It's extremely unwise. Because DUST will never compete with Battlefield or Call of Duty as a "great shooter". It can be a "good shooter", but it'll probably never be "great". The part where it's going to grab players' attention and hold it, is the MMO aspects and the EVE link.
Every single person I've ever heard express any interest in this game and maybe trying it, was interested because of the universe it's in. But Hilmar has a very large ego, and thinks he is going to compete. Hopefully, DUST's new EP has a more realistic view and a better idea of what's really going to hold this game together, and that's a unique identity and playstyle you can't get from other FPS games.

Hilmar isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but thankfully, it's the executive producer who actually will make decisions for this game, and the new one sounds like he has the right idea.

Ironwolf, the game isn't going to still have customers by the time it becomes an awesome shooter, if it doesn't have features that actually make people interested in playing it. Unless you can promise an awesome shooter by next month.

"we will bring thousands of fps players to eve" I laughed when he said that. not likely. Dust is niche. but it still is a fps. You can have everything else but without it being a great FPS, the only ones left playing will be eve players. which is kinda what we seeing now with game not holding zero retention.
Most mainstream FPS players won't stick with a game more than a couple months anyways, so why would they stick with a game that requires a far longer commitment to reap significant reward? It's an MMOFPS, it needs to appeal to people who want more than just a random twitch shooter.
