Wow "fanboy." it's like we are playing games with words. Back when dust was in beta "people who liked dust" im not gonna say fanboy, they kept on saying "it's in beta, its gonna be better when the full game hit." And now the haters use "fanboys" to anyone who like and believe the game is gonna succede? Ok thats your opinion then. But im not a fanboy at all, i hate for what ccp did with uprising, but at the same time there was a lot of good things that came out of it. Anyways who doesnt make mistakes? I hate to say this but "give them time" they are new to the fps thing. They are a small company compared to dice. I know i will not be playing dust everday ones bf4 comes out but, ccp can do this. "they got lucky on EvE." So what if they got lucky they got through it and now have experince in it. Socom died cuz of COD! The developers tried to make "everyone happy" but the "fanboys" of socom just didn't have socom they had 3rd person view of cod. CCP said this before "There game is not for everyone."

Ccp got EXTREMELY lucky with EVE. they were trying to get people to play what really amounts to an online spreadsheet. the fact that people were patient enough to allow EVE to flourish is absolutely mind boggling. People like that do not exist on console. And if they do, they are few and far between. Dust is going to die, and i'll tell you exactly how. The first major hit to dust will be GTA V. that game is expected to be the best game of this generation, Whether that's true or not, pretty much everyone who plays video games is going to buy it. After that, if people still actually play dust, the ps4 will cut the population down even further. a lot of people are tired of the current console generation, and an upgrade is needed as far as some are concerned. I, for one, am trading in y ps3 the day it comes out. What will be left over is a few hundred xiehard fans of CCP, probably less than the amount of current MAG players, and that will slowly start to wear down, until eventually the game joins SOCOM in the entertainment graveyard. The sad thing about it is the next tine someone wants to do something similar to dust, their boss will just show them an article about how dust took eve down with it and say "is that what you want to happen to you?" And don't even try to convince yourself that the whole "your actions matter" thing appeals to anyone that isn't already here or playing EVE. Besides, that hasn't even been properly implemented. I've fought at least a thousand instant battles, and not one of them has impacted eve in any way. And PC is worthless; people are actually TRYING to lose districts because its such a chore to maintain them.

I honestly couldn't care less how new they are to the fps genre. if you were just learning how to speak english, would try to write the longest novel in the world? No. You would start off with your ABCs and slowly work up from there. What CCP should have done was taken the time to actually learn how to make an FPS instead of going straight into the development of something that even the best devs in the world couldn't dream of.. Many of the conventions in modern shooters are in place to solve problems that would occur without them. Instead, they decided that since they basically improvised with EVE, they would be able to do the same thing with dust. Its like trying to shoot the moon with a paintball gun. There is such a thing as too much ambition. And by the way, CCP did the exact same thing that zipper did with SOCOM. Back in replication, they had a nicer rock paper scissors element going on with the suits, and prototype gear was worth the investment. But no. There were too many complaints about how ARs weren't gods like they are in CoD. (By the way, Black Ops 2 moved away from the one best weapon model. now the only thing that dictates how well you do with a particular weapon is your playstyle. And lag.) Even though about 75% of the forums were about bad controls, they listened to the "i got killed by this thingy so its OP" forums. Why? because its easier to nerf something than improve core mechanics. PS: Zipper went out of business for the same thing CCP has been doing since beta. why does CCP deserve better than Zipper?
