I had been thinking along those lines also.....

(scene opens -
bright sunny day middle of the barracks)
(two modern day infantry soldiers learning that their being volunteered for some new weapons testing )

one says to the other...

" hey how hard could it be to test fire some new weapons and drive a few vehicles"

(scene changes to -)
(cut-scene of Dust 514 mercs in battle)

soldiers dropping like rocks over & over again...
vehicles dropping off of hills at full throttle, gunner in the back at full fire.
this is followed quickly by an explosion of the vehicle - then as the smoke clears you see a rail-gun turret. slowly rotating up and away.

(after a few more such scenes in rapid succession)

(Scene change)
cemetery. slow rain falling. you hear taps in the background.soldiers in funeral dress standing around the caskets. camera slowly rotates in and down in reverse of the turret up and away. reveals two caskets waiting to be lowered, their are picture frames of the same soldiers on top of the caskets.)

( camera slowly moves up to show the same soldiers standing there one says to the other-)

"You know, I just can't seem to get over this part" then both soldiers turn and walk away.

as the cameras pulls up and back, you notice more soldiers standing around ready to lower the caskets. then as the camera passes over their faces, you see that it is the same two soldiers. as the scene fades you notice more soldiers and caskets in a row -each set of caskets is a new set of clones)

alternate ending

(the two soldiers walk to join the ranks of marching soldiers passing and each soldier turns and salutes. as they turn you see that each soldier is the twin to the one beside him)

Quaff! It makes you immortal!

Dust 514: Even CONCORD can't control them

I like those, i may even steal them in the future as a strap line for an article on TM.com.

Being logi-support, would like seeing this gameplay cheered. Something that really supports the teamplay based aspects. Starting with one guy running in the background of a major firefight not shooting a thing, as combat escalates he calls out targets possibly discovered via area scan, around his intended location which assault teams rush through to clear as he moves forward with resupply. As the troopers spread and lay cover he throws down a drop uplink and more troopers spawn to join the fight. While they all press forward he backs off to hack a cannon which fires a barrage that cripples an MCC. As the MCC falls in the background he continues to press forward to revive and drag off a fallen teammate. The fight never ends.

I'm aware that anyone can do this but as I honestly stay out of the firefight only to support I'd like to see some more love.

Will be interesting to see how they handle in-game ads as well.

My only hope in that department is that it isn't suddenly like Battlefield 2142 (the only decent FPS for forever until MAG which was quickly ruined and dumbed down. Putting high hopes on DUST 514 now) where suddenly one day in the post-apocalyptic future there are 10story billboards for Ghost Rider the movie starting Nicholas Cage!
