I would like to make a point on the benefits of being able to have your game play flow. And by this I mean switching weapons, throwing grenades, strafing, going prone for that 'can't see me skyline' sniper moment. This game, I know is in the beta phase, but at the moment it is woefully below the FPS standards of games such as COD, BF3, and MOH. And this is a great shame!!!
I absolutely love elements of this game. The skill progression is genius, the load out options, vehicle fits, orbital bombardments, and the ability to connect with a massive player base that is EVE Online, to name but a few features that give this game credit. But I'm having difficulty dealing with, just the clunkiness of this games mechanics. When I'm sniping I expect to see the rise and fall of my breath in the sway of the scope, not to have the feeling that my clones just been down the pub an ordered a top shelf shot. I know this games about having the skill progression to reduce scope sway but it just doesn't feel realistic enough. I know, the games futuristic but the mechanics of a soldier doesn't change, technology does. The fact that for some reason my clone only seems to be able to throw a grenade one distance or the fact that simply the action of throwing a grenade seems to be a whole drama in itself in the time it takes me to take the damn thing out and launch it at the enemy. The grenade seems only able to follow one trajectory. The clipping issue, I'm popping round corners, I look clear of the building, launch my grenade, only to have it bounce off some invisible edge surrounding the building.
For me these issues need to be resolved. This game is amazing in so many aspects but let itself down on so many more. I hope for CCP's sale that on either the next build release or the whole release of this game, these issues are fixed or they may see a decline in players staying on and playing past the few first clunky matches. |

This pretty much sums up how I feel about Dust. MOH and COD are too arcady and twitchy for my liking, but I liked the movement mechanics in BFBC2 and BF3 but that's probably because the frostbite engine is pretty damn good. I don't expect this to change when we exit beta. |

I realise this is a dumbed down version. However only certain things are dumbed down. The game play mechanics being a main one that CAN'T be dumbed down because that's what we are testing.
I just hope that CCP are listening to some of the comments and suggestions on the forums. I think I'd feel better if there were more responses from the DEVS on the forums with responses to stuff like the clunky feel of things I mentioned in my original post. Your individual actions flowing is something a FPS must have. Another per hate are the way the weapons fire and sound, I feel like I'm shooting a pea gun most if the time, and they sound even worse. Not meaty enough for me I'm afraid. |

The best thing this game has got that no other has is throughout it's life it going to get better. What i mean lets say we buy COD one year, even though COD will be updated for a year and some DLC will come out, after that year you will have to buy the next COD to see improvements. Dust 514 on this matter you will see the game progress though out the years.
Oh, and the beta thing your going on about that not many people understand is...This is the first real beta to ever come out on a Sony console. what we normally get is a beta demo thats been released a month before the full game comes out.
Also because of this is free to play the more money we spend on the DUST 514 the more better it should get...hopefully. |
