Well it happened not many beta testers left playing. first beta that i have been in that people have just stopped playing. we need something new ccp. there is nothing left to try for people.

Above poster implies that console players are spoon-fed everything whenever they get bored.

Get a life, Nukem. CCP aren't EA, Activision or Epic. They have to work on the game, instead of just pump out a new build whenever they think their players are getting bored.

Also, something fresh? COD's been the same game for the past five years, just with a new name and a huge new price tag on. CCP will pump out a new, FREE, expansion pack twice a year (like they do for EVE). How's that for fresh, huh?

At least COD gives you more than ONE friggin map to play on! LOL! I detest COD nowadays, but they have the perfect formula geared towards console players. Thats undeniable. Its amazing ppl stuck around for as long as they did playing on ONE map! Working on their product is all well n good, but introducing something fresh on the fly to testers who have been testing the same scale for weeks and months is not at all too much to ask since we're all testing for ccp for FREE at that! Another incorrigible damage control FAIL

COD full game or Beta?

Cause you know...not the full game yet.

**** its thursday?

I did not know tht i may be able to squeeze in a few games but ive already maxed out my chara in what i want so im just now collecting SP with no idea what to skill up

To alot of console players who aren't familiar with how a TRUE beta works.... this beta was a critical impression on how they feel the game is going to be. Once they're gone, rarely do they return. ESPECIALLY when there is very little buzz behind the IP. Like in the case of DUST 514. ccp beta testing formula would had been acceptable on pc, but not on consoles. It shows in the population declination

Look at all these morons damage conttolling on behalf of ccp! LOL! There were at least twice as many ppl playing this game around this time in weeks past, now all of a sudden there is a scant amount of ppl.Its no mere coincidence. ppl are extremely bored with the same EVERYHING. Due to ccp ineptness they're going to lose even more testers. Newsflash to ccp: u cant take ur uber sweet ass time on console. ppl are quick to move on n call ur product a dud if they dont see something fresh at a certain point.

I think you're overreacting.

Also, there IS a lot of buzz behind the IP. A fully player driven universe? Integration with a whole other, different genre of game? People have bought PS3's for this. Friends of mine are interested in playing, having never played a console shooter before. Articles are being written on blogs *everywhere* about DUST. It even has people who aren't interested in EVE interested. Some people on these forums have started playing EVE because of DUST.

Not much buzz.. Har.

Maybe their is alot of buzz. maybe i stand corrected. Maybe the words i should have used is 'lack of interest' There is plenty of that! thousands of beta keys just given away n only a measly 300 some odd ppl online as we speak!! Spanning all servers! LOLOLOL! Its factual irrefutable evidence guy. Accept it!

How many beta testers got told "go bak to CoD" and just said "ok..."
They're the smart ones... Not those I is clinging to the hope that Dust might actually release in a decent package.

Those "clinging", are the ones that stick it out to get things fixed.

No offense, but its not like this isnt heard in EVERY BETA;

"This sucks"
"Its terrible"
"Your a fanboy!"
"Your a whiner"!

Those "clinging", are the ones that stick it out to get things fixed.

newsflash to dumbass i would rather have them take there sweet ass time on the next release than have them give out a half-assed release every week. i mean whats the point of giving out a broken product to beta testers then everyone would leave and they would be moved farther behind schedule having to go back in and fix the update.

And see the potential in the game beyond their own immediate gratification.

Wow ur dumb! "whats the point of giving out a broken product to beta testers" REALLY?? The whole point of CLOSED beta testing ( Which we're all in right now btw) is for us to FIX whats broken! Thats where BETA TESTERS play a pivotal role! We're here to assist by fixing, breaking, then assisting in a final fix on the build. Also, i'm not asking for a new build every week. You're seeing things that aren't there. Wow damage control retort FAIL

God the stupid never ends with you. We don't FIX anything, we break things so CCP can see what to fix. Or we help stress test to help them find issues in their server code. Don't make our job out to be more than it is.

Really?? CCP gave us a relatively broken build with the purpose in mind for us to assist them in FIXING IT by doing all of what you last mentioned and then some! Your making yourself look more idiotic! Just stop already

Immediate gratification is the name of the game on consoles

Don't get me wrong Vig, I'm still holding tight. But the amount of terrible idea's posted on the forums is LoL funny. They are the ideas that will influence te next build.
Bottom line the "community" doesn't understand FPS games in general. They aren't asking for what they want in regards to game mechanics, only what they don't want I.e CoD.

