DUST Search - Bad FPS Mechanics

Magtosh wrote:

Normally I wouldn't even bother posting on forums to describe the amount of annoyance I have with a game. Usually I just chalk it up to being a bad game and go back to playing Battlefield 3. However, I see a huge potential with this game, and I just wanted to throw my $.02 in.

I'm sure that there are multiple threads dedicated to this, but this is such a fundamental problem that I feel it is deserving of another one: the FPS mechanics of this game suck. Plain and simple.

How any developer can go about fine tuning a game that is so obviously broken is beyond me. I realize that thousands of dollars and hours have been poured into the project thus far, but in all honesty, if you get the whole "point and shoot" aspect wrong, it doesn't matter how many extra features you have. If your engine sucks, then so does the game.

I realize this game is still in closed beta, but if you can't see that the engine is broken, you're either blind or too much of a fanboi to even bother with trying to persuade.

PS that "Draft saved timestamp" popping up is really goddamn annoying. Even the forum mechanics suck lol

Even the forum mechanics suck lol You most likely don't no, so I'll tell you: The lag/framerate problem is because of a memory leak in the dust. They will fix it by the next "cleansweep". They also said that we are supposed to get a AR nerf, so that's good too.

This isn't constructive at all. Please say something besides "it sucks", or you aren't helping.

Basically I played MAG today. I sucked, because Dust is SLOW, UNRESPONSIVE, and CAMPERS PARADISE. There's 3 easy thing to identify. I was just shocke by how much faster and more responsive a 3 year old game was.

Considering how tactical eve is I'd like to see AR's being less accurate while moving or at least while strafing and reducing movement speed while scoped. The trade off for accuracy should be speed.
