Can you back these claims up with any evidence at all?

Let me help here.

Rumor has it that the new project titan from blizzard is an MMOFPS set to compete against either planetside 2. Since the popularity of blizzard games is extensively massive and that blizzard does have 10 years of mmo building in their belt they can release a rather comprehensiveness MMO FPS game capable of killing off planetside 2 entirely.

Planetside 2 has a 6 month road map full of features that would make just about any fps shooter mad and red and heck since the core issue with that game is 'why win, ergo why play?' is not being addressed at all. Instead we are seeing a large number of whines being addressed by players unwilling to adapt and a generic increase of laziness as they introduce new guns and vehicles that are the same across the three factions and are not even considering half of the goals Dust 514 is going twoards. All in all a new vehicle, a new pistol and smg and launcher, few cannons for the sunder and one continent and making it harder to lose.

Meanwhile Call of Duty is making another iteration back to ww2 it seems with a new studio in charge, they have yet to release a cod title as the main developer, many feel they would just rip the mordern warfare 3 engine again and do what tryarch does. Copy and paint over. While offering no new game breaking strides that makes it stand out as a real sequel. The last such iteration was the progressive system in cod 4. Its expected that mw2 servers will be shut down by then.

Battlefield Bad Company 3 is scheduled to be out soon and by gawd its the worst idea once again and its expected the multiplier would be a slightly spruced up version of BF3s current. Also Battlefield 4 is currently in the works now and it may most likely get delayed to shift over to the new console. Battlefield's new plan is to release a new title every year to compete with the likes of Call of Duty.

Fallout 4 (RPGshooter) is going back to Washington waste lands however it may not be out this year.

As for other shooters... on any platform there is nothing that's going to make them big in 2014. Halo wars 2 is said to be out in 2014 to meet microsoft's annual title goal. As well as possible season 2 of spartan ops for halo 4 to keep the fans happy. Halo 5 may not be out until 2016.

Matter of factually most titles mentioned above will get drowned out by thier newer versions in 2014 and 2015 subsequently so who gives a damn? I mean look at the original MMOFPSers for PC. Huxley, Planetside 1, and Global Agenda are all getting or has a sequel which usually indicates a royal screw up somewhere and that some sequel is going to fix it.

Aighun Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 666	Posted - 2013.01.28 22:51:00 - [1] - Quote I find it difficult to believe that the OP has no sense of the history of DUST, or is unaware of the contentious nature of their question. Can the OP really be that privileged, spoiled, unaware, or helpless? I can't quite believe they are asking in good faith, since anyone with an internet connection can figure this out for themselves or can at least get the gist of the history of DUST 514 becoming a PS 3 exclusive. And any reasonable post pubescent person doesn't need to be given a personally delivered answer on these forums like a little child always asking"Why? Why? Why no PC?" Or has my patience just grown so thin over the last few months having encountered the "CCP fail so hard worst decision since Moses not put DUST on PC fail!" campaign that I am reacting to my own prejudice and bias and not giving the OP the chance they deserve? Perhaps their question was well intentioned after all, and if I have jumped to conclusions and misjudged your intent, please accept my heartfelt apologies. In any event, please take a moment to view the following video, wherein CCP provide as direct an answer as you are going to get: http://www.gamespot.com/dust-514/videos/dust-514-ps3-exclusivity-and-hardcore-level-interview-6397024/ And with about 900,000 new characters created for DUST 514 so far, I am really looking forward to the perhaps unique on this planet culture that CCPs decision to only release DUST 514 on PS 3 will bring about. Will this shotgun marriage prove to be a happy one, will it end in tears, or some wonderful combination of the two? In conclusion, I have never seen a valid or even plausible argument that shows DUST 514 would have an even slightly better chance of success on PC than PS 3. But I have seen some evidence that (from the initial spark, which I am assuming must have been a sort of epiphany that occurred almost a half a decade ago, and must have gone something like "I know! Let's make a console game!" madness, utter madness, to this very day) DUST 514 has its best shot at fulfilling its massive potential right here on the Playstation. But that is something of a side argument, and strays somewhat from the ontological thrust of this thread's original intent.

No empirical evidence that anyone at CCP desired to commit self mutilation by aiming a firearm at their phalanges and pulling a trigger... No evidence that they sought to do this in order to create an opening in that portion of the anatomy rather than a bloody mangled stump, or any other sort of injury that could result from a such an act. No evidence that DUST is dead. Or that it will be replaced. But some evidence that there is a lot of competition in the FPS and shooter market in general, especially on PC. And the implication that DUST will never have a sequel, unlike many of the other titles, and is thus a lot less likely to be directly replaced. Not sure if you were playing a sort of double devil's advocate and arguing in favor of the naysayer's assertions by offering a picture that when seen from a certain perspective shows those assertions to be baseless, or, maybe just grabbed the wrong part of the thread in your quote?
