Hey, new here. A few hours into the game and I'm already enjoying it :) I still have a lot to learn about how to play since I haven't played anything similar to this game, but I'll manage. Anyway, to the point.
The main flaw I've I have as of now is how the game gets really choppy. At first I thought it was just my internet connection, but after reading a few posts it seems like I'm not the only one encountering the problem. It's most annoying when I am in a firefight with 4 players (including me) at max and the whole game would start to lag and get choppy. Or if I have to repeatedly press the revive button over a fallen teammate because apparently pressing it 3 times isn't enough 
I'm sure the choppiness isn't much news to most of you who've been playing much longer than me, but just thought I'd share my first impression of the game. |

I have this issue myself. Most of the time when I notice it its because objects and textures aren't loading very efficiently. The other day I literally watched as my lag was solved by a set of stairs changing from a flat ramp to a model that actually had stairs sculpted into it. |

Amen brother, it slows down and it doesn't seem like lag... just bad gameplay. |

The frame-rate is just very poor. It really hurts controller response and thus, the game feels slow, sludgy and unresponsive.
It doesn't bode well that a this point, they basics aren't in place.
I'd love to hear a developer comment on this because I'm sure they can see that Dust isn't up to scratch compared to other games in the same genre. What are they doing about it etc? |

Well, the dev will give you the "it isn't finished" response. And, well, it isn't finished. We're still in closed beta and the framerate is always one of the last things to be ironed out in the development phase. I only notice the framerate being sluggish and annoying in the Line Harvest. |

I'd normally agree with you but after so many build revisions without performance improvement I'm not feeling optimistic.
I hope you are right. I really do because in 5 days, this opens up. If it still runs this poorly, with constant texture streaming and sluggish controls then it goes to get an absolute panning.

It will happen. There is no reason to think otherwise other than a "think the worst" mentality. These are all issues that will be ironed out. |
