According to the CPM, PVE co-op has been placed on the shelve for safe keeping until they "fix the core" of the multiplayer. Unfortunately they don't recognize that adding PVE co-op would be core in improving the "New Player Experience" and would result in more knowledgeable play in the multiplayer matches which is part of the core.
I like to help new players out, and many of them have played several matches and still had to ask what those bubble things are on the ground and other similar questions. |

People will play a flawed but interesting game. They will not play a flawless but boring game. Fixing the core is the wrong approach.
This is what I always tell people. You can work on fixing the core for a dozen years, but if you never get around to adding "awesome **** to do" then the game has no soul and people will abandon it. Currently I'm sticking with it for the promise of "awesome **** to do," but I know others don't have such patience.
Add PVE, add some real connection to EVE, add something meaningful for us to do. All we have right now is a matchmaking FPS with a few problems. Sure we can wait for those problems to be fixed, but there are already other matchmaking FPSs out there that fixed these problems a long time ago. I'd rather have a slightly flawed game with a soul and stick with it until the core is fixed, perhaps slower but consistently nonetheless.
Of course I tell this to people and they act like the core of Dust is so bad it is unplayable. |

Technically yes, but in this age "multiplayer" means competitive PVP. |