Oh and there are only half as many people on now a there were this time last week (250 instead of our usual rotating 500).

build is old. ga,e isn't game, but yeah I'm bored I'm not going to log in if there is nothing new to try. Why waste my time?

No seriously give me one good reason I should play this weekend. My stats will get reset anyways

we need contacts/squad supprt alreay .. this is gettng redundant. you establish a relation to your gunner for 1 match then get some noob with a broken trigger finger the next

Black Ops 2 comes out in November and dust beta is ostensibly competing with Halo 4, COD and that mash-up. If we aren't doing some crazy dust stuff by then the Beta might die to the spread of competition coming out. I know November is dedicated to Black Ops 2 Zombie mode in our house and Dust is gonna have to be pretty interesting make me wanna play something that may very well be a similar build but with corrections and additions. I want to love dust but its getting hard to right now.

No, what is really getting redundant is the same group of people and threads posting up every five seconds reminding us of their dissapointment, or boredom. That is redundant, and quickly getting stale.

I'm not saying that CCP does not need to hurry up with the rate of information and changing of builds, and what mechanics we have access to, but the people here on the forums are especially not helping the current situation by shooting off at the mouth. The negativity and trying to vex the people is not helping at all.

Usually log in about 10pm-2am GMT, always about 600 people on.

Another "I'm an entitled gamer bullshit thread"

Your getting a free game, what more do you want.

First off that sort of thinking is what bothers me most in supposed "gamers". The whole notion that it has to directly be in compitition with another franchise no matter how far apart they are. You know since apparently players and gamers are only allowed to play one title... Sense the sarcasm?

As for Call of Duty, and it's upcoming title from Teyarch -- Call of Duty: Black Ops2 -- the masses need to stop trying to make every new FPS title or sequel a supposed competitor, or Call of Duty killer. It will not happen. Simply because, Call of Duty fills a niche' and it appeals to the majority. Even if people hate it, or dislike the yearly iterations. It still has the majority on it's side, and again fills a very broad niche' that most other games cannot fill, or fail attempting to recreate it. I may not be the biggest supporter of the franchise, and I get annoyed by things too concerning the series.

Halo and more precisely Halo4 is going to be something of the same, but different. New development team and staff, new direction, new plot, and story with all new enemies pertaining to the plot. It's Halo though and considering it's almost completly different in every possible way then Call of Duty it fills it's niche' nicely as well.

CCP on the other hand is trying to create a whole sub genre. Not just some sci-fi shooter. If people would stop allowing themselves to somehow see what they want (mind-matrixing) and actually realized that Dust514 is different from both franchises thing would be that much better. They are however doing something very unheard to the entire industry in many respects, and in a lot of ways in which we have never seen in a title. Just because, at the moment all we've been allowed to play with for the majority are the basic FPS genre mechanics and vehicle play does not mean there is not more to come.

Seriously tired of trying to explain the basics to people. If you have your mind set on something that is on you. Especially since all it takes apparently to entertain you is a fresh coat of paint and a zombie horde game-mode. Congratulations on that. Not bashing on Call of Duty the community is worse then the games ever have been, but stale bread, and/or flat beer still sucks.

I'm not CCP's keeper though, and if people are going to convince themselves, or set their mind on something so be it. I'm not a fanboy, I just happen to see more then the average person. Being calm and rational helps too.

All-in-all? Meh.. I'm going to put my bet on Dust514 for being something that will end up being more different then what is out there and to come (again.) Not everyone has to and in all honesty there is no reason to not play Dust514 as it is at the core -- free -- and no one said you only have to play one damn title. I'll play a title so long as it is good and interesting. Too bad the industry seems set on selling me stale beer, and/or watered down liquor. Still nonetheless Dust514 will find it's own. If CCP can fix issues, run a smooth game, and get it functioning then it will be fine. What I want most from CCP themselves is more information, and to relay that information to "us" the players, and testers. Keeping us in the dark, is putting a lot of strain on us all -- some more then others.
