MAG kept peoples interest for about 6 months before a good majority went right back to the games they can trust to deliver every time.

If there is to be no MAG2, and MAG doesn't have 50-100 thousand online right now, then MAG is a replay value failure.

At the same time, how original can a company be when it comes to creating a new game mode? Just about everything that anybody can come up with will be a variation of something that has been done by a FPS already. If CCP comes up with something original, then that's awesome.

That's why I think the success of DUST will rely entirely on how involved EVERYONE can be in PC and to what extent. If people are expected to 'swallow their pride' and join a bigger corp after they have invested time/money/etc. into the corp that they have been building, then most of them will likely 'swallow their pride' and go play a better game.

You just said it buddy. On PC.. The FPS central force. (Albeit it has slow down since consoles went full FPS) Compared to The myriad of FPS on the PC, it actually looks worse then on console. I see dust retaining or gathering more mmorpg crowd then the fps folks.

Ideally, I'd hope to eventually see retools of all three core game modes from MAG but we've got to start somewhere.

For the Love of All that you hold Sacred CCP, please, please do not restrict thinking game modes (i.e. Acquisition, Domination and Sabotage from MAG) to PC. Include these in FW as well as giving the option to play pub versions of them. If we are to get retools of the MAG game modes, please just give us topography and allow the defenders to place their installations the way that they choose to. Likewise for the attackers, allow them to decide where their initial spawn locations are along the perimeter of the map.
