You forgot the most important part of the argument: Aesthetics of Play based on the Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics of Game Design dissertation by Robin Hunicke, Marc LeBlanc, and Robert Zubek.

lol @ thinking dust514 is an mmo , its set in the universe of an mmo but that doesnt make it an mmo

its just an FPS with matches 16 vs 16

Riiiigh, so those 31 other people you're playing with and against are just bots that you have no social interaction with?

LMFAO

MMO:
(video games) A massively multiplayer online game. A computer game in which a large number of players can simultaneously interact in a persistent world or can potentially play against a large number of players in matchmaking.
(colloquial) A massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

And to answer your other question, I've been playing MMOs since Ultima Online, back when you had to pay by the KB for internet access. Take your internet tough guy act and shove it.

A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet. Many games have at least one persistent world, however others just have large numbers of players competing at once in one form or another without any lasting effect to the world at all.

so when someone doesnt agree with you and is proving you WRONG is trolling?

srsly?

thats your comeback?

oh well not like there is a comeback to that anyway

Obviously not, but Dust is not an MMO, since this would make BF3 and MW3 or Borderlands2 also an MMO, as long as the core game mechanic are 3 simple gamemodes, played on static maps.
One of the main feature associated with an MMO is a huge persistant world, where u can freely travel around. In this regard Dust fails miserably, since all i see are a couple of maps and gamemodes and even the "preparation" room is a generic tiny lobby, without any actual meaning. DUST even fails at the most basic level for an MMO, which is character creation and diversification. Its the same crappy "u are an anonymous Suit" than in Planetside2 or Halo.

In this regard even Borderlands2 is more of an MMO than DUST. Dust atm is basically World of Tanks in space, without gold ammo and a working matchmaking system. U have gamemodes + a few static maps and can pimp your toon, while there is some "secret" meta map game going on, most players don't care about or have no access to.

See? That's where you're wrong, this isn't about who has the best quips and one liners. It's about having a coherent articulate discussion on a subject. Since you obviously can't do so, let alone use proper punctuation while writing in some kind of lethargic haiku format, I'd rather not waste my time.[

And instead of a good discussion about the common element of the genres, and the excellent video references about the esthetics and the cultural differences on the guns and their use, we get a shitstorm of people arguing about the user level that makes an MMO.

Thanks for the initial posting folks, it-¦s becoming harder and harder to try to play chess with pidgeons.

I fall asleep and this thread reverts to FPS vs MMO like cats and dogs. lol

IMO. DUST is a poorly executed FPSMMO (very poorly executed FPSMMO)

That's trying very hard to incorporate mmo elements, and thus become MMO first and FPS second.

But did I just say that dust is FPS? Yup. cause that is in heart of what was made first. rather other way. So it's like a genetic hybrid gone wrong, still trying to be what it was imprinted to be.


Anyway, vid was suppose to show some one who never really cared about MMO, why others find MMO games cool.
as thus the FPS video was to show why those that never touched a fps game before this why people love FPS games.


Result? despite what video may show, like cat walking into the path of a dog. sometimes the fur just flies up huh?

FPS game. which incorporates mmo element. FPSMMO.

Tho its to go now othwerway.

Anyway any one remembers what the name MAG stood for? Thats the bonus question!

Self.. tell them what they could win!

*weelllll, Today for participating every contest wins a lifetime supply of caldari cereal bars! might give constipation*

Hahaha. Well isn't that awesome?

you guys don't want an mmo

you want call of duty with shields.


that what this game has become.
anything outside of call of duty just doesn't work with the console community.

if it did, this game wouldn't be so bad.
as it is now... it's just a clunky meh at best.

Peace

ps
mmo = sandbox

playstation home is more of an mmo then 514
