Been playing for a few days now and I gotta admit that I like it. It would be nice if there was more game modes than just Ambush and Skirmish but maybe you get more if you join a corp (maybe not). And the learning curve is a tad deep for a FPS but its one of the things that make it seem like your entering a large gaming universe and its one of the things that drew me in, trying to figure everything out. Actually kinda reminiscent of my first time playing Fallout 3… except with a lot more shooting. All in all looking forward to seeing where they go with all this potential.

#93 is a troll, what he says is the complete opposite of this game. Though PVE will be comming in the next build.
The battles compete for districts on planets on the EVE Online PC game. This is NOT a lobby FPS like BF3 and is BETTER than BF3, MAG, and Resistance 2. When this game is complete it will be way more in depth, fun, and better looking than Planetside 2.

ALL THE WHINING ….Oh Boo Hoo, my free game isn’t perfect and under current development. Jesus H. Christ, find a real problem to MOAN about . If they said hey it’s done that’s it and charged you for it. Now that would be a REAL problem. This is R and D in action. Not instant gratification. I just finished feeding a few hundred Homeless folks in the cold rain. Bet they would love to be able to play DUST 514 beta in that comfy chair in your home. World’s got real problems.

Man MAG and Resistance 2 are both better than Dust 514.

MAG and Resistance 2 have 64 player fights. this game is a weak 48 player, and still sluggish compared to these old titles on the same system.

and at least Resistance 2 has some PvE thats also good. Dust 514 does not even have PvE at all.

Scrap this junk.

if CCP wanted to make a MMOFPS than make a real MMOFPS like Planetside 2 does. Not some lobby based FPS shooter like BF3 is.

If you were simply going with the large scale Lobby FPS, than maybe you should have asked Sony if you could mod MAG’s engine to make the game. Would have been better than this crap.

This is not a typical console beta where they already shipped the games on disk and are letting you play a week early.

This is more akin to an MMO on PC beta and many are very long.
Star War Galaxies was 9 months long for its invite beta, friends and family started much earlier.

The other reason why this beta was so long a few months ago players made one heck of a protest to get corporation function in, a feature slated for the first expansion which in the end delayed the “launch” build to the originally planned expansion which is 2013 summer.

Last Major Feature Slated for the Beta is Faction Warfare Iteration. This will allow players to actually champion a NPC faction and fight to control 300+ odd planets with 10 districts apiece. Right now though its possible to do some of this its more of a proof of concept. The iterated version would be more meaningful and even includes beginnings of war declaring ability.

Overall the game is very incomplete, and won’t be bare minimum complete for probably a year. None the less free to play come back anytime you get bored with other shooters, you might be in for a surprise.

Please forgive my really stupid question, but is this a game where you fight other people? I’m not very good at online combat. I’m more of a PvE than PvP . :-)

I ‘m definitely enjoying my time with Dust 514 (I’ve been a beta participant since the closed beta). :)
