CCP Announces Console MMO Tie-In To the EVE Universe

Hork_Monkey writes "CCP Games, developer of the popular MMO EVE Online, has announced a new game called Dust 514. Building on the EVE universe, this game will provide planetary combat from an RTS and FPS perspective, with significant impact into the space combat aspects of EVE Online. Love or hate EVE Online, this appears to be an innovative way to expand the overall universe by catering to a different gamer audience. A video with a trailer and further explanation was posted from GDC Europe."

If you're looking for a game that:
- is grind free (you play to play, not just to get the next *ding*)
- doesn't have straight jacket classes
- has a shallow power curve (and therefore no noobstomping)
- has no currency (and therefore no gold farmers, no buying of virtual items, no twinking)
- requires some skill (as opposed to letting equations and die rolls do the work)
- encourages/rewards teamwork, but also allows solo play
- rewards strategy and tactics
- has massive maps
- can have up to 150 vs. 150 vs. 150 on one map
- Does not reset every X minutes, or when the "round" is over (anything you conquer stays yours for as long as you can hold it)
- allows for multiple play styles (stealth, flight, infantry, armor, power armor suits, support, sniping etc) ...you should check out PlanetSide.

Download the SOE Station Client and then the PlanetSide 14 day trial client. Create a Vanu Sovereignty character on the Gemini (US) server. Around 1930 Eastern, look for players with the tag "Ghosts of the Revolution". That's my outfit (guild). They will help you get started. We have weekly raids on Thursday of 30 to 90 players organized into divisions and using TeamSpeak. My primary character is N1H1L (Nihil).

Hit reply to pour on the PlanetSide hate or to ask questions about the game or my outfit.
