War & Shoot 'Em Ups: General

[LAILIEL]

Ok guys/gals here's a thing that I would love to see in Dust 514: Realistic Magazine Management (RMM)  -More info about RMM: here.

I think it would be great to have RMM in Dust 514 for these reasons:

1. More realism: players looking for more realism in FPS will have a further reason to pick Dust 514.
2. A more compelling/tactical gamepaly which means more variety and so less stagnation over  the years.
3. With RMM teamwork & class variety will become even more essential/rewarding: for instance players with Nano Hives (ammo replenishers) will become more useful than ever.
4. Supply installations will be even more useful/meaningful: Real Time Strategy elements/gamepaly in Dust 514 will consequently become more rewarding/appealing.
5. RMM might lead to the creation of a new set of skills dedicated to reloading expanding so the skill tree a bit and giving us more options/variety.
6. RMM can be used as a parameter to further balance weapons: a useful extra tool for the developers.

I know that not everyone likes RMM, and that is really rare in shooters, but if it won't make it as a standard feature at least I would love to see it as an in-game option.

What do you think guys/gals?

Should CCP do it?

I can already tell you as far as we have seen from Fanfest footage, they are not using RMM thus far.

[LAILIEL]

But what is your opinion Grideris: would you like to have RMM in Dust 514?

I haven't seen enough gameplay to comment definitively about RMM, but to me, the use of the system depends on the feel of the game.

If there's an option for fast-paced combat, then RMM will usually have a negative impact on that kind of playstyle, so that needs to be considered. If the game is built around giving players a wide variety of options where high-speed attacks are important, I'd probably prefer they don't include RMM. If it's all about a more carefully considered strategic approach to combat, then adding RMM will be a minor benefit. I don't see the benefits as being enough to outweigh the negatives if fast-paced playstyles are being encouraged though, so from what I've heard, I'm leaning towards "no" more than "yes" - but I could still see it going either way and working well.
