I think ol Jack meant something along the lines that DUST 514 will exit closed beta and will be OPEN TO ALL! That would make the most sense.

And that's nice, but I would like to hear what CCP thinks he meant ;-))

That tweet is dated June 5.
Later is NOW.

EDIT
And "later this year" doesn't mean "end of the year."
Not if you believe words have been created for a reason.

CCP had 3+ years to do Dust, more time than any FPS nowadays which take 18-24 months max to be developed, so a October release date is not out of this world.

What is out of this world is that after so much time Dust 514 is so poor.

If by develop you mean re-skin the same old game for the 7th time, then yes, hell even a year is even a realistic turn around.

But if by develop you actually mean create a new game from scratch, which does stuff that has never been done before. Then no 18-24 months is not to be expected, in fact if CCP did make Dust that quickly, odds are it would suck.

CCP took a lot of time and Dust 514 s***...A LOT.

And for what?
Gameplay is poor and the gamepaly is what makes games worth playing fro me.

EVE stuff without a solid gameplay to sustain it is worth nothing.

Gameplay testing started winter 2011 internally.
I entered the beta in June and what I played was the Fanfest map with Fanfest gameplay & mechanics and now 6 months later FromFanfest the wrong ideas din't go away and are actually used to build Dust 514.

For the record.

Still I will believe it when I play it.
CCP promised improvements for months and they never actually arrived.

Why so hard to believe?
Open beta build goes at the end of this month.
And launch at the end of october?

So would I! I doubt the release will stretch into next year. We are getting the builds faster now than when the beta first launched. I also doubt it will launch in December it'll be November at most but not hard to believe in October either. Whats to stop it from launching in October and they treat it like EVE online?

Lol I think I'm gona just ignore all this cos Ceo's nevar know wtf is going on most of the time.

- CCP is confident about the next build, has NO DOUBT that it's gonna work after 1 test's month, and launch will be end of October or first week on November...

This is all I'm asking and I'm not really interested in speculation from my fellow forum posters--sorry guys, I love y'all.

Just a simple confirmation or refutation of what master Jack said would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

People need to relax. CCP has not confirmed it
