no, people want a game EXACTLY like this, but the beta doesn't hold up to the hype CCP made it out to be.

One of the things that made me say "I WANT" is the commander role, playing RTS in an FPS tickled the hell out of me. I was going to specialize that role and be commander like no other, but nope, not even any word about the class.

Maps are too big, 16 vs 16 for this games idea is too small, vehicles either are useless or dominate an unprepared team, and CCP doesn't seem to want to relax our anxiety over this game at all. There's several threads stating how distraught people are by CCP and how they're handling the builds and whipes and yet no reply to even say, "It's okay peeps, this is only half our features compared to the real game."

Oh, but they're more then willing to comment if we bump a recruitment thread. o.0

"NOBODY wants a game that simply makes you better just because you play it more"

you're high.

that's exactly what happens: you play more, you get better. the game rewards you with unlocking better gear, you play more, you get better.

what you want is "montessori video gaming" = everyone comes in first because the devs do a bunch of handholding to protect you from the facts that you are finding out right now. you weren't as good as you thought you were and now this game proves it to you because better players own you and you blame the game.

typical.

What? Sorry but I disagree, no one wants another Call of Duty where the only thing you can do to advance is get more (pointless) OP weapons. If I put down 100 hours on this game and the person I'm facing just started, I better own his face, especially considering it costs ISK that gets taken from me on death to be better then him.

And to push my point further, militia gear kills well enough of the majority of players. So what if you have to run from a heavy, you'd have to run from a tank too, no difference, both put up ISK to be where they're at. You're given enough starting SP to not be completely useless if you spec right. And if you find you did mess up, start over.

A proper reward system is exactly what FPS is missing, but it's also missing RPG elements imo. Killzone 3 was nice, just wasn't much fun once you realized you should grab an LMG and crouch everytime you see an enemy for perfect aim.

Ever try playing SOCOM, or Warhawk then? Those would easily fit your needs. Leveling systems though are not a "curtch", but is a helpful incentive to continue playing as it makes you feel rewarded.

That's the problem it's completely devoid of skill. It's whoever has the better gear wins not who is the better player.

Yeah this game isn't you play more you get better. It's you play more get better gear which makes you better.

Except for the fact that with Dust going to have something around 3000 maps,how can you ever get use to them? You can't.

Unlike every other shooter where you play the same maps over and over and over again until you learn every single nook and cranny,you will actually be in a lot of territories for the first time all the time,putting more emphasis on team play,and not making this just another run and gun shooter,that tries to pass itself off as a squad based shooter.
