I certainly do, I just was unaware that teleporting was an FPS skill. My bad.

The mark of a skilled player should be how well he assesses his surroundings, sticks to cover, and approaches with the support of his squad, not how well he can do the square dance across the street

Sorry, but I would rather play the game as a fast and frantic clusterfuck of genetically modified super soldiers than the lame gentlemen's war full of Buzz Killingtons who are pretending they are "uzing tactikz" to try and prove that they're somehow good.

The ego's of FPS players will literally never cease fo amaze

Why would you introduce a mechanic that encourages using the already strongest form of tanking, while punishing the weak form of tanking, and rewarding players who use low skill weapons like flaylocks?

If you want high speed high action, then the game has to be balanced around that. We've been balancing around a more gritty, hardcore style of play, and now we suddenly went back to this crap, and the game isn't balanced around it.

I kill noobs either way, with you few top % players still stomping me no matter what I do.

I'm more concerned with the direction we're suddenly going in again. Have you ever just sat and watched two people strafe fight? How can you look at that and think anything other than "lol"?

Teleporting? What game are you playing?

Those are some of the skills needed in a good player, maybe you need some work on the others.

Like aiming and movement.

Strafe speed should be faster but this is a good start. Game plays much better now, It rewards players that can move there body while keeping crosshairs on target. We just need aiming tuned up and the game might be fun again. BTW FU to the people that want it slowed down again.

I fail to see exactly why this is a problem. They fixed aiming, so you *SHOULD* be able to hit them, if you can't...Well...Get good.

So far, your arguments against strafe speed tend to be things that are the Developers responsibility; like how characters "teleport" while strafing=performance issue; like how high strafe speed makes shields more viable=balancing issue. All of these things can be fixed and tweaked by the developer. (Just please remember that it's CCP, so don't get your hopes up)

Watch someone strafe back and forth quickly.

It makes no sense, physically, and gives off the impression that they're teleporting left and and right. There is no shove off to gain momentum to strafe. You simply instantly accelerate to either side without any need to slow down and push off again. Your aim isn't effected in the least, as it would be by quickly shunting side to side.

It looks obnoxious.

Nevermind how foolish this makes CQC combat again.

If anything I'd like even more movement like parkour and jumpjets.

please tell me where ccp sells this game as a scifi war sim (ccp doesn't even know what dust is). maybe you should be honest in the fact you are just projecting what you want it to be as what it should be.

Hey here's a tactic for you nub. Have your Teammates Teamfire or is this concept lost on you?

ITT: People complaining about strafing secretly want Dust 514 to be turn-based.

I'd also like a definitive link to a CCP employee specifically stating that this is supposed to be a "strafing shooter" (aka DDR da FPS)

#dontaskaquestionyoudontwanttheanswerto

So instead of two idiots dancing back and forth shooting at each other, we can have whole squads doing it?

Seems legit.

People who enjoy strafing secretly want to use shields and splash weapons
