Just like most of you guys who still come here to post on these forums, I miss dust. At least I miss the experiences that dust provided and I have had a real hard time finding something similar.
Have any of you played a game called Mechwarrior Online? Its not a traditional FPS game but it has a lot of the great customisation and battle tactics that I used to see in Dust.
It might not be everyones cup of tea but I have found it to mostly fill the hole that dust left.
Also things are changing in the game soon and you will be able to customise your mech to your liking, similar to how the mix of dust fitting and the dust skill system allowed it in Dust 514.
Light, medium, heavy and assault classes provide that differentation of gameplay just like the light medium and heavy dropsuits did.
Give it a try its free to play. (On PC only I think)
This is the turning point, the rising of the tide.
No fear inside

It still has a lot of work that needs to be done, but I'd recommend giving it a shot as well. I'd also recommend a mod I used to work on, because some community members have actually figured out the game files and started producing new updates! https://clanjadewolf.net/mwll/This is a Crysis Wars total-conversion-mod featuring not just 'Mechs from the Battletech franchise, but also Aerospace Fighters, VTOL Gunships, Tanks and APCs, and Battlearmor (heavy infantry powered-armor suits). The best part is it's COMPLETELY free! No micro-transactions or anything. You just download that installer which comes with the Crysis Wars demo, and you can just play.
A clanner <3. Thanks for the heads up about this, I have heard about living legends I will check this all out.
On the subject of games similar to DUST, what do other people reccomend?

Mad Syringe wrote:OK guys, I know it's completely different to dust, but for me Star Citizen, is the only game I'm hyped about. It is still a long way from being as intense as Dust was. But the lobby shooter module is going to be released mid December. And it has combat on space stations, including zero g areas in it. It will be still very Alpha. The module is going to be a testbed for the shooter mechanics. Which seem to go for a more realistic aproach. Also the final persistent universe will have permadeath, so tactics will be more important. But the weapon and suit customizability, that they are aiming for, and the already designed dropships, let me hope for really intense ground, spacestation and boarding combat in the future. See ya there. ps. my tag in SC is Dandeth Adloth
Yea star citizen does look incredible on my pc. Havent played in a while but boarding peoples ships unaware only to shotgun them in the face when they least expect it is a lot of fun =ƒÿä.

Planetside 2 is very similar, but I heard it's hard, and I can confirm that in fact it is, since I played it for a month or so. Once you understand the mechanics of the game and give yourself a personal goal (like getting a specific weapon), the game isn't so hard and can be played for hours everyday. The one major problem of PS2 is the lack of players at certain hours. If there ain't enough players fighting, all the fights become boring as hell. I figured the best fights happen when there are 32 vs 32 players in one area, 64 vs 64 being borderline unplayable, 128+ vs 128+ is a total mess. On the topic, I might try this game CommanderBolt (nice to see you here btw), once I'm done with the Half Life and Mass Effect series ;)
Hey man yea its been quite some time.
Give MWO a try, its different for sure but im enjoying it. Guess we havent heard anything about nova yet then?
