I haven't heard a whisper about the looting mechanic. Is there one?

I can only say that there will be a one.

Hmmm... well that does answer my question. It also suggests there is not a looting mechanic at present. Thanks for your reply!

You are a terrible person for teasing this.

Perhaps you can answer this one:

Call of Duty is lone-wolf style, but team play can help.
Battlefield relies on team aspects, but not everyone's on the same page.
MAG actually gives rewards for team-oriented actions, but it's not mandatory.

Where does Dust fall on this scale? Do people actually coordinate and work together?

Are your appetites wet yet? xD

Does it have auto-leveling for the Y Axis (look up and down), or to look UP and have to move the stick twice, once to look UP and then another to get back to central position.

Anyone?

Does it have an option to turn this on?

Kind of a game breaker for me, because I have no intention for moving around my entire furniture set.

Dust does not have auto levelling, nor does any other FPS i have ever played.

I dont understand the furniture reference - why would you need to move it?

I have no intention of byuing a PS3... but I still hope DUST succeeds... simply because it could be a good thing for the future of EVE (and gaming in general).

Problem is, I'm highly sceptical that a console game, especially one that is coming out right at the end of the current console generation, will be as successful and long running as EVE... concole gamers are a totally different bunch.

Considering I'm a console and PC gamer, I don't think we're all a "different bunch". A lot of us are Renaissance gamers. We go where the good stuff is.

I'm going back nearly 20 years here, but GoldenEye on the N64 had it, as did Turok.

It's not just a case of 'getting used to it' it's more about what the point of an look/aim stick actually is.

Just to be clear, one stick moves the character in forwards/backwards/L-R strafe and another stick aims & looks - correct? If so, I do not want to have to re-center the vertical position of the stick; I want to option of having it re-center automatically when I let go of the stick.

This, to me, is the half-way house between a M&KB approach to gaming on a console - hence I would need to move my furniture around, because between my plasma and the leather couch, there is nothing to rest a mouse and keyboard on...so I would need to move all my furniture around to accomodate the sitting position and resting position to fully accomodate the necessity of playing game which does not allow for vertical re-centering based on the position of stick, as opposed to the position the character was last pointed at.

I'll put it another way; if I keep pushing the stick 'up', there is a angular limit of 90 degrees is there not? and therefore if someone is 45 degrees off the vertical axis, I have to adjust to the stick to 'get it' at 45 degrees by pushing forwards and backwards until I get the 45 degree point; correct?

I want the option of 'holding' the stick in the correct position of 45 degrees, 'boom', get the shot, let go of the stick, and move onto the nest target - not fluff about with moving the stick up and down until it is back at a central position.

Probably a stoopid question to ask on these forums (sometimes) but...

I am making any sense to anyone?

This, to me, is (or should) be a very basic option for FPS on a stick controlled game - especially one based on open terrain, where foes could potentially be anywhere on the vertical axis, especially air vehicles that I may wish to take down flying overhead at speed...

Comments, anyone?

That was the one aspect of GoldenEye I didn't like.

I do play a few FPS games on the 360, so I would say the current set up is much better. I feel like you've contradiced yourself a little here. Surely in a game where sh*it comes at you from all angles you want the freedom to pan around where you want without it automatically returning to centre. It also adds an extra skill element to it.

Check those corners!
