BF4 and Killzone Shadowfall are all I need to get off this pile of crap known as dust.

Debating right now whether or not I wanna upgrade to a 7970 for BF4... that game looks amazing!

well z, hit me up on psn if you and spinner are getting it. It will be a nice little PFBHz reunion. Unless you are getting on PC Sad

Yeah we're defo getting it for PC, sorry buddy!

I compromised with Spinner.. I would play Dust on the PS3 with him but it would be the last PS3 game I would play. I then invited him over to play BF3 on my PC... he was in love lol.

yeah BF really shines on PC even with the new PS4 coming out, it will always be better on PC. At least the PS4 has the 32 vs 32 man lobbies now like the PC had. I cant wait to see how many servers I get banned from again. I even got banned from a no kick server just because I took the admins dog tags and I was playing on my alt Twilight Sparkle.

Cosgar ParagonX 3679	Posted - 2013.08.01 12:30:00 - [5] - Quote Chat channels don't load an entire roster anymore, only the last few people to say something. Dust isn't dead, numbers have dropped a bit because it's the worse time of year for the gaming industry- summer. Doomsdayers on here will tell you otherwise but wait until fall to get an accurate reading on active players.

calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F 606	Posted - 2013.08.01 12:35:00 - [9] - Quote meh i've been happy with the last two patches. pc now runs alot smoother in 1.3, the flaylock balance patch seems really solid, the caldari suits changes were good as well. all around 1.2 and 1.3 has greatly improved the game for me, and I'm looking forward to 1.4 now.
Aran Abbas Goonfeet Top Men. 211	Posted - 2013.08.01 12:36:00 - [10] - Quote The max active players Dust has is around 5000 and it has been that way for some time. That essentially says to me it's the same core of people, with a few leavers and joiners every week. It's not going consistently down like it used to, so I supposed there's progress, of a sort.

Am I really the only person left on the planet that still plays my PS2? No not everyone will move over to PS4 but a hell of a lot will. I like Dust but when PS4 comes out with Multiplayer games such as BF4 why would I want to play an inferior FPS game like Dust. Many others will think the same. Also CCP just don't seem capable of delivering any better anytime soon. When Planetside 2 releases on PS4 Dust will have a lot to do to match it.
RoundEy3 Metal Mind Industries 256	Posted - 2013.08.01 13:12:00 - [15] - Quote For all fairness I play a number of other games that are still quite alive with mp activity and good times that have far less active #'s and attention than DUST. So, you know take that for what it is worth, and if you enjoy playing DUST at all keep your "CCP get to work" bat swinging.

For example I still play killzone 3. those lobbies are 6 v 6. Dust is supposed to be 16 vs 16 but yes I agree. If you like this crap game by all means, keep playing it. Who are we to tell someone what they should or should not play. I have friends that still play dust, so I will once in a blue moon log on and play just to hang with them for a bit, otherwise I wont touch this game as I believe it is going in the wrong direction.

For what it's worth, MOST of those "better" games that have been teased for the next gen systems aren't scheduled for release until at least Spring next year. Only a small handful of games will actually be launch titles.

How much money have you spent on Dust? I suspect both numbers are pretty low unless you play video games all day every day?

Lol yeah i don't know how its going to be... i've played it some but ive not sunk the kind of hours i used to put into dust into bf3. So we may find the PC shooter experience to be frustrating I don't know, but I did enjoy the time I did spend on it. In the end, the only reason I can play dust is cause of the mkb controls (sad I know, I just can't stand shooters with a controller). So i'm pretty happy to get back into a well balanced and high fidelity experience on the PC. Just trolling on here still cause I get bored at work lol.
