^ These fine examples above are what I am talking about.

Playing the game beyond the rules established, playing the game more than the game intended.

Fitting balance numbers are considered part of the game as they all wind up effecting numbers on the field when it comes to shooting each other.

Getting people to back stab your supposed best friend, causing immeasurable damage well beyond DPS numbers an AR can put out in a million life times. Deleting your corp or booting the CEO out in a hostile take over and getting it pitted into a war it cannot win nor stop.

Watching your little empire crumble because you trusted the wrong guy.

Then getting your revenge....

This is meta-gaming. You are all playing it and those most unaware of it are pawns on the board.

Kitten Meta gaming. If CCP wants to have meta gaming in a FPS they can say goodbye to Dust. FPS don't like meta gaming. They like shooting people in the face. Dust reviews across the board have been subpar.

Only if you know what corporation I belong too can you destroy it.

There's an MMO called EVE Online. Perhaps you've heard of it? By many accounts it is a terrible game. It's PVE is predictable, and unengaging to the point that automation is seen in some cases as a requirement. It's PVP consists of hours of intense boredom punctuated by moments of extreme excitement. And yet, in spite of this, it has persevered. In fact, it has flourished because of one of the strongest player driven meta-games and player driven narratives on the market. If that doesn't interest you then you best get out, because I'd rather see dust burn than turn into another run of the mill sub-par call of duty clone.

I need people like you around - how else am I going to farm like by being awesome in comparison? :D

I play Eve. Thank you very much!

CCP said this game is newbie friendly. How can something that has this extensive meta gaming be newbie friendly? BS. The ratings say it all. Horribad reviews.

Eve has an extensive meta game and is completely newbie friendly. I even made a guide. https://dpwf7uc3ns479.cloudfront.net/newbie-guide-final-2013.pdf

Also I've been doing nothing but making this game Newbie friendly for the roughly 300 neck beards under my care who've joined in the last two weeks. Hard to get much newer than that, we have to teach them which end of the rifle shoots try hard MAG burnouts.

Mind if I barrow? This is another example of meta gaming.

We released it publicly for the good of the community so go right ahead.

Thank you for your work and dedication.

I don't see any reason for people in FPS mode to give a rats arse whether there is meta gaming going on... it doesn't show up unless they go looking for it.

Man...I am inclined to agree with you. I can understand if players abuse mechanics in the game to do certain things but when the devs deliberately create mechanics for that sole purpose......then I have a problem with it. Especially, when the gameplay and other things needs more attention than thinking of ways to allow people to infiltrate and spy on each other.

So, +1 to you.....I'd rather read or participate in threads where two players or two corps are going at each other (feeling that one is better than the other) as opposed to reading about leaked meetings and teamkilling and other Richard Simmons sort of ****. I want to see rivalries brewing instead of all of this backwall non-aggression pacts. I mean, a few friends here and there is ok but when everyone is trying to get along then fights will be against the same corps and will get dull.

Corps should shy away from attacking another corp because they are afraid of retaliation rather than not attacking because of agreements.

Usually what happens is that it finds you instead though.

What if Mr. Smith hired you on the grounds that your squad is like the best ever, it has never lost in any contract it has been assigned. You agreed to what seems to be reasonable terms which came with collateral in case you fail Mr. Smith would be compensated a bit. The way would recover the collatoral and additional pay out at the success of the defense contract. Mr. Smith promised back up support from both Eve and Dust players.

You and your squad join the match and something seems off. Mr Smith boys charge each other to the center of the field but not to shoot each other. Instead they turn around and they all point their guns at your squad. Friendly eve online ships start appearing overhead and instead of targeting the enemies they are targeting your squad.

Your collateral held hostage for failure or abandonment and vastly outnumbered you may find yourself heavily screwed out of this deal if you don't turn it around but that is impossible without needing back up on your own and it seems that Mr. Smith is hell bent on breaking your pristine record.

That's what the forums are for. It will let out the QQing and they can ask CCP to institute new rules... and then eventually get over their loss (or maybe decide to get even).
