They build the produckt to a certain point and then put it out to players to play and test it out. Then they go back to it and iterate on it to make it better. And add some new features to it and release that. And so on. Even if DUST were to be 'released/launched' on summer 2013 EVEN then it IS NOT COMPLETE. It never will be. This is a complete paradigm shift to players in consoles and to quite extensively also to PC players.
The issue here is that too many devs these days release incomplete online games which are far too buggy or unbalanced, and it really hurts the game and community. Most PS3 online games are usually fairly playable about 6 months after release, but the point leading up to those 6 months is typically pretty bad.
If they released in 2013 the game would be FAR more complete than if they were to release it next month. And as I pointed out above, 6 extra months is usually all it takes for a incomplete, buggy and unbalanced release-beta to be pretty near complete (at least complete enough to not horribly affect the gameplay negatively).
Not sure what they have in the next build, but I doubt it will be considered "release worthy" by any means. Maybe in 2-3 more builds, but certainly not the next one! I fear this will severely hurt the game if people play the beta in it's form now and think it is the final release version.
It has been proven over and over with other PS3 games, that releasing too early can absolutely KILL a game.

Speaking for those of us that haven't seen the next build we have NO IDEA what has been fixed or stabilised or balanced, for all we know the next build IS release worthy.
Anybody here remember the vast difference between last build and this, or are you all that blinkered by the problems this build has had ?
They've known about the freezes and disconnects and invalid fittings for a good while now, I'm not saying they will have fixed everything or that in fixing stuff they won't have introduced other bugs, but this is what beta testing is for. If you're not up to the task, quit complaining and go play a pre-release demo instead.
Anybody who has been though a decent amount of betas knows the routine. I guarantee you the next build will NOT be release worthy. Sure, it might be a huge improvement, but that doesn't make it release worthy. There is still going to be enough bugs, lag, disconnects, freezes, and other random issues to keep it from being truly release material.
Those who caution the games premature release are wise, because we know from experience how this works. Sadly those of us who do understand these things, are a dieing breed.
