First off this is more of a review rather than any sort of rant so please get comfortable and take the time to read this, new players and veterans alike.
A bit about me, ive always been abit of a keyboard and mouse kinda guy and never really got on with a control pad, but due to a back injury i opted to pick up a console shooter and play from the comfort of my arm chair and dust would be that very shooter.
First day as a merc i was getting murdered at every turn, i thought well that's to be expected 'im a noob at this game' in time i will develop the skills knowledge and experience to overcome this and begin delivering my own retribution upon others.
The second day playing im still getting my ass handed to me and being aware that this game supports the use of the keyboard and mouse (apart from being able to configure keys of course) so i gave it a try and as expected my k/d improved dramatically but i wasn't about to give up on the ole pad just yet so i searched the forums and 'you tube' respectively for any help or advice and all i saw was people complaining about rolling back some patch / update or something. I took comfort for a short period in the hope that it wasn't me and was a Developer short fall but that will remain to be seen.
Nearly there folks stay with me...
Third and forth day i was back to using the pad having tried just about every configuration of button layout and sensitivity setting available and was still not having much success i was beginning to consider my future playing this game, until i saw you tube vid of guy named 'jonnypew' who displayed an incredible level of accuracy and he was clearly using a pad so i thought if he can reach that level of proficiency then so can i .....
fifth and sixth day of perseverance of using the control pad im doing well and by 'well' i mean im killing more than im dieing and im now having allot of fun. Of course as i play im learning the maps optimizing my fits and applying skill points responsibly.
The long story short:
If you have just started playing this game and are frustrated at being constantly owned don't give up keep going no matter if you get killed 10 times without killing anything you will one day be the person standing toe to toe with the mercs who were once killing you or delivering your own magazine of welcome to new edan upon the the new comers.
Thanks for reading see you on the battle field 07 |

The time i spent in the academy allowed me the room to improve actually getting a mag off so to Speek and gave a small confidence boost if that matters at all so all in all i found it very helpful. Time to graduation yeah i would say it was about right for me. |

I could defiantly feel the difference in the callibar of player i suddenly found my self up against you could say i felt temporary at the bottom of the pecking order again but was only temporary :) |

Do you feel that should be a second tier of "Learning" after the Battle Academy, in which you are put against people with similar, or the same SP points as you are ?
Tbh I assumed we would be bracketed according to maybe the SP we had or the quality of kit we where currently using but that cleary wasnt the case, hence the emotion week ive had getting to grips with this shooter ;)
