DUST is a bit like MAG, except better

PS2 is more like MAG because of the randoms you get put with, also 1 faction is UP and getting stomped on atm

Dust is a ****** FPS game. Everything else CCP is doing right.

whoa slow down if there was no mag ther would be no dust mag was/is revolutionary dust is continuing in those steps
MASSIVE ACTION GAME hence the title MAG b4 mag there were never ( i repeat NEVER) that many ppl on a server.

Currently, MAG is way more enjoyable than Dust.

TBQH....MAG is overrated.
As someone who played MAG for 800 hours i can tell u ppl played MAG mainly because

1. the ppl they played with
2. easiest FPS on the market

Ive seen alot of these "top" MAG clans try to adjust to other games and fly out suck
DUST currently is very easy, gear USED to give u a big advantage making it even easier with all the current terrible ppl playin it.
thank god CCP nerfed dropsuits so gear matters less and skill matters more

tbh if this game didnt have FW/Nullsec/Gladiator arenas it would be terrible and just exactly like MAG with all the terrible randoms and players playin it.

I hate ez games, im a competitive player so competition and challenge is what i seek.
stats dont mean **** if im just rapin randoms

which is why corp warfare and gladiator arenas are the 2 things that interest me in this game.

Dust is weak compared to MAG. You can't do the worm in Dust. Lame or what?

MAG was and is better than Dust could ever hope to be.

Planetside 2 is and will be better than Dust.

But but it has competitive play

Competitive play aka corp/clan battles mean **** if gunplay and movement sucks!

Okay.. I love MAG as much as the next persons, and I was there playing MAG since the first [beta], but seriously the two are far from one another. They share the same grandeur ideas, and I do think CCP tries to pay homage when it can -- dropsuits and whatnot. However as everyone has said the two are far from one another. PlanetSide2 probably feels more like MAG, but that is more explainable by the fact that Sony and it's branch SOE (Sony Online Entertainement) own the IP (Intelectual Property) known as MAG and I can assure that some of people from Zipper probably took jobs with Sony again even after Sony closed down Zipper Interactive. Just saying things can be explained for that feeling of magic.

In terms though MAG compared to either Dust514, or PlanetSide2 is the ancient ancestor to a much grandeur realization. It's still a solid title to be sure. It's just a shame that Sony and both Zipper allowed it to die, and hindered it from ever being truelly better. They can pay their homage, but the three are still different with only loose ties to one another.

Partially true and I only say that because MAG was modelled from the original Planetside.

Lol if Stew360 saw this he would be having a nerdgasm.

I wish I could try PS2 but unfortunately I don't have a gaming computer and I'm not about to buy one.

The spec isnt that fancy. For the love of MAG...is all I can say lol because this is, after all, a dust forum....but I'll say a bit more

I will be playing both when launched but my prediction is that I will spend a lot more time on PS2 because its like that intensity/ecstacy of a timer stopped sabo game, but on a domination numbers game with unlimited time...

if the situation is right, it doesn't last for just that extra five or ten minutes, but that battle goes on for hours at a time....thats what I just cannot get over.....I spent over two hours on the same choke points with just so much intense action because just like MAG SVER, the PS2 equivalents the NC just push hard....two hours I ran between six letters in close proximity...the numbers on each faction in this area, were mind boggling.....ain't ever seen anything like it in my whole life...colossal battle...

LOL

It's too bad that PS2 won't arrive on the PS3, I guess at this time I'll have to put my hope to Dust being able to grow into a game that I will enjoy just as much as I enjoyed MAG. =)

It sounds awesome, how are the FPS mechanics? RBS, aim assist, or any of that type of bullshit? In other words, does skill matter in this game?

Then go play MAG with 1 server and massive lag anyways so even if you do hit someone they can soak it up like a sponge and kill you instead

Dust has been in devlepment since 2009

DUST 514 == Cheese Burger Catnip Sandwich

Thanks for showing up Englebert. Good to have you along. Get a PC and get into PS2 if you wanna go to MAG heaven....

correction
Dust is an evolution of what MAG wouldn't want to be + more.

I always thought CCP should get some of the guys from team zipper. They made MAG in 2009, which was awesome for its time, and are familiar with all sorts of issues in big battles over very few server. as far as i know, they only had 3 servers, in asia, europe, and north america with players from all around the world, and they're still up and running.

@Ludvig -

I agree with you. Some of the most memorable things I have ever done in a game I have done in MAG. That game provided an experienced that you had to have had in order to understand why that game is so special to so many players. There is just something about how that game funneled people together and was able to make you feel like you were apart of something great.

I think Dust will accomplish what MAG did, but I think Dust will be much better at it. Being set in New Eden gives us the chance to actually participate in a living universe the likes of which, potentially, no FPS player has ever seen. Think instead of SVER/VALOR/RAVEN that player created corps will be just as large as those factions and the space they occupy, the territory they control, won't be some arbitrary line in the sand. The politics, the wars, the story will all be player created and that creation will take on a life of its own in way that MAG could never have hoped.
