it was a waste of an update IMHO. ther isn't anything new here and personally i think i will wait until the next build or event to even bother playing. That hurts to even say i really love this game but the new build didn't add ANYTHING we wanted or i think anyway that the game needed to keep people playing until the next build which is probably several months for now. the playerbase was already dropping due to the lack of content needed and this new update hasn't done anything to make the players want to stay only giving them another reason leave.

sorry CCP i will be back for the event but thats it, what a let down......

It was mentioned in the last few days that this is more of a core code fix and gameplay patch with the next build having new content.

Started up PS3.

Opened DUST.

Got a "checking for updates" message, followed by a notification that "version 4.00" is available for download.

Pressed "ok"

System beeps 3 times and reboots.

Try again, same thing happens.

Nice update...

reboot your console manually once, the update started normaly after that for me

I'll get used to the ironsights, can't say I am a fan, but what I really hate is i have to turn my damage control unit on every 30 seconds now on my tank, add in my afterburner, rep and i'll probably look at an active hardener or active heatsink, so many damn modules to activate now while underfire.

This I like:

-Tiny bunkers on that skirmish map.
-Assault rifles are fun now because they're difficult to use. Players now have to burst, crouch, and actually have to clearly see what they're shooting (no dot turning red to confirm a hit).
-Mass Drivers were only used briefly, but I can tell they're much better.
-More installations to prevent redlining in skirmishes.
-Better overall performance
-Grenades are much more fluid, but there's no thukker grenades on the market at all.
-Logistic love. I was getting some good war points just healing a guy while he killed.
-Snipers still deadly, but trail is easier to detect and I think it lasts longer too.
-New map installations are more fun to play on. I like the acid pits underground too.
-Grass texture map

Cons
-Grass needs to be greener
-Assault rifles sight was blurry for me for some reason on the burst rifle.
-Railguns are a bit crazy. Need to wait and see how I feel about them.
-No UVT in corp.
-Scrambler pistol seems harder to use for some reason. I may have to turn sensitivity down since I don't like twitch aiming.
-My grenades keep hitting invisible walls and they do a strange animated bounce when they hit the ground.
-My Lav set of fire when I hit a ramp and I didn't even land. I had to bail mid-air.
-That new skirmish map is very difficult to traverse on foot. Maybe some more buildings are needed in the middle of all the objectives.
-The new skirmish map is the old one without some of the spikes. If the random generator makes it easier to create maps then I would expect them to be more unique.

I thought it was bland looking and played like rubbish, I couldn't stand it for more than five minutes, I switched it off...

Yeah, go tell yourself Planetside 2 doesn't suck. Have fun with that.

Only played a few games:

One spawn on the new 3 point map is way too far away from the objectives.

Vehicles are paper thin, which when combined with miltia forges, makes vehicles irrelevant. Espec with changes to resist mods.

Seems like it takes forever for an HMG to drop even militia suits, fat suits go down too easy to mass drivers.

And yet, you are still here. HMMMMMM.........
