I like how everyone on these forums are always so POSITIVE.

Are you saying all console players are too stupid to have any patience at all to wait 6 measly months? Don't insult our intelligence. Not all console players are like that.

This is a MAJOR foundation laying build that needed time to be organized and set up. And its not like they've done nothing these past few months. They've done dozens of patches, and changed/ tweaked things as far as gameplay goes and what not. An example of what happens when you try to rush things out would be the sound update they did a month or two back. That update was cool for the first two minutes of every game before my audio would start to explode and die.

Now ill admit that this scenario does not challenge the first part of your argument (the one relating to people getting bored), but I like to think that things will be alright in that respect. CCP hasn't even begun what I consider an advertisement campaign. Yes there are thing here and there but really the game is still in beta and so I question why there trying to get people into it at all right now. Will see though, will see.

I'd even say a player can play both Dust and BF3 concurrently. IMO, BF3 is pick up and play. No real time investment needed. No long term consequences. Dust makes you want to invest time, SP, isk/money. You play in part for the FPS experience but more so for the persistent consequences and changes to the Dust world.

That said, I do agree that if there's going to be an update every 6months... it better have more content. The addition of new gear is nice, but there should have been at least 4 new maps brought to the table.

... so you want this game to be more like COD, and neglect to realize there ARE no static maps, only procedurally generated maps?

Comparing CCP to BF3 and COD, lowest intelligence level EVER.

I can wait a WHOLE STINKING YEAR for a add-on pack, update, or a new game, you are just being 'Impatient'.

i'll just state again what i said in another post.

Debate about content updates and the rate to which they're done is irrelevant as long as CCP still needs to work on the core of the game aka physics, engine, graphics, stability etc..

Dust is obviously behind schedule and content update is mixed with technical fix and improvements that obviously lower the involvment in the content part.

Also, we're talking about a developper that has no experience on PS3 in the first place. Yes they hired people who have that experience but it's still very different than a dedicated studio who has a whole team and process use to those tool. And it's even worse with PS3 and its freakin architecture that even best devs took years to master.

But then i take a step back and try to see every part of this as a whole and it makes more sense then. Sometimes i just dont manage to do it and i rant all day.

No. There are enough games which cater to the lowest common denominator, and try to make everyone happy - and ending up being meh for everyone.

I'd rather play a deep, demanding planetary conquest gameplay, than get back to the abortion of a game BF3 was. It took everything BF2 did well, dumbed it down, and added flashy graphics.

Figures that an imp would start such a thread.
