I was reading this out loud to my brother and we were laughing. So much caps lock, so much exaggeration, so much rage.
I especially enjoyed the part about FPS on consoles not being a "legitimate" genre, whatever that means.
You ranting on doesn't help the game improve, you said nothing constructive that can actually help. I also enjoy the part about you playing for 3 months, never once coming to the forums to report bugs or provide feedback, and then finally coming here for whatever this is to call the devs incompetent. You show that you have no interest in actually helping the game improve.

Anyone who doesn't think exactly like me is a troll.

I am trying to save this game from ending up like MAG.

So you bash the game and give no constructive feedback to make it better = troll logic

This is unbelievable. Three times in a row, this forum has eaten my god damn posts.

This game deserves better than unreal 3. CCP made a horrible mistake when they picked this engine. That is all I have to say. This game was supposed to be the savior of the FPS genre. It ended up being another victim of UE3's garbage optimization on consoles. You can not even begin to understand the depths of my disappointment with CCP's decision making. You can not even begin to understand how amazing this game could have been if CCP took the time and money to make a decent engine for this ambitious game. If you disagree with me, that's fine. But you know nothing about games if you think this one is in any shape to be even worthy of such an absolute blind defense on your part. CCP BLEW IT. You have no idea how hard they blew it. They took what should have single handedly rejuvenated the competitive FPS scene, and turned it into a minute distraction the Call of Duty 'brogamers' will play while they wait for the next Call of Duty game. This game plays poorly. It's the engine's fault entirely. I am seriously beginning to doubt you've played this game at all. The state it's in is completely unacceptable. And it can't be fixed. Period.

This is seriously the most disappointing thing of all time.

Exactly why was this game suppose to rejuvenate the Fps genre? Taking a company which has never made an fps and putting them on that high of a pedestal is flawed logic. And exactly how do you know the Ue3 engine isn't just for the beta phase of the game? I'm almost completely sure you've never played this game as if you were qualified to give accurate feedback on this game, it would've been done months ago.

So...a show of hands from those who see the words BETA splashed across the top when you sign onto DUST. This one remembers seeing that. Its even a closed BETA even, with changes undoubtedly still in the pipeline. JSTR BETA means Not Complete, subject to lots of changes and adjustments based on PROPER feedback. Alas, it would be very trollish of me to say the OP is shedding carebear tears, but I don't want to troll and I am not even sure DUST has carebears to tear as yet (unless the hapless masses getting caught in spawn camps count?)

You can't just change the engine like that without completely rewriting the code, it would be the equivalent of starting the game completely from scratch. But yes, Vermaak has a point. As much as your points may be valid with the Unreal 3 Engine, dear Ziot, you are giving CCP way too many expectations and demands. Sure, they have created a succesfull PC MMO that keeps growing every year, but expecting them to create an FPS that would completely rewrite the genre is just ridicilous. This game was meant as a new way to link two completely different games together, not to completely blow everyone's mind with new gameplay mechanics that no one has ever seen before and be the benchmark to all FPS, especially from a developer that has never made an FPS before.

So for short, your expectations are way overblown, you give CCP unrealistic demands and just generally exaggarate things.

@zoit,

Would you prefer CCP use their in-house engine (carbon) instead which is relatively new, experimental, and requires massive resources? It's the same engine that powers Incarna avatars in Eve.

Anyways, I understand what you mean. But your hate toward the unreal engine is just based on personal preference. CCP had to choose the engine because of time constraints and because the engine is easier to work with for a company that never made a first person shooter in their entire career. Other engines would be nice no doubt, but how easy are they to work with compared to unreal?

IdTech3 would have been the optimal choice, in my opinion. If you want a smooth game, with a consistent feel to it. It's the same game engine used to make the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer engine, which has been used in everysingle Call of Duty game since 4. It can handle vehicles and everything, and while Call of Duty may use a lot of smoke and mirrors to give it that crisp look, it's an ideal multiplayer engine, and would have made a much prettier game than the muddy, ugly, barren thing we have right now.

The texture pop-in on this game is freakin' CRAZY. You simply turn around while exploring the map and the textures will load in front of your very eyes.

Dust 514 is an ugly game. That's saying A LOT considering UE3 is pretty much a Graphics Showcase engine, it's sole purpose besides housing game code is to put a bunch of pretty stuff on the screen. I can appreciate artistic design. But there is no way they intended for all of the terrain in this game to be a mostly featureless grey/brown/yellow expanse. I get it, we're on freshly colonized worlds, but even mars has some texture to it. Without the architecture to break up the drab earths with some metals, this game would be totally devoid of any kind of life. TRIBES had cooler looking maps than this.

That doesn't answer my question. Forget graphics and map layouts. I'm talking about ease of use here.

That still doesn't answer the ease of use question. Someone else please answer the question. Obviously i'm not getting any answers from this guy.

look pal i don't know what's your problem but on behalf of all players enjoying the game i say this:

We would prefer to judge the game in it's final form than it's Beta form.

in a game beta you suppose to provide feedback and give ideas to improve it.
but instead you would prefer to post your displeasure and rage on the forums like a bull with mad cow disease.

I hope you are happy because you just humiliate yourself in front of hundreds of people with logic.

That is exactly my point, bro. While CCP can, and most definitely should update the game systems, and the core game play with new features, weapons, maps, there is VERY, VERY, VERY, little they can do about the problems plaguing the GAME ENGINE. It's something SCORES of other developers have been unable to solve. and this failure to recognize the flaws of this engine are why a single little title dominates sales every god damn year, chief.

This IS the game's FINAL FORM. It won't get better looking, better playing, or better FEELING. The only thing they can do is change the fundemental gameplay, squash bugs as many bugs as they can, and do balance tweaks.

The core problems this game will face in the future have to do with inherent problems in the game engine itself. These are problems that have plagued the Engine since it first debuted in Gears of War back in 2006, and those EXACT same problems have found their way into this game as well. This really isn't a hard thing to understand. These underlying issues have already dealt a deathblow to this game's viability as a competitive shooter. It's inconsistent, there's massive stuttering, to the point where the game WILL FREEZE for a split second while in combat.

To quote my friend Kenshiro. This game is ALREADY DEAD.
