That could be why people are so put off by the game so far, they are not used to seeing such a raw product. For instance, when I first tested WoW it was the most horrid game I had ever played as far as the gameplay was concerned. That turned into the best selling MMO of all time. I think that having that perspective would help people see that this isn't what they normally get when they get into a Beta, these people are the lucky ones that actually get to make a difference in the actual game.
To the OP, the MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online, yes, you knew that, just making sure someone reading your post does too as well. The Massively will come when the game is released to the general public. To compare a Beta test to a released game is just crazy.
That has nothing to do with it.
Massively Multiplayer is what its all about.
and in the beta, this is missing. the game is smaller scale than MAG, which isnt even considered a MMOFPS at all.
Ever Resistance 2 has larger multiplayer and thats not considered a MMO. Hey even BF3 has larger multiplayer and thats not a MMO at all.
The popularity isnt what I am talking about.
I am talking about the amount of players playing on a single map at a time.
compare Dust's gameplay to Planetside 2. Now PS2 is a real MMOFPS. Notice how it has a game world players can move around in. Not just a bunch of small scale instanced CoD maps, like Dust have.
I dont see the MMO in Dust. Its just a Sci Fi MAG with lesser people per map.
Seeing what they have in beta, I dont see how this will change at all without a total revamp to the game.
this game calls itself a MMO yet it cant handle more than 48 players at a time.
lol. MAG has 64 players per map... Resistance 2 has 64 players per map,,, BF3 has 64 players per map.
non of those are MMO yet they have more larger player cap than Dust.
Dust is only living off the EvE IP. its not a MMO at all it seem. Only a CoD game with EvE IP attached to it.
disappointed.
Maybe the developers CCP should have waited for the PS4 to come out to release this, since it has larger specs, and could likely handle a real deal MMOFPS like Planetside 2, which seems more like what Dust should have been, since its calling itself a MMOFPS.
