Guess the influx of new players in Eve are paying off CCP just announced a new office that will handle both console research and Dust.
The odd thing was they neame dust a "hybrid shooter" tagging it a Fps and RTS with no mention of it being a mmo.
gratz to them and its nice to get a solid description of what Dust will be.
Nothing but a normal shooter with rts elements.

The only RTS element I've seen is that you can open up the map and choose where you want vehicles to be dropped. It's pretty nice that you can get planes too.

Stop hanging on the damn new post page like a no life newb and i would have been able to put the source before you made your stupid comment.
Read it d**k.
DUST never claimed it would be an MMO.
Good news on the new office though. CCP growing strong steadilly .
This is what the link says about Dust.
"About DUST 514
A hybrid first-person shooter (FPS) and real-time strategy (RTS) experience, DUST 514 features brutal ground and vehicular combat within the universe of EVE Online. Developed for the current generation of consoles, DUST 514 will equally test players’ battlefield reflexes and strategic planning, allowing commanders and ground infantry to work together using real-time configurable modular weapons and vehicles to adapt to and control dynamic battlefield conditions. With this approach, CCP will create for consoles and FPSs what it has created for MMOs: a persistent virtual world in which emergent gameplay and players' own social behavior drive the action."
Don't be so fast in calling someone a troll, newb.
I never said they did. this is good info now people can stop making shit up and expecting Dust to be the next planetside.
Its clear Dust will be a console Fps, with rts elements and the ability to take objectives from Eve players if they want, nothing less, nothing more.
I would much rather it be a regular shooter than a mmo anyway.
Before the word MMO became a catchphrase that relates to how many people fit in once place, it was characterized by having a *persistant world*. This is about as much of an MMO as MAG or Planetside, though if you have to argue they are not, let me remind you that the M in MAG stands for "massive".

Might as well call everything from GTa to oblivion to fable to mag to borderlands a mmo then lol.
Honestly dude if you would have just held your load for one second and let me link the damn info you would have seen i was more of a messenger than a troll.
Its too early to be attacked by some no lifer that hangs on the mmorpg.com page waiting to pounce on people for no reason. let a brother get some coffee before you act like a ass. it was uncalled for.
Yet you gave your message and all it does is stand against the point you are trying to make.
Seems like the game will be a persistant virtual world, which is basically the basis of all MMOs. I like how you bring up player-hosted games like GTA and borderlands, even single-player Oblivion to the table in order to back up your point. Makes you look real knowledgeable on the subject.
But mag is played on a server persistantly held open by a host and features no lobby or player-hosted gamesets, so it is an MMO, and you get a cookie.

Did you read your link?
As its first project, CCP Newcastle will collaborate with CCP Asia in Shanghai on the development of the upcoming MMOFPS DUST 514 for console platforms. It will also be responsible for delivering advanced solutions for lighting, physics and artificial intelligence to CCP's console projects. CCP Newcastle most recently teamed with Cambridge-based middleware provider Geomerics to integrate Enlighten technology for real-time radiosity lighting into Epic's Unreal Engine. Consequently, DUST 514 will be the first console title using the Unreal 3 engine to feature fully dynamic lighting.
Whats going to be persistent about dust bro? the fact that we will have terminals to walk around in before we queue for a mission? Was PSO a mmo? Diablo?GW?
Having one social hub and then queuable maps doesnt make a game a mmo.
Thats ok though im not crazy like you people, I dont need every game to be a mmo.
Lets just stop tossing around bullshit and calling Dust a mmo, because its wrong to do so.
I love how saying Dust will be a Fps makes me a troll lol.
Show me the link that says this will be in the game.

Have you read all the info on Dust? its as if CCP is tossing the mmofps tag on it not to upset potential customers.
A game with a social hub and queueable missions is not an mmo.
They say its persistent but then say we wont be able to free roam lol.
pointing all that stuff out doesnt make me a troll.
Seriously people get so upset on this forum.
Some of us have to goto work bro.
Do your own search. its been said a few times. you could probably find the links on this very forum.
Dust will not be a free roam type of mmo sorry.
you will sit in a terminal (where you could connect to eve players) and select a mission and then play out a mini game.
With all that said Im still looking forward to it.

Relax, I'm not GTwander . I didn't state you said it would be, but your post hinted at it (Probably some guys theorycrafting that DUST would be an MMO), I just kinda rectified that.
Not deleted probably reincarnated lol!!!!!

I don't think dust will be a traditional mmo either. I'm still looking forward to it since i enjoy eves setting/ip.

Wait...
Sit at a terminal, select a mission and play a mini game?
sounds like the proven formula for the old 'go to questgiver, get mission to kill 10 rats, kill rats'!!!
Actually Dust will pit Merc corps against each other in open battlefields, the idea is that the Planatery interaction opened up the door to Dust by allowing Corps to seed Contracts to said Merc corps to launch assaults against installations on planets.
Each 'map' will host the aggressors and defenders (unknown how many in total) and each side will have a command point (big floating one that moves around the map).
Your avatar will be limited to what 'skills' you have (believed to be similar to the current skill system in EvE, want faster rload? train the skill) they also indicated teh 'Module' system would apply ingame, whether thats your gear or vehicles who knows.
TBH it sounds very similar to battlefield 2142

CCP Atlanta is handling WoD. Wait until around 2012 to hear more on the game.
