Now ive been playing thise Beta since E3 build so im giving my reveiw on Codex
i will try to the best of my ability to be both fair and honest.
MQ graphics and UI
Dust514 has come a loong way from E3 build and i am really proud to be a tester. Now Codex released oct 1 and i was happy to pick up my controller and play.Immediatly after launching the update the intro video is great. Definatly captures the feel of dust514.
Now onto the game. The graphics are fresh and crisp and i seem to notice every build the up the graphics a level Being next build the last and final build i suspect the graphics will be at its max come next build. The tutorial is great for newcomers. The MQ looks great crisp and filled with the noises of computers and other devices. i do hope there will be more interactivity with the MQ right now it feels more like a lobby. the UI feels a bit smoother this build then previous builds alot less lag swtiching windows and such.
Game Functionality
Instant battle has been improved somewhat now giving us options instead of randomly picking out one of the two games modes we get to choose which one we want to play. Now Its not perfect. Sometimes Errors will occur such as the invalid error when trying to quaue for a match. And other beta testers have reported of a restock glitch where restocking an item thru restock coss triple the amout its should i have yet to confirm this so i am not to sure. Restocking is a chore at times. i have backlogged items i want to clear out. the previous restocking method only replished items i was out of it helped organize fits and other things. Squad system is a big thing. Its improved from last build but it still isnt without its issues. Sometimes not everyone in the squad gets into the game for whatever reason. Also after i couple of matches you would have to restart the game because other mebers cant join in either. Again i belive this can be fixed so im not to worried.
Gameplay
Now this is Critical Gameplay has improved Significatly over last build. Lag is nearly non Existant. Again Graphics look great the sound Effects also Drastically improve the gameplay. the whiz of the missle going through your head the muffled explosions All provide a good experince. Now Game timeouts. Its annoying and fusterationg to some and i am no exception its annoying when your doing an excellent game and get booted for whatever reason it may be. I cannot concur if it is lag,server error,player imbalance or some other issue. Because it does not provide a reason why. Another report from other tester say once you get booted you ont get isk and sp but only your items replenshed again i cannot confirm or deny this. Another issue is what i like to call the "Bumper Car" Effect. this being when you collide with your teamates you bounce off or just swivvle like bumper cars. it can prove disastrous if your trying to get a kill or even trying to Evade an OB This is important to fix and emains to be quite an Irritance. Now SP cut. I for one and not a fan of the skill point cut simply due to the fact that its quite easy to get to level 5 anything at the moment. Right now i have lvl 5 electronics and Assault rifel Without hardly playing. I dont know about you but i want to earn the skills i learn right now it feels like its practically being handed to me of course we are still in beata so they might riaise it they might not. Strafing is what i hear Talked about alot and to be honest i havent had an issue with it because i realy dont use strafe. I cant really say much about it because i dont really care for it. Now hopefully they include more race items and models next build or release.

Let's hope things do go well in the next build. I get the feeling the next build will hit the spot just right for players. |

Well not all of them there are the few that like to whine and troll the forums here. its sad because testing needs to be done and people are to busy complaining.
Wonder if there going to have DUST clinic? would be kind of cool. |

like your review would agree with most of it, the only thing i sort of disagree with is the lag issue, as sometimes i am 100% fine then other game it will be small spike here and there and then other times its dramatic lag spikes where it feel like im walk from picture to picture, im sure this will all be fixed so im not stressed about it, just my point of view :)
as for the SP i like having some SP to start off with it allowed me to get some skills up that i wanted to get up straight way opposed to grinding from the get go:)
+1 for you mate |

Thanks Cheers!
I understand your view not everybody likes grinding i play EVE and skills are on a Timed based Que system.
I think what fustrates me the most is the timeout/boot issue thats been going on. but its only the first week so im not to worried it will be fixed soon im sure.
Had to edit that i did find some lag tonight. |

I hate to be that guy, but dude, wall of text! Use your Enter key, it's a lot easier on the eyes. Other than that, I agree with what I skimmed. |
