My eyes burn from reading that lol. Anyways, I'm pretty sure that Autocannons has a faster ROF than blasters. Otherwise, good ideas. +1


Peace, Aizen

Really like the ideas you presented. But a few things could be added but I didn't fully read the document yet.
Different optics like hybrid sights for Assault rifles, Thundergun and Sniper rifles.
No full-auto pistols for sidearms if the SMG is now a light weapon?

Me like.

But the Rail Rifle should just have a really low RoF. Like the breach AR RoF.

And the Gallante AI heavy weapon could be like a toned down small turret.

That's what they plan on doing actually. Long range breach PR.

As for your AV weapon ideas, I like them Way better than the current ones.

I planned on the Rail Rifle being semi-auto, and sort of similar to the DMR in halo 4. Not sure if I explained that clearly, will check it out and see. Thanks for bringing it up.

As for the Gallente Heavy Machine Gun, I figured it would be a plasma version of the current HMG, as that sticks with their high close range damage output, while still adding a bit of variety. Do you mean that you would like it to be like the current iteration of small vehicle turrets, or that small vehicle turrets should be like the way I described the gun?

Thanks for the response, and I will look into it.

Hmm, I was thinking that the racial ARs would preform like, and therefore have similar usages as the current AR

But if that is what your going for, that role fits the Caldari better the the Amarr.

I mean the visual of the Gallente AI heavy. Having two Gatling style weapons on the battlefield could confuse people about what their facing.

The heavy repeating blaster is a nice idea, while slightly overused in Sci Fi games and the like, it's the mechanics of controlling land that makes DUST unique, not the guns.

(after first 4 slides)

Bullet speeds: This would actually make sniping soooo much easier.
Dispersion/Recoil: A weapon that needs no skill doesn't deserve to be in an FPS! This would give weapons more of a skill factor.

Loving the read so far.

if its going to be all text, the slideshow might not be the best format.

Yep, so long as Alpha Strike gets a Buff.

If it takes 3-8 Bullets (Out of the AR category) to kill, which I think Duster factored in with the Overhaul, then that one or two shoots that land before getting off target need to count.

When I mean Alpha Damage, I mean the Damage one bullet does.

Currently, the weapon with the highest Alpha strike in game is the Forge/Plasma Launcher

Yeah, TTK is a Little bit high in DUST.

But if People die faster, then they are going to want Less expensive Suits, so their Repeated deaths won't break the Bank

Better put that in the Dropsuit Edition.

You going to be going be talking about balancing current drop suits or talking about new ones in the dropsuit edition?

Yeah, Tracking Shooters usually come down to how has

A. The Better Gun

B. The Longest Time on target.

And Since most shooters don't have "Levels" of Weapons, It makes those with Protosuits and Protoguns Practically Invicible in the Eyes of a STD User.

Lower TTK usually makes games based of who has more skill.

That's why 1337 CoD Shooter Montages are So popular in Youtube.

It is just much more based on skill then Halo.

But Halo is Super fun, all the same
