Weel, after 1 and a half year playing Dust, i'm not so mad about this. Let's face it ppl, Dust has no life in console. IF CCP was going to make a FPS like EVE, to live many years with content updates and this kind of stuff, a console is the last place to succeed in it. Consoles has a life cycle of 10 years (some are saying thta ps4/X1 will live only 5) and Dust was released when the ps3 was already dying, we knew that eventually a ps4 would be annouced. And consoles have hardware limitation, something that would prevent CCP from making additional content. Imho this is why Dust 514 is not half of what they promised, it's on ps3, a limited and difficult plataform to work on.

Not to mention that online FPS on console is hard to keep alive.

Some months ago i sold my ps3, it was a difficult decision because Dust was the only game i was playing seriously, but i saw that CCP needed to port the game to ps4 or PC if they wanted to keep Dust alive, because sooner or later, ps3 is going to die and ppl will move on to ps4.

Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

I'm no market analyst, but a subscription based MMOFPS on the PC seems doomed to failure to me, particularly one from CCP with all the good will and word of mouth they will be getting from Dust veterans like myself. I don't know how much of Sony's good will they have squandered or not though with Valkyrie being highlighted as one of the Morhpeus' launch titles. LOL though god help CCP if they **** that up to they'll never get a booster seat at the big boys table again. Most tankers are like sand people.

A port to PC/PS4 would have been great. This is not a port. This is "Hey you know all that awesome MMOFPS stuff you gave us your time and money for? Yeah sorry, you're not getting it, that's going into this other game. But all the time and money you put in, you still get to have that on the great game we gave you!" http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/news/a568488/dust-514-sees-no-planned-updates-scraps-survival-mode-and-vita-app.html#~oD85Vv2Dx3JYZv If you watched the "DUST 514 keynote" and read that article and you don't feel suckerpunched...well we just have to agree to disagree how CCP has treated the community Rouge wasted the first 5 minutes of his keynote praising.
