was 2kills 2 deaths 72 assists.
But I disagree still. Because MAG had the fast paced combat with the dipty-duck-drop-wiggle game play I loved. AND it was tactical. Medkits were OP. No argument. Every team, every player had a medkit. But this isn't MAG2. Nor should it be. I do think your main point though, that it's stylistic/preference based than technical problems. |
