DUST Search - Playing the game today for the first time.

Well I was happy to enter the game after downloading it but wasn't too impressed playing.

Some of the key aesthetics that I noticed playing today include:

++++Color, where is it? Did they forget to insert some blue, green, orange, etc into the game? Currently it's full of black and grey including the mercs CQ which needs more lighting. From the eve universe the planets seem as if they would be lush in forests and trees with tons of green but the battlefield is currently a wasteland of blackness.

+ Aiming down the sites is very slow moving side to side, I even turned the sensitivity up but it didn't help.

+ Noticed shooting from the hip seems just as accurate aiming down the sites.

+ Audio in the intro vids seemed to have static and wasn't too clear. Wasn't sure if this was intended but AURA's voice seemed choppy.

+ Matches were extremely quick

+ Any other game modes besides the two currently available? 10v10 death match or something?

+Character customization and moving between the different slots was a little awkward

+reloading while running? Seemed if my character couldn't do that but I'll play some more and update the post as needed.

Lastly, Pack exclusive for ps3 of the Guristas saga - caldari lav, 2000 AUR, 7 day active skill booster, and additional gear and weapons I haven't received. Not sure if this will become available for release and not beta but thought it was worth mentioning that I haven't received it.

Apologies about the shortness as we've all been hearing these sorts of critiques since the beginning. Believe it or not, it's really more like an investment/project with a dedicated community, than simply a game so enjoy the ride. As for critiques, the best thing to do would be to make some notes of things and pepper it with understanding (in this case, that we are in development) and then follow those up with some well-thought out ideas. The worst thing you'll find on these forums is when folks detract, but offering nothing in terms of ideas or improvement. Best of all, find some things you like about the gameplay/themes and make those apparent too. This makes for something worthwhile to read and encourages everyone to hear you out rather than shutting you down because we're tired of hearing complaints. Best of luck and cheers!

I'm playing on a 50inch HD Sony TV so hopefully i'm not the only one not seeing much color. I'll certainly agree though that at the moment there is a very morbid tone to everything, but I think that's what they're trying to get at. While vegetation and color are very catchy, the appeal is rather to look dark and gritty. It would be nice though to get some more variation though, I agree. Eventually this will, inevitably with the different environments. (Ice, Barren, Lava, Gas, Storm, Plasma, Shattered, etc...am I missing one?) X)
