Well, I hate to be "that guy" but Dust has been in development since 2009 -at least-, which would mean that this is it's third year of development and testing. More likely however, is that it has been in development since 2007 or 2008, in which case this would be its fourth or fifth year of development and testing. So your argument that Dust has only been in testing for a few months vs CoD which has had over a decade, is slightly skewed, and quite invalid really.
However, the same is true for CoD, it was probably in development for two-to-four years before launch, meaning Black Ops 2 will be around it's 12th or 13th year. So your argument should be Dust has only had five years of development and testing, where as CoD has had just over a decade, more than doubling the time that Dust has been around.
This argument is still valid however, as CoD took -three years- after its initial launch to finally have a decent feel about it, and really make it's name popular, meaning that Dust still has hope, quite a lot at that. So long as CCP keeps themselves devoted to their players, and never shelves Dust 514, it will grow, and it will gain a following, just like EVE has. There will always be people looking for a deeper experience, and Dust will provide that. |

It's called Carbon, and it really is an amazing engine. It would not surprise me if rather than scrapping that, they simply shelved it for the time being in favor of an already well suited engine, and will revisit it later, perhaps when the "PS4" makes its appearance?

Take into account that CoD was Infinity Ward's first title, and they did not have the resources available to them that CCP does right now. It isn't going to take Dust another three years to get it right, but it might take one more. I would say they are already on the right track in many areas.
All I'm saying, is that his argument is flawed, and thus no longer valuable, because his information is incorrect.
Edit: I thought I was talking to Theshizogenious? Multiple characters..? |
