DUST 514: My first dayGÇÖs
ItGÇÖs been over a year and I still ended up in the same Merc quarters I resided in back then. But back on my day 1 the battles were something not of the Dust you play today. Once my 1st match started to load I was excited to play this game I had waited for over 2 years from reading about in an old GameInformer mag. I was excited because I was playing EVE since 07 then hearing a FPS would be connected to it.  So I set out to get a beta key and got lucky to get one where others were paying $50 on Ebay to get. I probably would have to because I knew this game was something that would be great no matter what.
We were AttackersGǪ spawning only on the ground with our MCC overhead and flying towards the same objective we were given... Take over a Communication station. But in order to do so we had two relay stations (or whatever, it been so long) standing in our way. We had two choicesGǪ Hack them until they blew up or strait blow them up ourselves by any means necessary (Yes I liked option number 2 better as well). That meant by dumb fire of swarms, shooting them with a tank or even flying over head with a Dropship and letting gunners fire away. Ahh the glory of battle.
I remember running assault that first match and following a group of three towards the first objective. The first of which I remember screaming after running around a corner GÇ£Oh Sh** a HeavyGÇ¥ and then only 2 out of 4 of us living after the encounter (I died) . We lost that match and I learned HeavyGÇÖs were something to be feared in this game (but then time past).
Around my 10th or so match I took on sniping. Back in 2012 they had a Skill that with every level you gained like 5% to the zoom of your rifle scope, so you could see further and it was awesome. But every good thing comes to an end and here after a few weeks we figured out the MCC could be locked on and blown up by defenders with just a group of swarms and a tank or two before ever getting past the 1st relay thus went our fun. All in all though that first map would go down as the best map Dust had ever known.
There was much more here and so I ask for those GÇ£back in the dayGÇ¥ please throw up how your first day was and lets reflect where we are now. Lets chat about what we had played over 1 year ago
Ill do the E3 2012 build on another post.

I miss those days. Hit detection was so bad that cqc was was like playing dnd, rolling d20s to hit. I was a shotgun scout at first, and it was hilarious running around exploding people from time to time, dying horribly others.
After a little bit i got into dropships which controlled wayyyy differently back then, and were actually reasonably safe because there was a lot of cover for them. Of course that turned into being the hammer of god with dropship smashing because the impact damage on the bottom was low.
Then of course the time of the swarm launcher came about and that's all anybody ever used, dumbfiring swarms at the ground to get kills because explosive hit detection was so much better than guns. That of course culminated in making swarms lock only AND having next to no splash damage.
All in all, good times, not as good as E3 build though ;). |
