um you do know this is a beta right? This is currently so far from the final product it's laughable.

Leave for a month or two, come back. You'll even have earned 3 million sp by then without playing so win/win. No one will blame you for getting tired of testing the watered down battle system that dust is going to use.

You do know this game is intended to play like savage right? Half fps half rts? That's nothing like COD.

LOLZ COD CLONE, you lost credibility after saying that.

i dont recall anything in this game being reminiscent of COD,

you dont unlock a new gun or gear after you have shot a few ppl or capped an objective,

you dont shoot an enemy in the pinky toe with one round and they die,

maps are not the size of a walk in closet,

and the engine isnt the same thing from over a decade ago.


so i fail to see how this comes off as a COD clone in any shape or form.

So, Bye.

Door, swinging gate, blah, blah, blah and your bum.

This had better be VERY far from the final project... Because as it sits, it's more than laughable, it's in the "complete disregard" pile.

I am not exaggerating when I say "the only reason I'm playing now is to grind sp for future builds."
I played through the entire MAG beta, I know how beta games play. During the MAG beta the game's core concepts of being an strategic, team based, objective oriented shooter was clearly present. In DUST it isn't :\

I can't even justify this game anymore... It feels like a CoD clone more and more every day.

Is the plan to have an objective driven fps experience interwoven into an MMO economy and territorial warfare?

Or is DUST trying to skip the 20 kill streak it takes to call in drastically superior fire power and map dominance?


I never liked CoD. I played a LOT of mag, over 3 years worth.

The skirmish objectives are a pointless side obstacle to what is really a larger KDR fest than ambush.


That's all I really have to say anymore :\
I played several games tonight, every single one had 1 team launch an early LAV rush to the other side's first objective, and the KDR fest ensued. It has been dominance from the first minute of the game, and the remaining players simply snipe each other for the duration of the game timer...


Or they leave <_< I've been thrown into several battles where the map is already completely red, and the blue dots are all perched for the cold war snipe off... Something should be done about that... Why does it join me to a game that is over before I can even spawn once?

This game needs a complete overhaul. I'm really surprised this is what they've released with their open beta <_<

I play this game now only to grind sp (one of the most annoying grinds of all games I've played) for a future build where the game CCP has really been working on replaces current dust entirely...

Or maybe I'll just go back to strategy pvp games, and leave the cartoon arcade shooters to the CoD fans.

Seeing how this game is currently, i do have high hopes for it . CCP really need to revamp this game core playstyle. Run and Kill that's all i can see, not just you can kill me and you're good. They need more mission based objectives, matches mode that make people want to play more, make people think their Kills/Deaths ain't important and they can get rewards/achievements when they can succeed in their particular roles. I'm a CoD hater, there's once i bought the game, play it and sold it the next day, but i love the story mode though.

Is this another thread where the OP complains about how bad the game is and how many bugs and lacking features and modes there are, but still continues to play the game everyday anyway, While also ignoring or refusing to acknowledge the fact that he is playing a beta and a lot more is still to come?

Sounds like it.

But what new game can compete with such fantastic new content like retooled supply depos??......sarcasm.
Dust 514 needs a growing userbase and not just a few diehards that will shoot the same few folks over and over.

And then Defiance launches and some of those folks migrate to another shooter.
They then still remember Dust 514 but are happy playing a new game with new content and just decide to re-try the Dust beta sometime later but then other games launch and the gamers again postpone going back in favor of the newer games.

I still have faith in Dust 514 but its been October, November, December, January, Februrary, a good part of March and nothing, nothing and nothing??? of the promised content updates??
