Another good point to DUST is they obviously have EVE in mind for many many more years. WoD is great and all good but the plans seem to be laid for another 6-10 yrs of EVE considering it might be 3 yrs before DUST even hits.

No clue but seen the 3yr mark thrown around quite a bit.

Relax, out of MM's membership you likely have several hundred people minimum that not only own a console, but will happily be spending part of their time playing DUST... probably in a DUST corp/alliance dedicated to supporting MM's territorial claims.
I really don't think you have much to get stressed over, you are in a better position to "maintain control" than most.

All I can say to you (CCP) is that I'm surprised by the announcement, and I really hope that this isn't going to be for consoles alone. If DUST 514 were to be an integrated system... a core attribute to the current EVE Online experience, you'd be a part of something so fantastic that nobody has ever dared to dream of being possible.

Others may have tried, but let me tell you... they failed. I think that DUST 514 would best be utilized by the current EVE Online player base, for starters. So my opinion is that DUST 514 shouldn't just be a console title, but a PC title as well. I'd gladly pay $60 for a PC version of DUST 514 that could be linked to my current EVE Online account.

Now obviously, there's a lot of room to speculate as to what the gameplay elements of DUST 514 will be. My speculation is it'll be a tactical shooter where a player engages in combat with other players, and also commands a squad of AI they can issue real-time orders to in the field, and that there will be a separate skill system, not too dissimilar from EVE Online, where a player can specialize what type of soldier he is. Is he a leader, or is he a follower? Does he prefer stealth tactics, or does he prefer out-and-out in-your-face bloody combat?

If my speculation is correct, a system such as this could be integrated into EVE Online, allowing pod pilots to take up arms planetside, but only after specific training that is unique to pod pilots to condition them for ground combat. Because lets face it, in the world of EVE, the true commanders of the battlefield are the ones in the skies above. However, having the ability to start out as a foot soldier would still be readily available to those of us who have free character slots. Maybe even the option to purchase additional character slots could be added for players who integrate a DUST account into their EVE account.

In my opinion, this would be the best course to take with DUST. That being... DUST 514 being available for PC, and allowing seamless integration of a DUST account into an EVE account, unlocking the potential for pod pilots to shed their metal skin, and take up arms on the ground. I know that from my perspective... if I was contracting a military force in EVE to take control of a planetary sector, I'd want to be on the ground with a weapon in-hand to make sure it gets done right.

Console. FPS. You can integrate EvE with a toaster next.

I mean it is not unexpected and not something I would not do in your place. But from the looks of it it is way too detached and any connections to EvE would most likely be gimmicks unless you want to nuke your flagship.

Also, you overestimate EvE IP.

Eve Online developers CCP have filed two new trademarks pertaining to online gaming: Dust, and Dust 514.

Throughout this entire thing I've seen people complain about this being in out of pod. DUST takes place on the ground away from our ships, so should it not be in out of pod?

It's their message board, they can put it anywhere they like. They also put the big sticky pointing here at the top of General Discussion.

Now knock it off, you're beginning to sound like a petulant pre-teen.

I just watched the trailer. It didn't give much idea of the gameplay but the settings look right for an eve-related game. Other than that it looks like your standard puppymill FPS based on halo but with brilliant CCP looks that won't come thru on a TV set....

So this "360" thing that someone told me it's built for... is this the only machine that will play this? and if so... do those hook up to a propper computer monitor? I don't have a qualified TV set because computers do it better... and without commercials.

PS: what is a 360? is that a nintendo or what? ..... Atari? Sounds like quite a bit of money that would require spending to play one game that looks like halo

...Did I mention it looks like halo? Really, it does... the similarities are uncanny. I think they ripped off halo... I mean... it was made in china... home of the ripped off product.

It's unfortunate that you may need one of these "360" devices to play halo514 but it does sound like a decent 'approved splitter' thing for slow nights.

So who out there has a "514" device to play this newfangled halo360?
