Noobs will be able to start out in high-sec and play in a protective environment (low loss low gain) or a more hardcore environment in losec or 0.0 (high risk high gain). (these matches will be contracted by Eve alliances... and the outcome will determine ownership of planet and systems etc).

Better at least. It doesn't need to be Battlefield either. It needs to be Dust. Yeah, it would be great if all those things were here now, but they aren't, things don't always go to plan, you gotta get over it. You do realize also, by the time this game is re-made, especially if you want all those features in it the moment it comes out, it's very possible CCP could have already implemented them... Give them time. If you don't feel like waiting.... Quit, come back in a year or two to a hopefully great game and tons of SP to spend.

I used to believe this is what dust was going to be similar to... This, as I was playing skirmish 1.0 hyping this game to friends now it just feels like an expensive CoD clone with college frat boys behind the wheel....

I disagree (but in all fairness I've never played CoD). To me it feels just like what it is: a game that was made by people who have never made an FPS, and who think they can slowly do what they slowly did with their first game, and 10 years later people will still be playing it.

The only reason EVE worked is because it's literally the only MMO space ship game to go to. It's on PC - PC gamers have way more patience.

Dust is on console - console gamers have way less patience. It is also FAR from the only space type FPS to play. PS2 is going to be serious competition for this game. I seriously doubt Dust will have things in competitive gear when the PS4 comes out with it's entire slew of games.

Agreed with everything except #2. The losing side only gains ISK paid by the EVE corporation for the invasion costs, salvage, etc. and also SP. The winning side gains EVE corp salary for invasion, salvage, etc. + the planet's resources converted to ISK and other bonuses. So the losing side affects more the EVE corp because it always has to pay its mercs win or lose.

There are a few DICE members working on Dust, so yes, they do know how to make one. Do you ever read the EvE forums? 10 years ago, last year, and even today you will find Doomsayers posts like yours saying the game is dying. It's not. And it won't. Dust has no competition, Dust will find it's niche like EvE did. Dust isn't meant to compete with Battlefield or COD. What COD player would enjoy this game? Not many. It's different and it isn't supposed to be going against them.


Planetside 2 is decent at best. They've actually banned players for showing game breaking bugs. Look it up. They ignore their community and there are several bugs that are not fixed, even though they're old. PS2 can be fun, but it's average and not as deep as Dust can be.

This will be a call-of-duty-in-new-eden

All possible credibility you could have was lost immediately, right there.

No game is like EvE or Dust. CCP isn't loaded with employees either. You try making a game like EvE, or better. CCP sure has great ideas, and slowly, but surely they implement them. Better than Call of Duty, which is obviously loaded with unique ideas and innovation. I mean in the new Call of Duty, you get a gun for DLC, that's freaking top of the line innovation there, that's huge, it's never been done before, it's mind blowing, that's what it is. No game is different, in a world full of games that are similar to the past 10 games made in the same series loaded with pointless DLC that usually rips of the consumer, I'm not going to hate on CCP....
