Dust is not any more fun than COD is. it may make you want to keep playing it with the reward system but thats not why people are going to try this game. every FPS should have some element of COD, like matched games and whatnot. But what I really enjoyed about other MMOs is the open world. this game has maps. not an open world to explore. I was really hoping this game would take that direction eventually because that would bring something brand new to FPS.

SO to my point. EVE has a world to explore and mine and NPC missions and its not just the PVP part. why cant Dusters be able to walk around and explore different worlds? This game just brings nothing new to the table so far. i like FPS and i like open world MMOs. and so far i like Dust 514.

If this game doesnt have a TON of more content coming with it then it will flop. it really will. This game needs ALOT more time and testing and content. I can play COD or MW3 and get the same experience. bring the best of ALL worlds and combine them into one with your own brand CCP!

Also, Hurry up and let us test the PVE already!

Dust will support the largest maps that the unreal 3.5 engine can support with out cracking. However that is the limitation, the old arcitecture of unreal 3.5.

If you want openworld, you need to play planetside 2.

Technically this[dust] is open world, because each map is actually situated on and based off the real terrain of a planet in eve. A facility may look similar or the same, but the maps geographical elements and environment will varry wildly based off of planetary mapping etc.

So yeah for now matches are 24 v 24, not the same kind of huge scale that planet side has with thousands of players. However planetside still has to have multiple servers. The open world element comes from occupying the same space as all the capsuleers in eve, and using the same market they do, and every other dust merc in new eden. Also if your fighting a match over a district on a planet theres other districts on the same planet being fought over by other merc groups. When your finish your match the map will have changed based on the victories defeats of those matches. This intern will effect planetary control for the dusters and the capsuleers in space. It may even play into sovereignty control for Faction war fare, and player empires in null sec.

Your next shot could topple an empire.

This is where the open world stuff comes from. It may be a single match, but the out come has far reaching consequences for the rest of new eden.

Also if you want to mine dont worry. Each planet has resources to offer. If you sieze a facility it can provide your dust corp with those resources or to what ever capsuleer group or other dust group you transfer it too.

So we're the latest military tech, and you want us to go mining? Not my idea of fun, but looking at FarmVille / mine craft, this would be something to attract more people. I have no problem with it being included, and certainly look forward to PvE especially co-op.

i dont think you smell what im steppin in john. its obvious that all of the mechanics that are in place now, which are nothing short of COD/BF3 redux, will still be there for you. I merely want something new to the FPS standpoint that will maybe even redefine the Genre. Besides, mining in EvE isn't something you will do, so why complain about the people that like to do that? they keep your EvE economy rolling.

maybe we need some people like that from the Dust side.

That said, protecting NPC mining gangs from drones or even other players would be better than doing it yourself. I wouldn't even mind the addition of skills to increase yield, or find less common minerals/materials after a mission. I'm quite keen for those who want to make industry have that option open to them. I want it open to me too, even though I probably won't take that path. Dust industry should be smaller scale, enough to find a Duster, but not enough to find EvE players.
