DUST Search - Your thoughts of the game currently as a shooter?

It needs a lot of tweaking. Lets skip falling through the map, going up a hill and losing your shields and half your armor, etc.

I think this is a good idea, I like the whole clone thing. It's innovative. The dropsuits and weapons, are very unbalanced

Heavies for obvious reasons.

Shotguns, low ammo count, and high damage that won't kill in one shot, and the low ROF that won't let you follow up on that "high damage" they're only useful for going against newbs, where they wont pay attention. I honestly think it's faster to R3 the person than use a shotgun.

ARs. Everything an AR should be except it's too powerful at range. and it needs recoil, lots of it. if you're gonna give a gun a lot of power and no recoil, then there's something wrong.

sniper rifles are a sit back and relax weapon, they aren't as lethal as they should be, so you have to sit back until you read STD then you can get a kill because it takes 2shots to kill an STD with an Tactical.

Mass Drivers: Look like the noobtubes of the game, but the only weapon that will make a scout dropsuit useful.

Rocket launchers: Interesting how they can only lock on to vehicles, I like that idea because people wont spam it against infantry like in other games. However there should be a sidearm that comes with the rocket launcher that can compete with ARs (to a certain extent). Because anti tanks are useless.

This is all I can comment on about the "shooting" aspect.

Marketplace, skills, maps, will be on another thread

Johnny Guilt Algintal Core Gallente Federation 50	Posted - 2013.02.08 22:04:00 - [1] - Quote So IGÇÖve come back to this little beta that i deleted from my ps3(that i played for a SOILD 2 months every freaking day) some 5-6 months ago to see any significant changes, Iv come back mostly to the same beta. Feels akward to play, move, sprint,, shoot(does KBM feel better or worse?)and jump . The only good things i like that has changed from 6 months back is the nano injector icons, revives,repair tool beam steam and laser beam guns of death. i really hope this isnGÇÖt it cause with all the ps3 open betas IGÇÖve played, the open beta is a public demo by that time and what you play is what you get. Hope a new build comes SoonGäó -JG

Well, hate to break this out since it's over used, but beta means a lot more then demo. Ignore the cheap tricks of other companies using beta as free publicity. This is a TRUE beta. A very long... tedious beta lol

Rockets used to track people btw - it was considered OP and easily abused so it was removed. And you should of been around when AR has no recoil at all. Being a fatty with an AR back then was a bit OP :)

A very long... tedious beta lol what makes you so sure it's not for the public eye demo? why didnt they keep it private in the first place? Betas are always better to test when it's private(less player count,hopfully little lag etc.)
iceyburnz Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 283	Posted - 2013.02.08 22:26:00 - [8] - Quote I've enjoyed it so far. When I find it becomes tiring I stop playing, I go do something else and come back for the next build excited to see what's new. Nobody is forcing me to play. So when I'm bored I stop knowing it is a beta and come back to a beta (Im punny) game.

Betas are always better to test when it's private(less player count,hopfuly little lag etc.) Oh - don't get me wrong. Our being Open Beta now is probably a terrible move by CCP. They should of waited for the content to impress people with first before showing them how bad this game is currently at it's foundation. One more build - if they had just waited one more build...

Fornacis Fairchild Kat 5 Kaos 25	Posted - 2013.02.09 00:17:00 - [11] - Quote This Beta has probably made more money $$$ than any other Beta to date. :) I'm loving the game...the ability to customize is very refreshing. I haven' t played a shooter since CAL BF1942 league back in 2000 - 2001, so I'm enjoying this one. My skills are rusty but i'm improving each day...the only thing I can't improve on is the freaking morons i'm forced to play with, but I'm hoping to get a few old friends running with me. Props to CCP! You pulled off something that no other game has accomplished....I've played Eve-Online since Castor, and this one will go down in the books as well.

Get out of your Taco Bell box your Chihuahua is calling.
Rendiff Jurr Black Omega Industrial 21	Posted - 2013.02.09 00:28:00 - [13] - Quote I love the games concept, and it's game play ideas are solid. The game itself needs a good bit more tweaking before it can really be said to be finished. I'm surprised at how soon CCP went and opened it into a public beta. CCP has a bad habit of rushing things out, I just hope they don't do that again.
