I agree.

I said from the MOMENT this game was announced as PS3 exclusive that it was a huge mistake. Relying as heavily on the EVE affiliation of this game as CCP has will only serve to drive away FPS players. Whether its CoD or Battlefield, FPS players expect a level of equal opportunity. I know because I happen to be one of them. Which DUST 514 DOES NOT HAVE. Dust isn't about having more skill, its about having enough ISK to burn. Having mediocre skill doesn't matter if my corp is capable of throwing endless amounts of ISK to put me in prototype suits or fully outfitted HAV's.

As soon as the CoD and Battlefield players check the game out they'll see how little their individual skill will matter in about 1-2 months of play and go back to their games of origin. Leaving CCP with a game that only expanded their "audience" to the people who already play EVE and happen to own a PS3 also (kinda like the beta)

This is exactly the problem in my opinion. The game is just too complicated for the typical non-EVE console FPS player (learning curve picture anyone?). But oh well, as mentioned a lot of times already I'm afraid that CCP is taking tghe "PS3 exclusive" serious.

Simplify the skills. Planetside 2 has a very similar skill system and it works very well. Its just complex enough to matter, but simple enough that anyone can figure out right where they want to certify their soldier. DUST doesn't have that. Perhaps even make more solidified classes, it would make balancing them all out a LOT easier. 2. Make the game for PC also. I'm not saying ditch the PS3 version, but they need to have a PC version to accompany it or its all going to go to waste IMO. 3. OUTSOURCE. I know from a good friend that plays EVE quite a bit (and is teaching me the ropes :) ) that EVE players HATE it when CCP diverts resources away from EVE. In order to satisfy both players (EVE and Dust players) they need to have another company help them create this game. They clearly do not have the manpower they need for this game. The beta has been going for awhile now and i'm STILL having an immense amount of graphic-related framerate issues, most of them have existed the entire time (i'm guessing a lack of optimization). And especially with CCP's lack of FPS experience, having a second pair of eyes on the design would do a lot of good.
