Dust has more Factions than Planetside 2, Dust has multiple corporations, Dust is connect to a massive online game on the pc (the first to connect console with pc), Dust economy/trade/money system look better, and Dust lasting appeal looks better. The purpose of Dust 514 is more interesting than planetside 2 even though they kind of similar, but Dust is way more deeper. It's more stuff that Dust has to offer, but I still need to learn more. Here is a list of things I want to see added sooner or later.
1.) Gun gameplay improvements
2.) I want to have a gun with a flashlight or laser attachment (Especially on Dark planets)
3.) Dual Pistols FTW
4.) Remote Drones/better kill feed
5.) I want the texture graphics to improve and if possible add motion blur.
6.) A lot of different pistol types and knife types added to the market.
7.) A female sidekick and a Heavy too and if possible a midget. I'm not joking. Edit: I'm joking about the midget lol
8.) I want the option to customize everything's appearance. I want vehicles, weapons, and dropsuits all able to be customize. Such as if I was on a dessert planet. I want my gun, dropsuit, and vehicle to be an dessert fatigue or some kind of dessert color just like if I was on a water planet I would want blue or black colors.
Well this my opinion and I think Dust 514 is going to be better than planetside 2. I have some more opinion coming soon....
Honestly, I think besides being scifi MMO's and first person shooters, Dust 514 and Planetside 2 are really apples and oranges. Dusts main attraction is going to be the strategic value of the battles you play in (taking actual, permanent installations if you win) versus Planetside 2 where its by definition, an endless war that is just for fun. True, there are definitely strategic elements in Planetside 2, but not nearly to the same extend as a combined Dust + EVE universe.
Meanwhile Planetside 2 has stronger gunplay (tech test approved!) and is across the board more balanced because theres no disparity between equipment, at least not to the degree that exists in Dust. (Such unbalance in Dust is arguably intentional, and will be much more appropriate to the sandbox style this game will be at launch).
The biggest difference however, is obviously that Planetside 2 is 666v666v666 while Dust will be 24v24. No matter how you argue it, that fact alone makes the two very hard to compare objectively.
Comparing the two is pretty unfair because at the core of it, Dust 514 and Planetside 2 will play dramatically different even if both are FPS's. I personally, will be playing both and will enjoy both :)
