Yes, it is. The same can be said about any FPS. "Counter-Strike has all these clans. Some people don't have time for that kind of stuff. Is this a game for casual players?"
If you are a casual player and don't max out every week, it just means you can do less stuff than someone who caps out immediately, cycles omega boosters, and even gets over 100,000 extra SP a week from capping out and keep playing. Anyone can pick it up and play. The problem is for the first few weeks or months of play when you don't have all the things that go a long way to helping people. After about 6 million SP, people can pretty much max out a single role or at least get advanced and be more than capable of standing toe to toe.
Of course, as always, skill/tactics is generally better than raw SP.
Edit: There is a huge amount of depth and complexity that the casual player will never get into but that is the same for any MMO. If you are a casual League of Legends player, you will never get into the highest ranked leagues. If you just play WoW as a time killer, you will probably never be a great arena or raid participant. With DUST, if you just want to kill a few hours here and there, you will probably never see a real hardcore PC fight or be on the leader boards. But if you enjoy the game and don't want to be "teh sooper leetz doodz", it doesn't matter how casual you are.

I've always thought of Lobby FPSes as a casual experience. You get on play a few matches and get off. So if you think so then yes, then it will never not be a casual game.

New and casual players take on the role of live NPCs in this game. This is a MMORPG. You will either serve your purpose as fodder for a while and move on to another game, or make a name for yourself and move up. "Way of the Mercenary" was never meant for the "casual gamer", don't let the lobby shooter feel fool you.

I think yes? You download this game for the first time because it's free expecting a fun FPS. You get told to join a battle, so you do so and start with the academy. You're not used to the controls or even know what anything on the screen means, but you head to the objective anyways, slowly but surely by foot not knowing you could spawn in a car.
You call the objective or the enemy does and you hope to get it back, not knowing about CRUs so if you die, you have to walk all the way back. Depending on how you do, you may get stomped after 1 or two matches when you leave the academy.
You stop playing and may come bank after a couple of months to spend your SP and get stuff you don't even know how to use-...
You know what? Nevermind. It may not be for casuals. |

i am always near the top or at the top and its very rare for me not to make a proffit.
ok playing solo is not great for KDR whores but meh neither is a pure scout or pure logi.
tbh its all down to game style - mine suits solo play. |

it's why i occasionally fly/play in academy that and sometimes i talk to a new player. i'm a nerd and like a chance to tell someone about dust. but no the game is not for the casual player. either you like games this complex or you need to newtwork with vets. most people i know think dust isn't "fair" but they're kinda noobs who think the only good game is COD. if you have no networking skills and only play COD then yea dust is a turn off. COD is pandered and streamline to appeal to casuals. any game walmart endorses usually sux. then after you go to Mcdonalds to get a super large drink with a COD add on it during times of new release, they have to go that far out of there way to push a crappy game down everyones casual throat .

I came from BF3, so I was used to the long walks/long drives and the DUST experience in general. You get alot of that from Conquest.
Tanks in BF3 and Tanks in DUST share very similar principles, except BF3 tanks were easier to kill. And rocket launchers were easier to use...

This is a social game (hence the statement of an FPSMMO even if its not quite there yet). Not a solo casual game platform. It makes sense why not all but a lot of us start to really excel when placed in corps and squads of people we jive well with.

oh man i love BF. i came from BF3 also in 2012. actually bad company 2 was my favorite. i jump on BF4 now and then for some hardcore rush. i would take a BF player any day over a COD they're already used to and understand vehciles, not like a CODtard who goes emptying clip after MLT AR clip into a tank screaming "WTF! WTF!!" the entire time.. the casuals also will not work with vehicles. they want to run from point to point while crying about cloakers. if they would have boarded the dropship i landed right in front of them they would have had a safe ride especially now they nerfed the rails. so many things people cry about can be nullified by transport. i finally found a corp that doesn't frown on pilots and is willing to let me transport/extract them. usually i ask someone new what game their from when they say COD i dont really waste time teaching them because they have very low attention span, and after you spend an hour on them they say- "I'm going to play COD now"

I can agree with this. If a new player get over the initial slaughter-fest and learn the system it can be played very casually (I know I do). But it is not a game you simply download and expect to immediately dominate (well, if they DO, they will most likely uninstall very quickly)
CCP needs to drastically improve the NPE, but we all know this already... |

I think it depends on what is meant by casual. You could be a casual player who has been playing Dust for the last year. If so you have probably built up the SP and Knowledge to do quite well running solo in battle depending on your natural skills and internet speed.
However, if you are new and a casual player then no this game is harsh almost beyond belief for a lobby fps. You, as a new player, can play smart and get the drop on that vet but if they are in proto then they can tank your shots turn around and out DPS you if their skill level is not dissimilar to your own then they will likely win the 1 v 1. |

A lot of people are loving ALL CAPS lately.
While it would help rid a lot of stompers who rely on their gear, what about those people with genuine skill or at least maxed passives that just like to stomp. A squad of vets in ADV gear will still annihilate the players who are there because their gear forces them to be.
By SP wouldn't work either. Two players with 20mil SP. One is laser focused on a specific role, not deviating one iota from plan. The other likes to experiment and be a jack of all trades, SP spread thinly across a multitude of roles. Regardless of player skill, the former has a distinct advantage.
Yes matchmaking needs to be better. Doing it by gear or SP will present many of the same problems we have now, and the only way to counter will be when you unlock PRO tier. Of course by that point the ADV stompers will be the least of your worries, you're back on the bottom rung. |

I think the correct term would be if it is accessible to new players the fact is no it is not since player retention is low for new gamers . But is the game decent for casual play? Yes and so is virtually every lobby based FPS is. |

Didn't know I agreed with this statement until I read it.
You make a good point. CoD and similar games aren't my cup of tea, but put a controller in my hands and I'll happily waste an hour or two. An FPS is an FPS, regardless of quality or depth. |

Agreed. I think you have to have "balls of iron"tm, to stick with this game, if youre a casual gamer. You can play it casually, but you will certainly not play dust as obviously intended. It would be cool if via PvE, there would be a casual-friendly aspect introduced to dust. I wait for that. In the meantime just dont try to kill anything and you will be okay.
For us there are a few casual "gamemodes" available: 1. Hide, hack, run and hide again (run fast!) 2. Sniping (Rifle or Railgun, your choice) 3. Logi (the Orbitals will be reserved for you) |

Casual game? Hmm..not really. I don't think any game is a "casual game" if I was a developer or part of the concept team I would hate any of my work to be considered "casual" because of the effort and money and time I have invested in this "Game". Now, a gamer can be considered "casual" because of the level of competition in the gamer or the time he or she dedicates to a game. :)

Yes. Will that casual gamer have anywhere near the breadth of success or depth of experience as a more serious duster? No.

I agree that it depends on what you mean by casual. DUST sits at the intersection of a fairly deep RPG and a traditional multiplayer FPS. People that like RPGs but don't have a lot of time for gaming each week (adults, professionals, parents, students--who actually go to class, etc.) can actually do quite well in this game due to the passive SP system. You could put in a few hours/week and be very competitive SP wise (especially if you're running boosters). So from that perspective it is incredibly casual friendly (moreso than most time-suck MMOs).
If by casual, you mean players who are shallow and flaky, then no. DUST has considerable depth and requires a reasonable investment of mental effort to make smart decisions.
I do agree that the NPE is garbage though.
Best PvE idea ever!
