People have said that looks like a clone of X or Y or Z game already out there. Well, thats not so bad, COD, the BF series and Halo are all massively successful. For Nova to be compared to them at this early stage even without the Dust bits we all know and love bodes very well for the future of a New Eden FPS game.
The reason people are comparing to to COD and Halo is because it has the same ****** elements of the games, small areas, small numbers, TDM only, bloody screen so real!, etc We already have enough crappy clones of said games so why do we want another one?
I realize that your posts are just a rhetorical excuse to spout off and you are not actually interested in reading apposing viewpoints, but...
small areas: The map they used for the Demo was small, but they intend to reuse the DUST maps for Planetary Conquest and I would assume there will be a variety of different size maps for Public matches.
small numbers: Only the demo was 6 v 6, and that was due to physical space restrictions at the venue and to reduce que times since there might not always be 32 people standing around waiting to play. Nova will be 16 v 16 at launch (much more than COD), and if the architecture holds up they can always add game modes with more people later.
Sorry, I don't know what TDM means, nor do I get the "bloody screen so real!" reference.

We should keep in mind that this is Pre-Alpha.
I expect the Alpha will have more fitting options and the progression will be worked on.
By the time we get to a Beta I would expect to have full progressions, fittings, P2P Nova markets, chat channels, corporations, Planetary Conquest, etc.
At some point in the Beta I would like to see shared chat channels with EVE, Shared Corporations with EVE.
I would like to see the economic integration of the two games at some time in the Beta, but it sounds like that might come in an expansion after release. Personally I think it would be better to design Planetary Conquest and the economic integration with EVE at the same time, rather than giving PC placeholder objectives as they did in DUST.
Maybe some day, we can get Orbital Strikes again, but there is no point in even starting development on that until the economic integration has gotten EVE Corporations wanting to hold districts.
What I am more interested in is some open world content, such as the Scavenging Districts mentioned in the Legion discussions. There is where I might like to see larger groups of people on a map, and the opportunity for social interaction over personal objectives rather than team objectives. That would give it more of a MMO feel.

If this forum shuts down when DUST goes offline, I assume they will add a subsection for the new FPS on the EVE forum. I post on the EVE forum as Renier Gaden.
