dust should go open world, just imagine hijacking a huge lorry load of goods or running minig ops on a planet

Again, the issue is practicality. If it were that easy, don't you think it would have been done already?

Dust needs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more work on the mechanics and balance before things like open worlds are discussed. Soon TM doesn't even apply here.

It's not possible to create what would be basically a 2nd game when Dust is in shambles. Dust does not need an open world. It needs balance and it needs the mechanics straightened out. If an open world was introduced and everyone ran off and started mining, that obviously states the main game is broken.

People want open worlds and all that dumb ****, I want an FPS that works properly, not a bunch of idiots in heavy suits and ARs because of CCPs lack of ability to balance a game that has been "out of beta" for nearly a year. For CCP to even think about maybe talking about open world stuff within the next year would be idiotic, and a loss of focus. Dust is currently not working as intended, and being able to freely roam around 1000s of worlds with the same 4 generic maps to mine rock in a first person shooter is ******* stupid. Oh but we could have trains! **** a train, I have a Destroyer in orbit, I would want to transport myself with that.
Of course, if it was exploration I wanted, i'd hop on Eve, or another game. Unfortunately, right now if it's a functioning, balanced shooter I want, I am forced to find another game as well.

I know all about "the visions". Look where we are now. After nearly a year, not only is the game un balanced, it has wildly swung in multiple directions of balance over the course of the year. Uplinks are able to be laid in the middle of solid structures, swarms don't render, lag is brutal in PC, grenades will disappear from your hand after you pull them out, ect ect ect.

Thats all basic stuff. I don't care how open the world is, if the core gameplay isn't right the game is not going to work. The only thing CoD like atm is the gunplay, due to TTK. What was suppose to set it apart from CoD was the idea of mods and building a dropsuit, plus the whole PC idea. An open world is not required to create a difference from CoD, and if people are concerned about booking virtual flights to explore generic terrain with nothing to do but mine rock and maybe shoot a A.I. drone here and there, I would say those people may have the wrong game.

In reality implimenting what has been requested in this post and in the linked post is a pipe dream. Some of the ideas sound nice, but none of it is realistic. Which is why a ton of stuff has currently not been implimented. Dreams and visions are nice, but reality checks rule all. We are suppose to have speeder bike things, heavy aircraft, fighter aircraft, APC's, mechs, defensive relays, more heavy weapons, more suits, the ability for a Corp to purchase MCCs and installations, ect ect. Some of this may come one day, but more than likely CCP bit off more than they could chew, and they are coming to that realization.

Think about what you are asking for. Thousands of planets, each with an individual identity, affected by 2 totally different kinds of games, one of which only averages between 400-700 players on at any one moment, and since what is being asked for doesn't currently exist in any way shape or form, Dust would have to be rebuilt from the ground up to make it a totally different kind of game. Add to that the fact that PS2s "open worldness" has been called a flop by many, and you have a strong argument to keep open world far far away from Dust.

Thats my opinion though, I want a competitive FPS with RPG elements, not an Adventure game.
