I have my reservations about Dust as a PC port. Managing hacking in a competitive environment is my biggest concern. Some of the GPU memory hacks for overlaying and displaying information . I just think the resources required to prevent this on PC can be put to much better use when focused just on console development.

I just wanted to add is I think CCP biggest problem with Dust on PS4 is UE4 not supporting the PS3.. So they are kinda suck in a really ****** place with the engine cause they can't upgrade both at the same time.

I share this sentimemt with regards to PC gamer hacking and the win/loss risk/reward system in place in DUST. Truth is, if hackers hack a BF4 battle on PC, it sucks for the players, but outside of performance stats doesn't really matter. With the economic structure we have here, you grind to earn to play, losses under those circumstances would be catastrophic, especially for new players who'll be subjected to not just character XP and equipment gaps BUT to outside hacking as well. It would be just as devastating for vets also, PC would be a bottomless spiral of ddos attacks, lag spam, actual wallhacking, MAO and whatever the HOTM the script kids learned on you tube that week. The SONY network, while not flawless by any measure does at least provide a helpful level of stability and security against this sort of thing, which in turn creates a more reliable and secure gaming experience.

I'll restate it once more and then let the point rest for now.

If we continue to treat the prospect as an "either or" to things are likely to result
A) Divided community support reduces the likelihood of a port gaining the momentum it needs to actually happen.
B) It is my impression that if there is an 'either or' choice forced on this issue PC is substantially more likely to happen.

As previously stated there are valid concerns to be raised with both platforms but not only does dividing the community not resolve those concerns it hinders other positive motion.
