It really is. Sit back and take the time to think about it. As a gamer, how appealing is DUST514 as a title? It isn't.
To a person unfamiliar with the game, this title makes no sense. Is it a game about dust particles? What does 514 stand for? What genre is it?
Even the veterans of the game don't know what DUST514 stands for and I'm willing to bet Rattati doesn't know as well. At least titles like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Counter-Strike, etc. make some sense. They even give some indication as to what type of games they each are.
DUST514?... Wtf am I looking at?! |

One more thing... How ambiguous is 514?
If I didn't already know that it's said as "five one four," I'd be confused to all hell as what to make of it.
Is it five-hundred fourteen? Is it fifty-one four? Is it five fourteen? |

What's its origin? What/where is it derived from? What does it mean? Please, explain. You seem to have the answer to a question many of us have always wanted to know. What is DUST514? |

Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu,
Mein Irisch Kind,
Wo weilest du?
So let's deconstruct this piece of information.
The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot will be what we are to work off of.
-The poem is broken down into five sections.
We'll use this as a starting point to see how DUST514 relates to Eliot's poem.
-"April is the cruellest month, breeding"
This is the first line to the first section of the poem. What significance does it have?
Will be back later. Too tired to analyze anything at the moment... |

What's with this ashes to ashes crap you guys keep bringing up?
Rattati made it clear with his post that the title is derived in some way from T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land." |
