MAG was a huge failure of a game lol You really think anyone here wants the so called 'knowledge' of players from a game that tanked extremely hard and extremely fast? I sure as hell dont.

DONT ruin this game and make it any thing like that POS game CCP, unless you want dust to fail as horribly as that game did.

What you meant "trying"?... they doing a pretty good job so far. If i was CCP i will do the opposite to anything that the so call "MAG vets" says... or at least try to listen to the other portion of the community that have years of experience in FPS games, and not just MAG.

They are bad... Badass don't know why you think contract hunters are bad but keep in kind they are a more casual corp then a competitive corp. The fact that most of their players only joined on 5/14 doesnt help so it will take them a bit longer to catch up. Once they do though I am sure they will be as effective as they were in MAG.

Vae Victis

Homefront > MAG > DUST

Homefront was garbage.

* Finger on nose *

As much as CCP bent over backwards to appease MAG vets in beta, I think it's time to turn a deaf ear.

Coming from a guy in the most irrelevant corp in the game, with the most ignorant CEO to ever show there face in mag or dust means no1 gives a sh*t what you or any1 associated with you or your corp thinks. k? k.

Can someone give me the full story of MAG? I think last year I was close to get MAG, heard there were some fancy multiplaying. But I lost the bid on the auction site, and never really bothered again. Then I heard it was dying and stuff.

When I got here I soon figured that many MAG players had moved in. I have deep respect for 'em, they're highly skilled and tactical players. Pro if you like. The very opposite of the Evetards hanging around, which are frighteningly many, who wants this di be a dull sidegame shooter while farming stuff in Eve.

So, I call for all Maggots out there. Tell me. Bring it. Wall of text, please. I beg.

I don't think it tanked "Incredibly fast" as you put it for a console shooter.

It was released in January of 2010. This was not too terribly long after MW2 launched and yet it still was able to pull numbers of 20,000 players+ in every game mode at peak hours. At any given time you would see 10,100. That is 10k in each of the three initial game modes, at any time for 30k concurrent players, 6X even the peak amount you see across the board in Dust.

Of course these numbers dropped off after the 1.3 patch to where you might on see 13k in any given mode at peak hours, but getting into a game was instantaneous.

The game outlasted MW2, it outlasted, Black Ops, and even after the release of MW3 and BF3 nearly 2 years later you could still get any game mode you wanted, albeit you would have to wait a few minutes for a dom, but there was generally still a domination match or two going on at any given time.

To this day there are still just almost as many players playing MAG as there are playing Dust, and Dust has only been out for what, 2 -months-?

MAG is literally 24 times older than Dust and yet Dust can barely stand with MAG numbers even a year after Zipper closed down due to its own poor choices in the latter part of support for MAG, the development of S4, and Unit 13.

Saying MAG tanked "incredibly quickly" after 3 and a half years while somehow Dust is fantastical for having barely any more players than its cousin simply because of what many here have called "potential."

You people keep on using that word. I do not thin it means what you think it means....

Hint: Potential is not something that CCP has exclusive rights too, nor is it something they keep locked up in a closet to ferment while they wait for the most opportune time to unleash it.

Stabby and Cosgar lol what nerds.
Anyways Ogre you need to send me a friend request so we can play something sometime.
I dont really play this game anymore but in the future we could use an Ogre on our team.
