Of ever getting new maps in Dust? Please answer here.
This is an alt. It is here to be banned, so that I may be outrageous and speak the TRUTH.

I think this is EXTREMELY unlikely. I could see CCP doing a client patch for the missing racial vehicles, turrets and heavy weapons because there is a strong business case for these. We could help balance them for Legion ahead of time, resulting in a smoother launch and better reviews, which translates into serious profit.
Maps on the other hand don't have this advantage.
Best PvE idea ever!

they are basically looking to reuse existing material for weapons with new stats because stats are stored server side and no client update is required.
e.g. there could be a weapon that looks like a PLC with different color, requires a heavy weapon slot that functions like a gigantic ion pistol. |

Disclaimer: I know nothing of programming
I believe if the maps are already inside the game files in our consoles but inactivated, CCP could, potentially, activate them once more.
Equally most maps we play on are just fractions of even bigger maps (mega maps), so maybe it is possible for CCP to create smaller maps from the big maps and add more variety of the same mega maps.
They could also (maybe) create a new game mode, or a variation of a game mode which allows the exploitation of these bigger maps to allow better usage of vehicles etc.
But as for brand new maps... no.

It sounds accessible, but they probably do not have socket slots.

There is a substantial amount of work involved in getting a map optimized for the PS3. It is really hard to get the mesh count low enough. We are talking about months of work.
So, I agree with Vell0cet. I canGÇÖt see a business case for creating a new map for DUST.
If our numbers stay up and people buy a lot of AUR, then we might bet some weapons or equipment. Vehicles would be nice.
But maps, we wonGÇÖt see new maps until Legion, and I bet a lot of the maps in Legion will look vaguely familiar.

You could quasi create new maps by rotating the redline lol. Literally just spin it a bit and the map relative from our point of view would be different as other sockets would become the focal point.

At least with that suggestion we are talking about maps already optimized for PS3. If they have sockets, then it might be doable. (The newest maps might.) However, those are unexplored areas, which means that we have not been tramping around in those areas reporting terrain glitches for over a year as we have in the maps we have now.

client updates if ever will only happen once hot fixes are done.

Lol, if it were any other companyGǪ
CCP has shown time and again they don't know diddly squat about making a profit. That they created an RMT based game and then proceed to not really sell anything worth buying, removing the few items that were and even now only put one of them back in (after voting on it?) is proof enough. Not to mention EVE with wanting to keep their core whiny player base rather than add stuff to the game that would attract a bigger audience.

Last I checked new maps require client rebakes.
Though this does makes me curious as to how other shooters with DLCs do this.

It would be difficult with the resources they have since they would have to make new models, generate the terrain, give the models textures, balance it with the current mechanics, etc and would require a client up date . They might can just use old assets and move some stuff around , but still that would require a lot of work. I would how much people still works at CCP shanghai, there may not be a map designer working on Dust anymore. |
