You do know this is not CCP's doing it's xbox live and it's tight restrictions.

that sounds like bullshit,
It's just the money -
as updates and patches
exist for all our games

we have indie games,
we have games running with user generated content

the idea that it's not on xbox is because microsoft said
NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT

is complete nonsense
after all for all the hype there isn't actually any real-time
eve integration is there.
if EvE pilots were sending orbital strikes onto the dust map that would be one thing -
but they are not.
it's just contracts - and that is little more than a social network
which another certain FPS game has launched - without issues...

the true reason is probably down to the fact that it was never really going to be cross platform.
Long ago CCP probably realised they didn't have the resources or expertise to make it cross platform
and took sony as having the better offer and would have been easier to work with...

Time will tell of course wether that was the right decision.

PERSONALLY -
I feel it's a big risk - and while I wish Dust all the best...
They chose a somewhat patchwork network that makes it's owner Sony a MASSIVE loss on a daily basis.
instead of a truly global and robust network, which not only turns a profit but also has a much larger dedicated staff, server and bandwidth count

I guess the test will be when everyone downloads and plays the new free game on day one.

Unless Microsoft intends on giving CCP a little more leeway, I don't see Dust coming to Microsoft. Sony gave them all the slack they want and a boat load of cash, Microsoft is content with spamming Call of duties.

quoting from the first link:

UPDATE: Farrer contacted us Friday morning to clarify his story a bit. Here is how he described it, “When in orbit around a planet, ships in EVE can see conflict zones represented on the surface, and access information about the individual battle. Requests and communication between the two games is possible, and orbital strike requests from DUST players on the surface do indeed pop up and EVE players can happily deliver death from above! So there is a very direct live connection between the PC and the PS3, but at this point you can’t literally ‘see’ the battles and their components taking place from the PC.”

from another:

When asked if DUST players would call up to EVE players in orbit for air strikes in realtime, the CCP representatives revealed that this will be in the game. "We have that actually working," they announced. "We've already done it; it's quite fun."

It is confirmed elsewhere that it's not just eve players shooting down on Dust, but that Dust players can shoot into orbit. I'm sure you can find the relevant info from these very forums, linking to source, if you put a bit of effort to it.

well i stand corrected then.....

though lord knows what will happen when goon swarm or griefers get their hands on the nukes and just decide to carpet bomb the entire map

It really sucks that Dust won't be on 360, I would like for everyone to get to play it. I would sign it but I don't like giving my personal info online. Also, the anti PS3 comments are pretty funny.

"Ps3 owners will think they have games if this comes out for them."

"Seriously I'm not buying a PS3 when the only game i would play is Dust 514 i got an Xbox 360 for shooters as do all real FPS gamers."

Im sorry xbox guys but it sounds like ccp are putting their foot down on this matter. no petition will change their mind. a game like dust needs alot of freedom on a gaming network since microsoft refused they are the people to blame for no xbox version of dust 514.

as many have stated this is NOT CCP's doin
M$ will not allow a PC game and a 360 game to interconnect much less a 360, PC AND PS3 game to connect, they have very tight restrictions whereas sony is more open. Idk why the xbox ppl are surprised. Look @ portal 2 recently which had steam integration on PS3 and nothing on the 360. M$ wont allow it.

Either way im happy its a PS3 exclusive now, means CCP can focus on ONE console and make it optimal on that and because of that we will now get things like PS Vita and PS Home integration as well.

Only downside however is that i would have liked to see how the whole PS3 v 360 corps would work out cuz u know they would have been some intense rivalries lol

I don't think that this petition is going to matter. It's microsoft that doesn't want cross platform play. It isn't just Dust 514 they have done this too, the new counterstrike is going to have cross platform play but microsoft refuses to allow users to connect to Steam. So basically because microsoft doesn't like steam they are denying their subscribers the ability to get the full potential out of what undoubtedly is going to be a great game. And in the case of Dust 514 Microsoft has denied us an entire game which I believe is going to be amazing.( I have a ps3 so I will be playing Dust 514 but I would MUCH rather play it on xbox, I don't have anything against the playstation its just that I prefer xbox. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /> )

I would have loved to see all the talk from the ps3 and xbox people turn into actual battles in Dust 514 <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

I would like to clear up some things, mostly It isn't CCP's fault It is Xbox live's fault. DUST 514 requires info to be sent real time between the two games (EVE and DUST 514) and xbox live has issues with that. I don't know if there are any other reasons behind this but you should be petitioning to Xbox, not CCP.
