I second that.
Being new and using militia gear, I love it when I drop someone in there Adv/Proto gear.
Even with a low sp I can still drop targets with a good burst of rounds to the face.

I have to disagree.
If your that worried about a grenades being op, then take to the hills and snipe.
Even in the started sniper gear, you'll drop targets with a good head shot or two.
Don't fancy that then skill into the HAV's
Better yet an attack ship, swooping through the air raining down destruction and death from above.
You gotta play the music to go with it if you pick this method:- Ride Of The Valkyries |

All the people who just download the game to give it a try (having no idea what EvE/Dust is about) and then get pub stomped because vets will create an alt, buy some contact grenades, join the Instant Battle Academy and have a field day. And yes, better matchmaking would solve this problem. Yes, I will HTFU...but will they? There is already too much gear disparity between experienced players and the completely ignorant, born today merc clone. Do we really need more? It's very fitting that you chose the music played during the village massacre in Apocalypse Now :)
I have to agree with the disparity between players, as a Battlefield Vet of 9 years and other FPS games I found it impossible to hit a target at short/mid range initially, not a single round, while they fire a burst that wipes me out even factoring in the low sp, I did find very frustrating.
On the point of players not having any experience of Dust/Eve or FPS
Nobody starts any new game knowing anything about it unless they have had it introduced to them by someone else to show them.
They load it up and find out, maybe look on a forum or wiki/walkthrough.
Anyone playing Dust who has no experience of FPS on the other hand is not very likely to keep playing it by virtue of the fact that they haven't played any other FPS games in the first place, probably because they are not interested in the genre.
PS: I had a great time in the academy, thought I was gonna walk all over everyone on Dust.. then I had to mix it up with the big boy's |
