Here. Maybe this will help.

A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multi-player video game which supports large numbers of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played over the Internet. Many games have at least one persistent world.

MMOGs can enable players to cooperate and compete with each other on a large scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. They include a variety of game play types, representing many video game genres.

This describes Dust.

After thought: After a little research, I've reached a conclusion that CoD type games are MMOs in the barest sense as they use the internet to connect players to each other. In my mind they're still not true MMOs as they lack dedicated developer maintained servers and a "persistent world".

And there you go, I said it was as much an MMO as the newer cod or battlefield. Just the simplest thing like interacting or questing with NPC's in open space area'd are not present in Dust(yes drones, but we heard about them for a year or two, if not more now). Instead of telling him off Shijima, go google Battlefield Heroes and compare that mechanisms of that game to how dust is. By all means, reading your 3-4 posts, your conclusions about an MMO describes most of the mechanisms of Battlefield Heroes and that game is not a f'kin MMO.

I think you misunderstand. IMO, and by definition, Dust is an MMO while CoD and BF are barely MMOs. When I said they're not true MMOs I was only referring to CoD like games that hold their matches on a player's console rather than on a dedicated server with a "persistent world".
