The game was really complicated and good, but I think it was too complicated for console. When I played it on my PS3 (before it got YLOD) it was actually a very fun game. Super dedicated fanbase, the combined arms worked really well with all 4 factions having different types of weapons, vehicles and planes and a ton of different ways to play and equipment options to choose from tank with a minigun to lightweight shotgunner objective specialist. Dropping from an airship was rad as fuck. The game wasn't bad, just that releasing it console only was a mistake.
I remember when I always fucked with the enemy by dropping C4 on the points and then detonating them when they started to capture it.
>>13698150
I think the assault rifles don't shoot actual bullets for any of the factions in the game so you could actually say clip as it's a plasma or laser clip or whatever.

This. The fanbase was dedicated and the game was insanely unique and good, it was literally FPS EVE Online and in the best way possible. They are working on Project Nova right now but I don't think it has a shared universe where pilots in the sky and soldiers on the ground can cooperate. The game is what introduced me to EVE so I'm glad for it. Once Project Nova releases I will definitely play it if it will be like Dust was with all the vehicle gameplay and stuff, but from the short gameplay we saw one EVE Vegas it was infantry only and very close quarters and I think they mentioned it won't be as connected to EVE as Dust was.

Well, the issue with that was that they had a contract with Sony to make it a PS3 exclusive, so PC was a impossibility, but PS3 exclusivity was it's first and last mistake and which sealed it's fate because you can't just have a PC only audience and transport them over to console instantly. I always enjoyed that you could play the game with a keyboard and mouse, though, that was really neat.

Last I recall the 4 races had a main/heavy/sidearm weapon each (aka the minimum), but you only had caldari and gallente dropships/tanks/LAVs.
I don't know what to say other than they had their chance - then blew it in platform selection, blew it in platform life cycle selection, blew it in content delivery.. it was still a pretty alright game and game core (could have done with more cover in maps though), but they just blew it repeatedly.

ccp are not a developer who release things in timely order, they expected to have their kinda development time they typically do on a console fps which did indeed help in the down fail of dust but honestly if all of the other console specific points there weren't the case, in afew years it would have been evened out nicely

Even though I kind of liked the concept of battles that actually matter every single time you play them, the implementation was very weak. The fact that new players with shit gear play in the same battles as super rich players with the best gear made it very unbalanced. Of course, no battle in EVE is balanced, but this shit just made every single match either a "camp and kill" borefest, or "get camped and raped" rage-tornado. It was never fun. The concept wasn't fun, the gameplay was shit, the graphics were outdated even at the time, and I would call it a failed project, if it wasn't already in the "dumpster-fire" category.

Gonna add if you tie your EVE account to the game you get stats and money put onto that.
So if you dont play for years on end like i did and log in one day, you reached the game cap for every possible counter. i had more money on my soldier then i did in EVE.

I played EVE for about a year, constantly researching shit about the meta and the community, and what I found out about CCP was my #1 reason for dropping it.
Every bad decision the game has ever suffered from comes down from CCP's top execs. Dozens of reviews by former employees talking of completely disconnected leadership and how the only way to progress in the workplace or get attention to your ideas was to suck your superiors' cocks as hard as you could and shit on anyone who wasn't.
And ever since I quit, EVE has been getting jewier and jewier with their microtransactions and "free-to-play". It's going to be incredibly difficult to kill a game with an audience as autistic as theirs, but I bet they'll manage it within the next five years or so.
Look at all this beautiful shit that's been crippled and doomed by a few cancerous upper management. Fuck CCP as hard as EA, Activision and Zenimax.

The the mobile game (Gunjack) was made by Shanghai and so was Dust and now Nova, but the Shanghai offices are generally the most hush hush out of them all. I think Valkyrie was made by CCP Reykjavik instead and they abandoned ship (wisely so) after seeing that VR just won't take off.
