So half of the American army plus Half of england army can choose sides with the Russian Army to fight against the American p army and the half of Russia's Army. Doesn't make any sense right? Well, thats how Dust 514 is.

@cy6: To the OP, I would agree with you but it prevents one thing. With that you would be locked into a certain race.

CCP wants this to be a sandbox game. More than that, it's a game that offers flexibility. What if one day you choose that the race you chose (assuming based on your profile) that you hated the Amarr and their evil ways of enslaving the Minmatar and decide to join a freedom faction that fights for Minmatar? Under your system, you can't do that and would have to re-roll a character that was Minmatar. With the current system, you can simply switch over to using Minmatar suits, guns and equipment with no trouble and even carry your dark past with you.

And trust me, there are some EVE players (and Dust players too) who are loyalists. In fact we had an EVE player not too long ago complaining that mercenaries from his alliance were fighting for the opposing team. Which we "gently" reminded him to HTFU and if you want your alliance to be loyal, force your mercs to fight for one side and if they defect, kick them from the alliance.

And right now, it's just Empire factions. Wait until we start striding into null sec...

Individuality. You've heard of right??? It means you make your own choices and decisions with the consequences that follow. Or do you have someone that tells you how and what to think, feel, eat and wear everyday?

i would like to see racial bonuses apply to only that race. For example if i was Caldari but wear Gallente suit, i DO NOT get the Assault or Logi bonus, but if i were Gallente and wore Gallente suits i DO get the bonus. This way, race sctually means something while having the option of investing into other racial suits if they want their slot lineup/cpu/pg/base stats.

Racial bonuses on dropsuit has nothing to do with your racial DNA, it depends on skills you learn & use. For example - you could born as Caldari (you like caldari type, face) but deep in your soul you may hate entire your race... and love Gallente ideology, life style, technology.

LOL'd pretty hard. Can i use this?

You have role play story for your character don't you?

That guy was saying it's realistic when something like this isn't even happening. Ok, so theres ONE army wearing Russian,American and England uniforms, fighting against their own Country's thats setup the same way.

You seem to be mistaking this for a normal FPS when the idea behind it is RPG in the character selection area. On those you pick a side and you're stuck with it till the next match. No real thought involved beyond a click and then shoot the other side. You're welcome to play it that way if you wish. I'm just dropping a hint as to that's not how CCP thinks. Sure, some of the FPS may have added RPG leveling like attributes over the years. But, at their core is still the old select a guy and shoot the other side. There is no role playing mechanics involved in them beyond kill person in other uniform, gain points to level that particular class. There is no thought to making that chracter a person because you're using those pixels for 20 minutes tops and then switching. RPGs are different since the general idea behind them has been creating the ideal of another person.
