Dust 514 excites me

Dust 514 is looking to be very exciting and very ambitious all at the same time. CCP will attempt to connect the PS3 exclusive sci-fi MMOFPS to their huge and much loved PC MMO EVE. The idea being that players in EVE will be able to hire players in Dust (acting as mercs) to attack or defend resources on planets of interest and tactical importance in EVE directly affecting both games. The implications this could have on the EVE universe with its complex economy (managed by actual economists) and ongoing power struggle is massive.

The action itself is incredibly large in scale featuring a vast array of ground and aerial vehicles, tactical objective based gameplay and the ability to call down orbital strikes from the ships of EVE players waiting anxiously above. As I said, very ambitious. The game itself bares alot of similarities with Planetside which is not a bad thing at all.

Nothing like this has ever been attempted before, and, if it pays off, i'll be playing it for a very long time.

Did I mention it will be free to play. And, knowing CCP, it will be supported with updates and new content for years to come.
