I keep trying to pin down exactly what it is that makes the gameplay in Dust feel so extremely odd, I've never experienced anything quite like it in any fps... ever.

So far the best I can think of is "Drunk gameplay". There seems to be a bunch of little and big things causing it, biggest of which are loading lag and low frame rates.

Also, I get the feeling my character is 3 meters wide and 1,5 meters tall, if you look straight ahead when running it feels like he's just... blobbing about in a very liquidy and lazy manor. And I can't tell how far my face is from the ground when running up a hill, is it 30 cm, is it 2 meters?
Just kidding, you can't run up hills with all these invisible walls plotting against you xD

Aaaand then there's the aiming, which is, compared to all other fps games I've played on console (including really, really bad ones) absolutely horrible in almost every conceivable way so I'm not even going to bother making a list of reasons why.

FIX THIS before you even think about doing anything else (like adding an EXPANSION to a BETA?!?!? that adds more graphics without first fixing the frame rate, DAFUQ?!)

I'm not saying this to be a d-bag, I want this game to succeed, I love CCP and I love EvE but if you don't make the fps gameplay in your fps game work, you'll be overrun by all the other fps games and then some other f2p fps will take your place.
Even though the integration between Dust and EvE is beyond cool, it might not work out so well for either one if no one wants to actually play Dust.


I dont hate that...
Wait! I just had an excellent idea, scrap the first person perspective and make it 3rd person shooter with a fluid and quick cover system and more arcade and responsive controls to allow for more skill and less measuring of stick size.

Zero-G bunny hopper AWAY!
