Coming to Dust 514 and EVE Online from CCP Canada: Mote 123

Mote is a game in which players slide projectiles across a sheet of space towards a target area. It is related to asteroids, the Hollywood movie adaptation of "wanted", and shuffleboard. Two teams, each of four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished projectiles, also called "bullets", across the space sheet towards the spaceship, a circular target marked on the space.

The "moter" can induce a curved path by causing the projectile to slowly turn as it fires, and the path of the projectile may be further influenced by two "sweepers" equiped with "brooms" who accompany it as it slides down the space, using the brooms to alter the state of the space in front of the projectile. A great deal of strategy and teamwork goes into choosing the ideal path and placement of a bullet for each space situation, and the skills of the moters determine how close to the desired result the bullet will achieve. This gives moting its nickname of "Chess On space".

Mote 123 will revolutionize gaming as the first hybrid of PC gaming and Canadian ice sports.

No.
Details about the open beta will be provided at a later date by CCP.

It seems that dust will be open 2013/01/22 ... but there is still no word in the eve comunity... but yes in the eve news... how can this be?

Ok had to login just to post in this thread. I respect CCP's desire to connect a FPS to EVE, although i think that's a Daft idea, We've been asking you guys to open that god **** door for years now.

Also, as much as a wonderful peachy idea this is, i absolutely refuse to participate in that drooling cesspool mechanic you call FW just to aim a midget gun at a guy holding an even smaller gun.

I was thinking about planetary bombardement for a little bit. Now we cant use missiles as planetrary point defense guns would shoot them down. How come we dont have these point defense gadgets on our battleships, which are comparable in size to the DUST battlefields ? How about Titans and supercarriers ?

Am I missing something here? I have been trying to read up on this since I just getting back into the Eve online world.. Everything I see says this is only for PS3 systems?

My understanding was that DUST and EVE work together? Or are they two separate games completely and not linked in any way?

I use PC's exclusively so if someone can elaborate a bit on this it would help because the more I read the more confused I am getting..

I have been gone 12 years from Eve and just trying to catch up on all those changes has been a endeavor so any help in this area would be appreciated when it comes to DUST and what it really is and what it has to do with EVE on the PC...

Thanks

I think that is the coolest thing to do to an MMO! No other game can do that good job and good idea guys! I can not wait for it to finally get up to par and BOMBing planets!

I believe that it is not fair allowing people into a game for 'free' when all of us in EVE must pay for the right to use the game.
