If you are like me you have been feeling the loss of Dust 514 being shut down and since I have been searching for a similar game that has all the same characteristics of gameplay but have come up with nothing that even compared to Dust 514.
Two days ago I tried a free game in the PlayStation Store called Blacklight: retribution. Holy crap this game has everything that Dust 514 had and more.
I will see you there on the battlefield.

Except Zombie Studios went out of business ages ago and now the game is run by a company called Arc that buys up old F2P IPs, keeps the virtual store open to rake in microtransactions, and then dumps them the moment the income drops low enough.
I sunk quite a few hours and dollars into that game and enjoyed the hell out of it, but it never got as much content as it should have and now it never will because Arc doesn't add anything to games it consumes.

I have been playing Blacklight for a while on PC now and yea it is definitely a good game.
It just lacks the depth that Dust had as well as being a bit too much of a twitch shooter even tho it is no where near as twitchy as other games.
@Mobius That is interesting to know that that is how Arc rolls. Thanks for that info.

Yeah, same as the company who picked up Hawken. Companies like that just use other people's properties that they had to sell off to make themselves cash.
I mean, it's a perfectly reasonable business model. It just means that there aren't going to be any more content updates.

Yea once you mentioned it I thought back and could not remember ever seeing an update to BLR. I started on it not too long after ARC took over.
I would call it a great business model. Over head is limited to a few server clusters and a couple of devs to ensure those connections stay strong with very minor tweaks. I will say that with BLR my latency to the server almost never tops 20ms so they at lease do not seem to be taking the cheap route there.
With the explosion of free to play games specially from studios who may not have the greatest monetization strategies I can see this being a growing model.

It's a funny game, but it can't be compared to dust, it's more like a COD or BF kind of shooter.
I don't understand why the team has put such an effort in creating all kind of equipments and support stuff when TTK is so low.

Hawken is interesting, it seems well done, TTK is resonably high in 1 vs 1, but i just started playing it yesterday, can't give it a vote.
I have Call of Duty 3 Black Ops and I can't stand it. I hate storylines. I just want to go in as a soldier with or without a team and start shooting people for points and wins. I also hate games that put players in tiers of equal status players. like World of Tanks. No matter how good you get you are always going to be up against guys that are your level and never below which just makes the game perpetually even and no one can have an advantage over another. Boring

It does not have vehicles and is no more than a rip off of COD |

You actually bring up quite an interesting point there that I had not really thought about.
I just wonder which is worse. Never really wanting to upgrade because everything stays the same as you progress like what you talk about or having it like Dust where new players either get stomped out or start trying to pay to win.
I really wish we could see the revenue per user that Dust ended up generating just to see how well that model ultimately worked out for CCP but obviously that will never happen.At the end of the day CCP could have really killed on the concept if they would have had some sort of safe place for newbies to hide with little to no reward (PVE) just to give them a chance to really get a feel for anything in the game before they had protos **** stomping them into a puddle.
I am sure Rattati will account for how that worked in the new game so at least we will get a clue.

Deleted, too many button to press at the same time.
I don't want to play shooters with jetpacks or double jumps again.
