Splitting the player base based on who's purchased a particular DLC and who hasn't probably isn't a good idea at all. Everyone should always be playing together to keep the queues as short as possible.
Making a game mode that totally excludes vehicles, orbital stuff, installations, and anything that isn't infantry running down corridors or whatever is also probably not a good idea.
I think doing space ship related stuff is fine, but it's maybe a better idea to incorporate really large ships which can actually fit vehicles in them and keep a lot of the same elements at play in typical games. You don't want to make a DLC that only appeals to one section of the player base -- the people who like playing infantry in close quarters. |

And futhermore, how would a tank fit in this? Ok, maybe there could be dropships and other flying vehicles on the outside of space stations, but other than that, no.
You didn't use the word "free" to describe this. The vast majority of DLC is paid-for. What CCP does for EVE is irrelevant. This isn't EVE. If they've said all future stuff is free, great, but I haven't read that.
The whole point is that people who would consider themselves vehicle drivers, or anything but close range infantry players, would derive nothing out of this. What's the point in putting together a big, complex DLC game mode if the majority of players wouldn't even want to play it? Having major content patches be exclusionary to anyone but people running around with an AR/shotgun/mass driver/HMG probably isn't such a sensible way for them to spend their time.

Dust is a console FPS game. EVE is a PC MMORPG. That's about all there is to say about that.
Whether most players are running around with an assault rifle or not is aside from the point that it'd be DLC which offers nothing to people unless they play one particular way. It is a bad idea and would be a wasted effort. DLC should be something everyone is interested in, not just people using an AR/shotgun. |
