The game still needs a lot of work. I'm tired of publishers rushing development to hit unrealistic deadlines. If CCP needs this time to make the game great so be it.

Its painfully clear that its not ready for release, or anywhere near it at present. Releasing this year would be a disaster.

This is fantastic news. If it is before Q3 next year I will be shocked.

I expected this but hopefully they'll be implementing more features. Take your time & get it right, ccp.

thanks for the link.

TBH, this changes nothing for me. As long as the game continues to improve and evolve, I am all set playing with old friends and meeting some new ones.

This is actually the best news I have heard from CCP since they stated they were going to readjust the straff speed a bit. Any reasonable gamer should know from playing this game that there are too many issues for them to try to work it out before the end of this year. (Heck I am STILL getting an error for my headset so my mic does not work every time I log on same msg that the connection to voice chat failed. reconnecting.......) I am glad that CCP wants to take the time to do things right. As I have stated if it is done correctly and polished up nicely this game could very possibly be better than even Halo CE (which in my book is the best FPS game period).

Looks like its going to be 2013 afterall, in worst case we are talking about summer 2013, I doubt this playerbase today will stay that long.

Lordjanuz is sad today, need comfort from my wife,,,,

People that complain about "too long to wait' - may not wait, no one holds you.
Beta testers intended to "test" things and not play the game (as an entertainment) or even complain about "they are not going to wait extra 5-8 months because of ... unknown reason. "

Its great news that CCP is not rushing and doing everything correct.
You know, the difference between releasing DUST in lets say February 2013 and August 2013 is major.
The game is either release successfully and net money for CCP, so they continue doing stuff for DUST and EVE, or either its fail, bugged and unplayable, so CCP get bankrupt and we never gona see more EVE addons & DUST updates.

Personally, id rather wait extra 8 months and enjoy my "beta testing" rather than sit and wait for ... something.
Just my 2 cents.

Yea since the game have been worked on for about 3-4 years so what does another year mean, let me tell you. When CCP stands on events , in interviews and publications says diffrent its not ok. Wy dont tell us we need another year and its ok, its all in how you do it and how you get that information out to playerbase.

I am not here to quit or rage, I am just a little disappointed, will of course play it tonight becouse the game is damn adictive

My point is, let they release everything they planned and we'l have a revolution.
Hurry them up and we'l get another BF/Halo clone.
Therese plenty of stuff to do meanwhile, Beta right now is quite ok for "fun play" and to learn game itself, so when its released - you are prepared with knowledge :)

Halo 4 gonna blow out halo ce next Tuesday

I'm glad they said there's a bit of a difference between there beta and other betas. Other betas really were like a demo compared to this one.

I doubt this player base today will stay that long.

where will we go?
Starhawk didn't interest me really, i'm not a fan of 3PS (third person shooter)
BF3... EA published it... then turned around and copied a "member" thing charging $60 USD for, lost me
Halo? who the f pays to play games? i'll never own a xBox cause its the dumbest idea ever.. you want me to pay M$ so i can watch my netflix i already pay for over the internet i already pay for? no thanks.
MAG is dead...
UnCharted series are great, i'll never play their MP, too boring and stale
COD? i'll never play any of them, such lame games

Dust is the only thing i play and its only a beta, i treat it like it is a game, because it is my game, the game i will be devoted to. nothing else out there can best it.

i do like The Last of Us though, but its not MP so Dust doesn't have to worry.

Dust is my home, i'm not leaving, and a few months back i was telling people a Spring 2013 release sounds right to me. i still stand by this, so if this is the case, i'm pleased and not set back at all.

The game still needs a lot of work. I'm tired of publishers rushing development to hit unrealistic deadlines. If CCP needs this time to make the game great so be it.

And why is this NOT good news? This is what it needs.

this playerbase wont sorry to say it.
not unless the game gets bat **** amazing next couple builds

When you thonk about this game will never be finished also isn't EVE online still in beta(I could be wrong).

hehe, if by beta you mean a continually evolving and growing universe.. then yes, Eve is in beta :)

This is why alot of us eve players like to say it is still stuck in Beta, not by meaning it plays crappy like a beta

How can you make this statement, while at the same time in this thread the CURRENT playerbase players are saying they are good with the wait.. lol.. or atleast the sensible ones

PS: has CCP publicly confirmed this with a blog post or thread announcement?

Great news actually, full devotion to Planetside 2 for at least 12 months.....

Games been in Dev for 3+ years there is nothing unrealistic about the deadline. I said it once and I'll say it again Dust 514 should either be pushed back till next gen or go to PC. PS4 will more than be able to handle it with the specs that it has.

While I think that more time to test is a good thing,I think that everyone is missing something very important that was said...

"We want to make it as accessible as Call of Duty and Battlefield."

Personally,I think that this is very bad news as far as future development of the game.That statement sounds like they are planning to dumb it down,and make it more noob friendly.

Here's hoping that its just PR fluff. The whole concept of the game is diametrically opposite to being 'easily accessible'. If it was quick and easy to pickup it wouldn't be complex etc.
Though tbh, even EVE (widely considered complex) isn't really that hard. A day or so and the basic concepts are quite simple, though there are always tips and tricks that help regardless of how long you play.

I'm not surprised. Development for the game has been very slow, and we've been plagued by some totally unacceptable bugs across multiple builds now. The frame rate, the hit detection, these are the kinds of things you simply cannot have in a modern console FPS that you expect people to play competitively.



They were interviewed by a legitimate website and said it to them. If it were not correct, that's when they'd publicly say that it isn't correct. As it stand, there is no reason to doubt that this game won't be open beta till sometime 2013 and probably released in the spring or summer.

""We want to make it as accessible as Call of Duty and Battlefield.""

oh... well there ya go.

thanks for being honest about it so it didn't turn out to be a bigger waste of time then already has been wasted.
at least for me.
that's a deal breaker. you guys are turning 180 degrees from what you said a long while back.
but like i said, at least you are being up front about it.


good luck with your game!

Peace

Does this mean we will get to test mechs and the gladiator mode they said would be next year?

They told us it would release mid-2013 months ago.

I never saw that anywhere.Post a link,or it never happened.

I said this on anther thread but what exactly CCP will do during these extra months?
Will they finally listen to FPS players or what?

Now ccp has the time to transform dust 514 from a virtual unplayable abomination of a game to something that will be at least mediocre, maybe even somewhat respectable.

There is a difference between making a game accessible and making a wannabe battlefield/call of duty game. Eve Online is quite accessible in many ways but you have to know where to look. There are players in Eve who have created characters and somehow managed to achieve earning billions of ISK a month through market trading alone inside just a single month or two. Then there are the players who focused everything in learning all about missions or piracy in a single month and are now making mad ISK through mission loot or from ransoming other players.

I hope this is what CCP meant by accessible. Allow players ample opportunities to prosper quickly but they must work for it and know where to look.

I'm not gonna chase links down for you, but one of the devs mentioned it in passing in a thread quite awhile back.

O your shocked that CCP which took over 4 yrs to make a beta of this game would take more then a yr to go live ???

You must be new here !

I might have been around for a wile, dosent matter, go bother some else with comments like that... off you go.
