Here's the thing. Compared the the developers of said CoD and BF3, CCP is a pretty small company. This means a few things.
First, CCP probably can't develop content as fast as those big companies.
Second, CCP doesn't need as many customers as those big companies.
Third, every time there is an update to Dust, Dust will be the new shiny, so people will check it out, if even for a little while. So long as actual progress is being made, this will likely be enough to maintain a modest but growing playerbase - much like Eve. |

The last time DUST was "new and shiny" was back during the october update.
And it will be again, on May 6th. I'm not saying it'll be awesome (I don't know), but it will be new and shiny - at least for a little while. |

I could deal with the current weapons, vehicles, and even imbalances if we had more than two things to do and six places to them. Think about it. All uprising is adding is one game mode (if you can call it that) that not everyone can play, two weapons, some revamped skills, some weapon tweeks and some new maps( I think). Now thats all well and good, but there's still next to nothing to do. You still have play the same boring and often broken game modes hours on end to get ahead.
Well, in their defense, they are also adding PC, and with it the ability to build planetary structures. I think, though I may be wrong, rudimentary player trading is coming as well.
I also think it would be nice to get more content, but will I continue to play based on what's announced? yeah.
Keep in mind also, it takes a lot longer, typically, to build the foundations of whole new mechanics (PC, trading, PVE) then it does to iterate on them. |
