Lol, why you think you can upgrade range on weapons when you max it out....

You guys must really like shooting at tiny pixels in the distance.

Either get a bigger TV or sit closer to it.

You are blind if you think a players at 50 meters are tiny pixels.

Well considering even the largest of COD maps are not as large as some outposts... I don't know what to say.

Firstly, yes, it is annoying to sight up and let off a few rounds with no hits. The Devs said they know the hard stop doesn't feel right, so they plan to have damage fall off gradually.

If this is the future of weaponry, then I'll be glad to have my primitive 240B laying waste to all the dropsuits up to 1000 meters away from me. And I think an M1A1 would destroy all these tanks in game now. Good luck with your rail gunlogi when an Abrams is circling you at 60 MPH with accurate fire from the main cannon.

I was just stating that range is not critical for the game to be fun. Trying to be realistic is also not something everyone should be doing either, there is a reason why most combat simulators are not all that popular. Although realism is great for inspiration it shouldn't be the sole reason to balance something because we all know, Real life is effing unfair.

Regardless they are working on something that was announced at fanfest to deal with the whole effective range and optimal range other than having bullets simply disappear.

The hard stop is very immersion breaking. It looks weird to see the bullet trails just stop a foot in front of your face.

However, it is kind of a useful tool in battle. When the finally implement proper falloff, your bullets will still connect beyond their max range, but will probably do next to no damage. I foresee this confusing people even more than the hard stop, as they won't be able to determine the max range as easily. (It will be good for stopping shields from recharging, though.)

As usual, CCP has their work cut out for them.

You're friken kidding me with this right. I can literally throw a baseball further than most of the small arms in dust can shoot.

The average adult can only throw a baseball 54 meters.

The average person cannot shoot another person let alone a moving target past 4 meters.

Why are we always talking about CoD?

In terms of map size vehicles and general FPS game play Dust is much closer to battle field 1942 then it is to a brand new CoD title.

And yes in all the BF titles your bullets go very far.

Well range adjustments are more of in question to what sort of environment the developers want. I mean if everyone had sniper rifles it could turn out to be a very boring game of dominos as one person giving his position away getting shot by someone else giving his position away.

That is all.

But don't expect this thread to stay around very long. It is sure to be quickly moved to "feedback/suggestions" like my last thread.

OP, are you bitching about the "stated" numbers of the on-screen gameplay?

Try a sniper rifle.

Gah, troll.

You sir are an extreme CCP fanboi, end of discussion.

Well all the rail tank needs to do is hit once, then the inside of the Abrams would be... Well quite messy. Plus the gunlogi has shields.
