I ask you CCP. Where is this game as stated in the following?
About DUST 514
DUST 514 is a persistent shooter from CCP Games, available exclusively for the Sony PlayStation 3. The first title to truly bridge the PC and console platforms, DUST 514 delivers an immersive experience of brutal ground combat and strategic planetary conquest set in the thriving universe of CCP's science-fiction MMO for PC and Mac, EVE Online. In DUST 514, mercenaries on the ground wage war to acquire territory, resources and notoriety, forging and breaking agreements with the starship pilots of EVE Online as they work together in real-time to control vast regions of deep space. Players in EVE Online and DUST 514 share a realistic, player-driven economy. Every action in DUST 514 has real consequences that ripple across a persistent universe spanning thousands of star systems. In DUST 514, unlike in any other game, your actions can topple empires.

Persistent? Immersive? Aquire Resources? Vast regions? Shared economy? Consequences that ripple? Topple empires?
Way to oversell it again CCP. Five years? Ten years? Soon?
I remember after hearing the first announcement for DUST how PI would be an aspect of the DUST connection. That planets would become the focus for EVE. That what I do on a planet in EVE would be threatened by DUST ground activity.
What should have been:
THE first thing that should have been established to set this game apart from all the CODs, BOPs, BFFS wtf evers is that my command center in PI should be able to be attacked, possibly via wardec, by DUST Mercs and that there be a reason for me to field a fleet in space as part of a counter strike.
Everything else should have been secondary to this aspect. All this arguing over gear balance shouldn't have been the important factor in this game.
Give us a gun, a suit and a map with said command center depicted and make the connection to an EVE player matter.
This game was and is billed as a support factor to EVE. It is not something that is supposed to exist in its own right. By it being what it is now it easily gets lost in the FPS shuffle. No intriguing reason to play other than merely to shoot at each other and wonder what's it all for. |
