Ok guys & gals if you are anything like me you have subscribed for the Dust 514 beta but what will you do in Dust 514, what role will you assume on the battlefield, what's you play-style?
Do you love short-range weapons like shotguns or do you prefer long distance guns like sniper rifles...or maybe you prefer plasma cannon and grenade launchers?
Will you focus on vehicle combat (tanks, dropships, etc...) or will you focus on strategy and be a Dust Commander?

Will you play offensively or support your team?

Depending on how they're implemented, I usually go for stealth, speed or a combination of the two. Frequently with healing abilities as well - again, depending on implementation within the game.

I also want to try out the commander role, though. It sounds rather awesome.

^^ I'm with him ^^

Bit of lone wolf never goes a miss in any shooter either which I enjoy. But TBF I don't know much about this game other then its an MMO set in the Eve universe. I'll found out all I need when I get to play it though

Since you lose your items for ever when you die, i am staying back for a bit. Im not buying the dearest assault rifle just to lose it 5 mins later.

Weapons/armours/vehicles costs won't be so prohibitive that players will fear to die; one should save its best vehicle& equipment for the "big battles," and not for the standard matches, but dying won't be a catastrophe.

Surely dying in Dust 514 will have a higher impact on the palyer than in any other FPS but money won't prevent players from playing as they like: I expect Dust 514 to become more careful, to develop an higher tactical sense, but not to abandon their playstyle for fear of death.

Also as a future Dust 514 Commander it will be my restorability to make sure that you soldier would not die in vain.

Rember alos that your death will stip away of a 325.00isk armor but if I die, as commander, I loose 120 millions of mobile command center.

You sound exactly like the person I would hate to play against and with

[The-Sea-Trout]

Has anyone who signed up for the beta got a code yet??

Not sure when they will be sending them tot hose who get in.

[DiamondRabbit]

As of now only CCP knows, but expect a second wave of people getting codes through Eve Online sometime late this week. Open registration might get their codes then, but most people think that will be the week after. But again, no solid facts.

[LAILIEL]

I expect more codes to be sent after the E3.

Fingers crossed for a Live demo of this ay Sony's E3 conference.

I really want Sony to go to town with coverage for this one.
