I was chatting to some supporters of PS2 last night and they were saying that it's going to take a significant hit because everyone's taking a break until it comes out on PS4 next month... good job Dust doesn't have that problem! (lol)

meh boring game, couldn't care less if it was dieing or not.

It's coming over to the PS4 so maybe you should revise a similar chart once it does.

Yes just as SoonGäó as both Dust and PS2 are on PS4 then maybe we could compare player base #'s.
Oh wait.......................................................

Meh oh well.

PS2 on PC is dead long live PS2 on PS4.

But wait, hummmmmm.

If we are saying that PS2 is dyeing because it only has 3,363 Avg. Players and 6,495 Peak Players, then what is DUST?

Currently online:2,857

Max (24h): 3,685 (2013-10-22 23:45:00)

Current record:9,255 (2013-05-19 20:31:00) <---------------------(notice the # and date)

Yikes!

overall peak playerbase way higher though

Not suprised

Had a **** release since it was badly optimized and it still hasnt been sorted out mostly

PS4 may save it tbh but only if it cuts out all that ******* loading, loading screens everywhere

I highly doubt what killed my server is going to suddenly disappear with the segregated ps4 client (yes you heard that right no interplay with pc version)

Looks like Planetside 2 is dying.

That is exactly what the game needs. I personally think that the reason the game has more players is that more people have a Steam client than a PS3, but also believe that the reason the game is dying so fast is because of the rampant cheaters and the weak Teamkiller penalties. The game needs to be reworked severely on the moderator and cheat-prevention side of things before it'll ever get back to where it used to be. It's a fun game, don't get me wrong, but there's just no framework to prevent cheating. God-Mode-ers can clip into the main spawn area and not be removed for hours, and the high tech-specs needed to run the game keep people who are on the lower end from wanting to play it. It'ss just really, really, really bad thinking on a decent idea.

Hahahaha no, console gamers cannot handle strategic value of objectives on that scale, they can barely handle three. The game will be ruined within 2 months by the typical idiocy of the average console gamer just wanting to run and gun without a care for anything else, narrow minded thinking ruins games like.

MAG says otherwise

MAG was doing well before 1.03 then it went downhill after it and never recovered

Mag was simple as fk, mag didn't have about 50 objective points and may didn't have absolutely huge maps.

It really is... Apart from having some good elements (massive battles, open world etc) it fell short on purpose and actual reasoning.

Sure, I could go out with the guys and fight the good fight on the frontline for the next seven hours but for what? To move the frontline forward a bit so it can move right back when I go to sleep tonight? To get a few more BP so I can finally afford that gun/accessory that's not much different than any other one in the game?

I dunno. Game was cool but damn it I like having some goal in mind besides a never ending war that is held back solely by game mechanics.

The way you put it makes it sound like Dust 514, but open world.

Planetside 2 is Boring with a capital B so no surprise there. It was never going to destroy Dust. There IS one game that probably will steal a good amount of players though: Destiny. Beta comes out early 2014 if you got in on the pre-order.
