I may get Titanfall for the PC on release, depending on the specs needed of course. Maybe I should start saving to upgrade/rebuild now...
Of course I'm not dissatisfied with Dust, sure it could be better, but it'll get there.

Of course I'm not dissatisfied with Dust, sure it could be better, but it'll get there. Oh, it will never get THERE. What you should be concerned about is the fact that Titanfall is expected to have sequels. It will expand and become a better franchise as time goes on. Dust will never achieve the level of FPS action seen in the very first Titanfall's beta, no matter how long it goes on. Think about that for a bit.
I think you're wrong personally, you just need to look at EVE and how much it's changed in 10 years to see the CCP design philosophy at work. And EVE players got all the expansions and everything for free. Yes, you could argue that by saying that EVE players pay a subscription fee per month, but if that's what it takes to make Dust great, I'll happily give CCP my hard earned money.
And if I'm wrong. It's (currently) a free game and even if it wasn't I'm still having fun from it, so nothing really lost there. I'll move onto something else if the game dies. Maybe Titanfall, maybe something not even started to be made yet.

The only reason it worked for EVE is that there are no other games available in the same genre/scale/vision. Waaaay too many FPS's out there that do a lot of things better than Dust. Until Dust offers something different that's polished, it will always play second fiddle to the latest game.
I'm all aboard this thing baby. I'll be back to dust one day, but after a year of 'hope the next patch makes the game not sh!t' you just get bored of it.
Except the point is Dust will still be here after the next latest game has turned out to be the previous version of the game just with a slightly new skin. And the next, and the next. And all the time it will be improving.
It didn't take 10 years for EVE to become a good game. It was good pretty early on, my point was it keeps getting better and as Dust follows the development philosophy that EVE does, I see that will likely be the same here.
DUST has the same advantage as you say EVE had, sure at it's most basic form it's another FPS, but it's not just that. Most FPS games will end up bringing out the same thing year after year, tweaking a little, maybe improving the graphics and claiming they're doing something revolutionary. Dust is doing something revolutionary. It's a persistent world MMOFPS/RPG with ties to a PC MMORPG. It's the first time that has been attempted as far as I know. It's going to take a little more time to do that than create a 'new' FPS game.
Yes, they rushed it out, it should have had at least another year imo in-house before release, maybe more. Yes, it does have problems. But also, yes, it does have the potential to be great.
