Tread very carefully... that's just what they want you to think.

Skill based leagues

Are you saying a skill based system is a new thing ? Because Halo , Battlefield bad company , and shadow run had it way before BO2.

Anyway they said they want a triple a shooter .

If you think cod 4 is a AAA game because it was "innovative" Then dust is going to be a AAAA game

can dust be a AAA game? this is not troll post.

one thing i do know is it is a single letter A game for now.

COD 4 had things in it, that change FPS for console games the mixing of genre... DUST is a great game but a AAAA game? only one game can take that throne and that's ZELDA 64.

What do you consider EVE online to be using your "A" scale?

If by triple AAA you mean a game that is revolutionary, genre-inspiring, and possessing of a rabid fan base, then yes, I believe that DUST 514 can achieve that accomplishment.

i played that

but wheres the innovation in BLACK OPS?

leagues for competitive play
skill based matchmaking now
ingame live streaming without the need for capture equipment or a pc
things in place for wannabe shoutcasters and pro shoutcasters to comment live streams

BO2 as much as i dont like cod has raised the bar and doin something for the competitive community so i give my props to treyarch

CCP needs to step up, game been around since 09 and still crap hit detection, clunky/sluggish gameplay
lacking stuff for competitive play at launch, prob wont even get VR rooms aka private settings for corps to practice at launch either

This game is not even close atm to a AAA game....its fun but def not AAA
clans will drop this game so fast if they dont have practice areas/VR rooms and idk how many will wait around for Gladiator arenas tbh

lets hope it turns out well tho, but i must say my hype has died down alot

jesus next youll be linking wizzo:P

Clowns do not exist.

Ok, this is not a troll question, seriously I totally mean it. But is anything cooler than jesus?

They should do this at the local bowling alley. The whole live streaming thing and amateur commentary.

Look, playing FPS games as if they were a weekly bowling league meet up is fun and I certainly understand and appreciate the allure of all that. I am looking forward to arena fights in Dark Souls and would be much more tempted to get a PC just for that than EVE. But EVE is all about persistent and total war, not the sporting kind, either. The idea of competitive FPS E sports is fun and all but kind of a sideshow.

Also it doesn't seem like a number of people get that this game isn't really going to launch. It is just going to keep chugging along and just sort of be there. It isn't like a box game where they need to pile in the players the first month after the game comes out and then hope some will be hooked enough to buy the DLC until the next sequel lands on store shelves.

I agree about the clunky, sluggish gameplay for the most part. Hit detection is hit or miss. Hopefully that will get sorted out.

But there's no need to get dramatic and all "the sky is falling!" about the supposed failure to launch. Just stop back in from time to time and see how things are going. If and when they get the FPS arenas up and running I am sure someone will pay you super stars some money to fight it out. Or throw a match. Who knows. And by that time there might be a whole new generation of COD kids who might be willing to give the game a try.

Yep .. sounds like Triple A to me.

turok was better or at least as good but less people played it. and has the one of the best weapons ever in the cerebrial bore. google it.

can dust be a AAA game? this is not troll post.

what makes a AAA game?
how many copies they sold?
how many bugs in the game?
graphics,gameplay or both?
story?
innovation?
budget?

i can name some games that are AAA games but didn't sell well, does that make them AAA games? i remember when snake was on a NOKIA 3210 everyone was playing it, does that make snake a AAA game?

COD 4 was a AAA game because it was new way of looking at a FPS but, does that make MW3,BLACK OPS and BLACK OPS 2 AAA games? is the word AAA games used to much? because there seems to be a lot of AAA games coming out ever year with no new innovations in the games.

the problem with games companies calling there games AAA is it for free publicity? is there really that many AAA games that come out ever year or is it a hand full every decade?

what makes DUST 514 a AAA title? it has innovation, it has story i don't know, has it got a big budget i don't know. one thing i do know is it is a single letter A game for now.

how many copies they sold?
how many bugs in the game?
graphics,gameplay or both?
story?
innovation?
budget?

With that list i dunno tbh

COD>BF3>KZ3>MAG for copies sold but tbh that means **** all to me, for all i know 1million retards bought the same game but does that make said game awesome? no

Bugs - BF3 still cant group up with ppl and mics still dodgy not to mention always an OP weapon because patches always break something and make guns useless aka foregrip adds recoil how ******** is that, flares distract a lazer guided missile lol, forgot crap servers since majority are private, MAG lots of bugs tbh

Graphics - BF3 wins, but 12v12 on a console on massive maps = boring and quiet, COD uses same engine i think for past few years and KZ3 did look good but meh, graphics for me not too fussed about, MAG bad graphics

Gameplay - BF3 only for vehicles, KZ3 for something different, MAG for large scale

Story - BF3 short and crap tbh, COD never bothered with it but sounds crap, KZ3 prob best of the lot but the 3rd installment was too short and half arsed at best

Innovation - BF3 none, KZ3 none, COD none, MAG lots tbh

Budget - COD and BF3 prob heavily advertised and KZ3 had a little bit but once again means nothing to me


AAA titles are a myth these days for me

name five games in gaming history that are AAA games.
