I know this is just me, but I 've found there to be plenty of atmosphere in Dust. I would rather not have 'battle voices', if you want that, try doing it yourself in voice.

There are plenty of 'battle noises' each weapon makes it's own sound, as does each piece of active equipment. And even footfalls make a noise. I would quite happily lose the generic grunts as my character moves around, ecause it's hardly immersive for my female merc to sound like a guy when she moves.

And at 10 million SP, the skill system is still relevant to me.

Of course I'm also coming to Dust with 7 years off and on in EVE behind me and I understand that maybe a lot of others don't have that.

This isn't a themepark game like BF or CoD. It's part of a greater sandbox game. Personally, I think it would have helped them to delay launch for a year or two, get all the gear and vehicles in as well as a PvE system and have theplayer market ready from launch. However, we, and more importantly CCP, have to deal with the reality of the situation. The basic game is out, they're working on adding the rest of the core components and trying to keep the game balanced as best they can whilst doing it. Once all the basic gear is in, all the dropsuit types for each race for example, then they'll move onto the next part, imo either PvE or the Market. Once the game is up to it's full status and has been live on TQ alongside EVE for long enough to know it 's stable, that's when you should be evaluating it.
