Again, what game have you developed on the UE3? Spouting your hopes and dreams while in school doesn't give credibility to your boast. |

1 - I never brought up my experience in game development as a basis to imply my opinion has more bearing than yours, as i have no desire to bring up pointless information.
2 - Until you work for CCP on Dust 514, you would have no idea on how easy/hard it is to develop Dust on the UE3. |

Sorry man. That isn't how development/programming works. Code doesn't get "buried" unless you have straight up "spaghetti code" and that is seriously not good. But it would certainly explain the nose dive in QA we are suffering. It also would explain the horrible lag and the sheer dearth of bugs that plague this game.

better optimization for compiler, loops and machine codes and also improved branch code but not that I know anything about source code optimization . |

Then why are you so confident about the fact you stated before?
Duran Lex wrote: Switching to the engine CCP themselves created will cause ZERO problems
Even if it does not cause "problems", it sure will cause a hell of a lot of extra work. And I would assume that currently developer time is in very short supply at the Shanghai Office. Which probably won't change until CCP is able to pump more money into Dust and can hire more people for the game's development. |

How long do they think people will grind every week to the same 3 gamemodes?
Do something to make this game different, less of the same old boring and more fun again. Adding new heavy suits, that will only be used for camping, not going to make this game any better. At best it's a sideways move.
And this is one of the reasons why the player count has dipped under 5k within the last few weeks.People are tired of playing a broken game,and they are really tired to playing a broken game with the same game modes on the same maps.At least if there were more variety it would be a little easier to stomach this games shortcomings.

Allah's Snackbar wrote:You have to wonder how software would be architected in such a way these days. "Buried code". Sounds like "code" for we destroyed it to get other stuff done.
Because during development you deprecate stuff, then you remove that stuff, or change the APIs/ABIs and break compatibility, change how things work internally, modify previous assumptions etc. Your old, deprecated stuff will then have collisions with the new stuff and it's not like it can just be enabled at compile time to work, it would have to be re-developed to work with current internals. This is probably why we wont get "skirmish 1.0" but will get "skirmish 3.0" instead.
This does not happen in things like JVM or Linux kernel, where developers will do crazy **** to not break users' programs. But for stuff only used internally? If you aggressively iterate version by version and have no external parties relying on your internal code being stable there is no need for keeping every internal part backwards compatible that long (it's been few builds, some completely altering how the game looks and acts). Especially features that were commissioned out.
tl;dr Developing software is not as straightforward as it seems. |

This definitely sounds like a blast. It adds more risk to dying too being that you need to wait. |

No it's best to introduce new gamemodes instead of introducing garbage new dropsuits, or even good ones at this point. |

They put in new content 90% of which is garbage. I would trade all the new content for a few new gamemodes. The only new content I even like is the new armor mods, and kicking people from PC. |

However Skirmish 3.0 will feature 'staging' where battles can go mobile over larger areas is still being designed and it will peacefully co-exist with 2.0. Translation: we were lied to? There is no such thing as "buried source code" . A real new map can enable skirmish 1.0 . Sighs and looks at PS4 preorder and decides it no longer matters what is promised. If the PS4 is capable of running CCP's Carbon Engine, which I believe it is, that will help a great deal on the programming side for Dust. Likely most major updates such as additional game modes and more EVE integration are likely not to happen until Dust is up and running with Carbon on the PS4. Yeah but i read somewhere that the 2011 trailer was made on unreal. so Dust shouldnt really be pushing the engine now. |

As truly boring as this game is I would indeed rather them fix how my gun shoots rather than adding Skirmish 1.0 back in.. Althought I would love Skirmish 1.0, making my gun hit targets in a predicable fashion or making sure I can cross terrain without hitting a pinch point that kills me, or getting blocked by an invisible wall.
I want more content but as long as the game is fundamentally broken at the core, what good does it do?
Guns with reticles that are more than just square, poorly colored pixels Terrible Hit Detection lag freezes glitchy movement and terrain mapping
This game desperately needs new content that is worth something and not just the next AUR version of the some old tired gun but the core needs to get fixed first otherwise none of it matters. |

So what your staying is... fanboys can bring it back to life if dust dies? |
