I'm watching the dust final atm, and i'm seeing some people using a thrid person camera and some using first.

Are we going to have to option of which camera view we want to use in the final game? If so, awesome Big smile If not, why not? Sad

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Some of them suck really bad ;)

Maybe it's just basic lack of control from PS3 controller.

Yeah I saw at least 3 badly thrown grenades lol

But the whole turning and moving seems a lot less visceral than on PC with mouse.

I seem to remember them swapping views during the DUST514 keynote the other day, so possibly?

Also sucks for Team Insert Name Here. Only died 5 times in the third arena (out of 60 lives), but still lost overall.

I hope not because i would much rather play in third person, especially if we have the ability to customise our characters.

(Glad they transferred this to dust).

They mentioned in the Dust 514 Keynote that you can switch between both, so yeah it's a feature.

It just didn't sell to me. Looked a bit like and looks like it will play like Enemy Territory: Quake Wars but with lower res textures. Lack of destructible environment in a 2012 FPS title is questionable.

I thought DUST514 was going to support Keyboard/Mouse?

Awesome, thanks for confirming that dude

I have to say, i was very sceptical about dust at first especially following the announcement that it was going free to play. However, seeing it at fanfest i think CCP have won me over and i will probably but a ps3 this year.

With regards to the EVE and dust link, i would like to know where the dust fights will take place (high, low or null sec) as i'm not willing to be a sitting duck in low/null just so i can bombard a planet. Maybe corporations will be able to own planets in HS so we can fight over them and only have to worry about war targets jumping our orbital bombardment ships.

Yeah i think they said that but i hope they don't do it in the end as it will create an uneven playing field. Save that for when the game is release for PC.

As it stands with the build that you have seen in the DUST PVP Tournament, 3rd person view is available for players only while driving vehicles (and you can switch between 1st and 3rd person view anytime while driving/flying a vehicle). The times where you could see "over the shoulder" of a dropsuit in the finals, now that has been a spectator camera on a separate machine and one couldn't switch to this mode during combat.

Okay, so sounds exactly like many other shooters are doing it, e.g. Battlefield 3. Sounds fine for me. :)

That's disappointing, but thanks for letting me know.

Since they already sort of have 3rd person in sage with the spectator camera, it would be reasonably easy to implement. Whether they do it or not is a different story.

It's whatever you are used to really. I grew up on console games and only bought a PC to play EVE. When i try to play shooters on the PC, the mouse makes aiming much more precise but controlling movement with the keyboard is just r3tarded to me.
