Not only is this "guide" relatively useless. The vast majority of your remarks are childish and inflammatory shots at COD players. I think it's pretty funny that you assume all COD players only play COD. Or have no skill.
Perhaps you just cannot hack it in COD and you need a game that has an abundance of health, shields, and gear to get you by.
As for the points about the "great community". Why don't you actually contribute to it by discussing modules for assault suits. Weapons, what is effective in smaller roles. How about some discussion on good sidearms. Where to spend those initial skill points. What skills will matter the most for an "assault suit" player. What racial bonuses are the most effective with certain load outs.
Instead it's don't drive LAV's. Stay in a group. "don't do anything stupid". And don't hack objectives for 5 minutes?
I'm sorry. But SP = WP and objectives getting hacked = WP. If this is a skirmish map I want everyone on every objective they can hold and constantly hacking and harassing the ones they can't - as it draws the enemy into disarray.
This is trolling garbage. All of it.
If you think anything you just typed was useful to anyone new to this game your mother must have promptly walked outside after your birth and chucked you against the pavement repeatedly. |

I'm waiting on a respec for this character. I have built 2 alts. One is an assault suit caldari and a heavy.
I am really trying to decide what to make this one as I cannot STAND the light suits / scouts that I spec'd into. Among other stupid "I have no idea what I'm doing" SP purchases.
I have since learned a lot about the game. Get invited into other corps chats to play all kinds of games and have found ways to be useful in different situations despite my bad use of SP on this character.
That said. I have been reading a lot of the class specific tutorials to learn more. If you have a year on Dust. And have something to specifically discuss like Assault suits.
I want to hear it.
Especially if it's an actual noobie guide to a starter assault suit and how to be viable as soon as you possibly can.
Maybe some suit topics. Granted these are usually covered in other guides. Maybe something in regards to; or very specific to - an assault suit. Tie in things pertinent to the medium suits. Modules that are important. Things you need right off the bat, and thing that can wait. The medium suits are very versatile and the assault tier 1 suit comes with a lot of CPU / PG space that allow you to double into logi type gameplay in the beginning while you are just getting started if you are getting your butt kicked.
Telling people not to be "stupid" is one thing. Telling people exactly how NOT to be stupid is another thing entirely. I would prefer someone with a year of experience to do the latter.
Some of us COD guys have played Killzone, and other objective type games and enjoy them too. But I can drop into a KZ match, pick a class and fully understand my "job" on the battlefield. How I rank up, and how I unlock class specific bonuses to make me more effective. It is VERY straight forward. Dust is NOT.
And while I have probably somewhere around a 100+ matches under my belt at this point if not more. I am still uncertain exactly the assault class is "doing" aside from shooting people. Snipers snipe, logi's heal and resup, heavies tank and otherwise poop on people.
As an assault class in an ASSAULT SUIT. Should I be spec'ing into a gun as far as I can and adding damage modifiers? Am I just a "shooter"? And there's nothing wrong with that. I have no problem running point and being "the shooter". I do it ALL the TIME in other games because I'm good at shooting people in their dumb little faces.
Should I be doubling into A/V duties?
This is the stuff as a veteran you need to put out there. So if you know it. Let's hear it. |

Dustwaffle saves thread.
You mentioned survivability being more important than perhaps being effective in a fire fight. Could one presume that initially armor and shield upgrades should take precedence over say spec'ing into real assault suits? Or really laying into a weapon tier?
I'm around 1.2M SP at this point and were it not for my idiotic purchasing into the light frame / scout class - which is both expensive and made of tissue paper. I think I would have spec'd hard into (armor) if I stayed gallente and guns. The hard part is that I like a lot of them. And there's still some I would like to try before my respec lands. I am trying to be frugal to get the most out of what I have. But I would happily have scrambler, assault rifle and shotgun classes ready to go at the push of a button. This is the infuriating part of dust to me. I haven't even tried the laser rifle yet or the mass driver. And I wanna.
I'd like to have SMG's cranked up too. Its a good side weapon for the AV class or a heavy suit. But I like the flaylock too. It has decent range and lets me harass people hiding around the edges of things. Its also inherently broken and my shots pass through people all the time. But when it works it works.
The fact I have to really choose a weapon sucks. |
