Playing with a pad it felt like crap but plugging in a mouse made it feel like Planetside which in itself is not a great FPS but its not awful. If it felt more snappy and less floaty, if the weapons felt more meaty, if vehicles utterly dominating and if everything had about half the hitpoints its a solid start. It also kind of looked like **** on PS3 next to other FPS games.
I do commend them for trying it but when its the kind of intangible "feel" thats wrong, thats a hard thing to fix. Legion has a much better chance of surviving. That said, if Dust was on PC first it would have been fairly early in the F2P space and could have exploded far more and brought in more money which in turn could have made the game better.
"Playing with a pad felt like crap" - Subjective. I actually learned fairly quickly coming from a counter strike background
"If the weapons felt more meaty" - Depends on the weapon tbh. My beautiful Gallente Plasma Rifle is the definition of meat.
"Vehicles utterly dominating" - Not anymore, they're actually quite crappy / non factor right now
"Half the hitpoints" - Weapons in Planetside 2 deal on average 200 damage per shot. DUST weapons around 30. Half the hitpoints is relative.
"Kind of looked like ****" - Agreed.
Just wanted to bring those points out.

(What a surprise that was only predicted 6 months before it even launched by 90+% of the Eve community.) May as well remove these from the market entirely. Even if they get used some day in "Legion" they would likely have to be rebalanced/redone anyway. This is nonsense. DUST 514 is not being closed down. A new release is currently being developed with a tentative release date of February. You don't have a customisable Captains Quarters yet either? Odd, we've had one a while now. 
Eh, it's only a Gallentean space hooker
