I agree overall, as a former BF2, 3 and BC player it takes a different set of skills to play both games, however you will always get people who say X is better then Y and Y is better than Z, personally for me, BF3 is far superior to COD (mainly becuase there is no team play or support aspect to COD) however Dust ticks the boxes of a support role, however I can get my kicks from kills as well from intelligent playing and not just i shot first and didnt encounter lag like COD.
People will love a certain game or item will always vehemently defend a game, its a fact.
Think of it like football (soccer for you wierd americans) I like one team, my father likes another one - i will always say my team is better than his - even though last time they met my team lost. |

games wont always be for everybody That's an absurd and pointless comparison. That was then, this is now. Now, shooters are expected to meet a certain criteria, that is why we have a host of also-rans with empty servers. Brink, Section 8, Crysis 2, MOH. That's just 4 games in the last year or so. There's more. All of those games have more technical polish that Dust currently does. It's not a private club. If you think it doesn't need to make money to survive, you are loopy.
Its a generalisation, personal experience of some people I have encountered. (edit) the expecatation then about the sprites and the expectation of good 3d graphics and physics engine remains the same on a base level.
Section 8 *could* have been awesome, the drop mechanic was fantastic.
I'm not saying Dust doesnt require work, it does - there are a whole list of things that need fixing and implementing etc etc.
I actually wrote in a post that didnt get posted thanks to a forum bug at how bad the beta for Tribes:Ascend was, which has had a big turn around since launch and HiRez just keep going - hopefully this is a path that CCP will follow with Dust |

Some betas are rough, some are very polished. Hawken for instance (in open beta) is very polished at the moment.
I wish CCP would communicate more often. It's so vague as to what the plan is, or where Dust is headed.
Heh, we agree on something then! I had S8 on pre order for weeks, there was nothing more satisfying than dropping and causing havoc, even better dropkilling someone - that was satisfying.
Hawken is very polished indeed, shame it cripples my PC and we all know CCP have never been the best of communicators.
Dust suits a particular crowd, it wont suit every body. |

I did see it and it was a disaster. Thus, the servers are empty. That's my point. CCP are playing a dangerous game here. Open beta or not, FPS are very flaky these days. They jump from game to game quickly and if it doesn't reach expectations, then it's dead.
We shall see, i remember the CoD:WaW beta *shudders*
tbh there is at least a 6 month development period beore release, alot cna change in 6 months we just need to wait and see, i'll probably still be here in that 6 months, this game ticks alot of boxes for me, just wish that more people played as a team :D |
