Hi Boooger

I think Uprising borked Dust, though I have hopes for the future.

Especially now that you're here.

I think that it has a lot of problems, but I'm hoping that the devs will fix them.
That broke MAG too, in the end, really.

There is no neon colors on the forums. Not sure how you'll fit in.

You will cry when you compare the game modes to MAG. The gameplay itself is serviceable but uninspired. At least you have a "real war" instead of a "shadow war".

I agree, the game is falling further into mediocrity. Uprising messed this game up. It's prettier but the gunplay leaves much to be desired and where are our 24v24 and 32v32 matches? They may never even happen.

You don't realize who I am do you?

IDK where Takashi is (figuring he is still BHD though)

I've been trying to school these nerds on integrity and not crying like a *****

There are two, and only two, gamemodes in DUST.

Ambush and OMS = Suppression with random spawns
Skirmish, Domination, FW, and Corp Battles = Interdiction with only 2 teams

Uprising broke some things. If you can bear it, dial down to 480p and it will smooth out the controls at least.

Btw, this is Fire_Storm from DBD, probably just a random to you but fyi.

If only Domination were as cool as it was in MAG.

It is more the lack of hot spots than the maps are big. Aside from the 1-5 objectives, there's essentially very little reason to be anywhere in particular. MAG had huge maps but they also had layered objectives so you were always moving somewhere with a purpose.

Not much.

FYI, Tactical ARs are broken worse than the pre1.03 Valor LMG, you'll drown yourself in reddot tears if you use it.

I honestly want to recommend you simply walk away, but on the other hand, there is no one else out there even trying to cater to what made MAG great. CCP may be stumbling, but they seem in it for the long haul. If you want a translator for MAG/DUST, I can log on and share the bits I know

I've been awaiting your activity on the DUST forums. You've missed out on some classic threads. It's great to see all the usual suspects are beginning to find their way onto the DUST forums.

My opinion on uprising is that it's trash. PC is underwhelming. FW is a joke. DUST hasn't been able to capture the same magic MAG had in terms of action or scale. CCP has pretty much half assed everything, and left us with a fairly mediocre game that is only a great waste of time until PS4 comes out.

BOOGER IS KING IS IT YOU ALMIGHTY ONE?

The very first build, they had a game mode that was truly something fun and had the potential of something unique, a pleasant merging of BF3 Rush and MAG Domination. The game has been dumbed down for reasons I cannot fathom.

Even better, both!

Yes. They listen to EVE players.

I say this with full sincerity, CCP seems intent on correcting their mistakes though. They literally had no on in charge of balance and now they just hired someone to do just that. I'm too far gone to pull out until it's a corpse, but while there is light on the horizon, it is a long way off.

More or less how the majority feel at the moment. http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust Gives you an idea of how "alive" this game is.

It's not great. And my Valor tribute suit has sleeves.
Honestly, the main thing that's keeping most players here is the potential. The game is itself is pretty bad. The promise of Dust releasing as a AAA shooter was just marketing bull. But we've been promised updates and hotfixes, so most just grind through it.

Kind funny coming from MAG. MAG had a great base game, but not any dev support. Dust has a terrible base game but it at least has Dev support.

I'm willing to enjoy it while it lasts. Might as well stick with the cool kids and all jump on to the next thing when it arrives together Destiny is looking pretty at least.

I have 10 mil SP and I love this game. It could be better (the effing framerate in PC!!!), but it's still fun.

I can't imagine what it's like for new players.

The OP is still in the battle academy. Wait til you get out (10k War points). You will see what it's like to be a minnow in a shark tank.

hi leval 70 veteren lvl 11
member of burezz elite of raven and former member of TR of valor and former owner of most knife kills in MAG
atm dust gaemodes are nowhere near as fun as MAG but this game has a 10yr plan and im sure one day it will blow us away

Heh, you were rather polarizing.
I imagine that .7 kdr won't remain that way for too long, though.

EDIT: Assuming you stick with it.

Even if you don't, leave the passive SP on. If you come back and the game's survived and actually become decent, then it'd be worth it.
