This is an actual beta in that significant progress is still being made in the game as testing continues. Many "betas" - as you mention - exist basically to test the network and tighten up any last few bugs. This is not that kind of beta.
Quote:In fact, I really see no improvements or changes from 2 months ago.
Mmhmm...
Numerous balancing alterations (AV/Vehicle, Installations, etc.).
Significant graphical improvement.
Vastly faster UI/Menu navigation.
Completely different battle joining mechanism.
Squads; the ability to play with a group of three other selected players.
Significant weapon variations and salvage.
So if you are seeing "no improvements or changes" you appear be completely unaware of gameplay mechanics, blind or lacking much in the way of visual acuity, unaware of the passage of time, and playing completely solo without once entering a battle, finishing a battle, or viewing the market. Which would make me wonder how you are playing this game...
Troll on, brother. |

Barring a major change of plans, it will be a free to play game.
And, like EVE, it will grow significantly over time.
Some people like that. They like to invest in a universe, in a character, that will last - we'll, EVE is closing in on a decade now. Other people want a quick fix that'll last for a little while before getting the next quick fix of similar gameplay.
See: Battlefield 1942, The Road to Rome, Secret Weapons of WWII, Battlefield 2, Special Forces, Euro Force, Armored Fury, Battlefield 3 Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, Battlefield 2142, Northern Strike. Battlefield 1943, Battlefield: Bad Company, Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Nothing wrong with either - there are plenty of options. DUST is a new and different choice. |
