DUST to-date... my experience of watching DUST trailers, anticipating the game, disappointment in the demo, and watching DUST CCP reacting (if you can call it that) to suggestions, reminds me a lot of Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Check it out:

DUST 514 announcement demo: DUST 514 demo | DUST as it actually is

• Better explosions, textures, and effects, it's a different game engine than final product (ended up using Unreal 3. Unreal 4 available but too expensive for game, I guess.).
• Vehicle control is a lot better. Let's see anyone in DUST right now driving like they do in this demo.
• Graphics a lot better in demo.
• Lots of features in demo omitted from final game.
• Developer commits to continued updates and new features. Has yet to overcome most of the original criticism, or match their demo.

Aliens: Colonial Marines in-progress demo: Demo vs Final Product

• Better explosions, textures, and effects, it's a different game engine than final product (ended up using Unreal 3. Unreal 4 available but too expensive for game, I guess.).
• Graphics a lot better in demo than final.
• Lots of features in demo omitted from final game.
• Developer commits to continued updates and new features. Has yet to overcome most of the original criticism, or match their demo.

It's the same thing.

I'm not trying to diss DUST too much... I want to see it successful. I've spent a decent amount of rl cash to support it too. However, you have to look at the reality of the situation: DUST is free. My time is not. If the game isn't good RIGHT NOW, it's not a good game. Maybe it can be a good game in the future... but it needs to get real quick and there's not much sign of anything but little tweaks coming up in the near future.

If by "update" you mean a couple of teaks, than "no" because it doesn't count. We need a lot more than pushing a couple damage sliders around, I think you'll agree.

I log onto Black Ops and there are, at any given time, over 150k people on with me. DUST 5k. Don't need a review to tell me what that means.

Dust is not a good and enjoyable FPS game. I tried playing it, I really tried, but when the aiming is so atrocious and the vehicles controls so bad and the physics are just bad, there isn't much left in the game. The shooting sucks, the driving sucks, and really I don't see a reason to continue playing as there are hundreds of other dust bunnies to take my place in battles.
