FAO: All those concerned.
MAG has been going for over 3 years now, 1000 players during the day, 800 at night when Domination is not running (from my last time playing).
DUST will be fine with ~5000 players, my reaction was ''wow, that's a decent amount'', why? Because I don't look up when thinking comparatively, why compare DUST to CoD?
So, looking down when thinking comparatively, DUST has a LOT more players than MAG therefore both games will continue to be played years later.
I understand the concern, we need lots of players and corps to keep this game alive but really I don't see it as too much of a problem IF DUST is to obtain ADDICTIVE game modes! MAG is so addictive, people have put over 5000 hours into it and I used to play up to 12 hours a day.
Make a few addictive game modes with progressive play which splits up the battle into different sections of the map (will work well when 32v32 on maps which are big but not AS open). Honestly vehicles would probably ruin this unless only used when defending a main objective/fortress/camp etc.
The feeling you got in MAG where your whole team co-operated inharmoniously and you FINALLY got the bunker down was satisfying as all hell. I won't explain the whole game but DUST needs that, not randomly running around a map.
Make DUST more squad based, with progressive objective play integrated into new game modes and the game will thrive due to the social and co-operative aspects and the joy which comes with it.
There, a serious post. Although I'm not playing right now I'm sure DUST will survive, look at how many pages of threads are commented on every day, there's enough people playing, let's see where the journey takes us.

Still technically a beta and being released on a console that's about to be replaced in 7 months or so...
If I were them, I'd work on making the game look incredible and run much more smoothly on the PS4 and then market it as such. |

Plus EVE had 5,000 users at one point as well and grew and I think DUST can probably do similar.

I didn't want to make a huge post but yes there is a little thing called Planetside 2 being a launch title for the PS4.... |
