First-person shooters are nothing without guns -- lots of 'em -- and CCP's upcoming DUST 514 is no exception. Today the company has released a new PlayStation blog update that zeroes in on a handful of infantry weapons in the far-future sci-fi opus.
Said weapons are broken down into light, heavy, and sidearm classes, with one example of each detailed. Light weapons are the most common, and they fulfill multiple roles for short- and medium-range applications. They also come in four variants, each of which allows gamers to select a playstyle that features a number of trade-offs (lower fire rates for increased accuracy, etc.).
Heavy weapons are more specialized, and are only available to players skilled enough to use heavy dropsuits. Sidearms are generally used as backup weapons, but they're still deadly in the right hands. Finally, today's entry continues the DUST tradition of showing off factional equipment variants, so head to the PlayStation blog to get a glimpse of some Amarr, Gallente, and Caldari weaponry.

@Caskio Well, I think the hand gun at least, looks more like the gun used in Bladerunner, which is no bad thing.
Think they all look pretty sweet. I wonder if Caldari will have a 0% EM resist on their armour lol.
Glad to see people excited about this game.

Same. One of the primary reasons my corp even started to invest into PI and "claiming" some WH systems was in anticipation of tying everything together with Dust 514. Our whole enthusiasm for the project and EVE in general nose dived with the PS3 announcement. Many of us have just mothballed our accounts or went semi-inactive living off plex till we hear more about a PC version of Dust.

I like big-assed guns! They make me feel good and help compensate for my...you know...small feet.

PC version or bust, CCP.
although I'm fairly sure you KNOW you will have to port it once Sony release a new console and this one dies an unceremonial death.
Not sure what you're thinking, putting a game that's supposed to live for decades on a platform that's due to be replaced in the next 2-3 years.

I agree with the sentiment here, developing a title, who's primary player base consists of PC players, and not also putting releasing that title for PC is just plain shortsighted.
...and yes CCP have clearly stated on several occasions, there will be no PC version at launch, and that they have no plans to ever release it on PC. Also if you notice on their website, they have the Playstation and PS3 logos, but no PCDVD, Windows, Mac, or any computer related logos.
DUST 514 is a PS3 exclusive title in every sense of the word.

wow, actually you are shortsighted. Why does it matter if their main title is for pc? does that mean that all games they make now must be for PC and they are not alowed to be diverse and spread out?
Dust is not intended for eve players, it is intended for a completely different target audience. Eve is a "serious commitment" game where a person would strategize and invest vast ammounts of time. Dust is a quick action game, where you sit down, press play and start shooting. Which is perfect for the console crowd.
And if you would be bothered to read some of the other posts on this page you would see Dust is coming out for PC as well. Just not at release...

I'm willing to retract my statement if proven to be in error. Perhaps you can provide a link where a DUST developer states your claims?
I have not found any such statements, and any person's comments on this article do not constitute an official statement concerning the possibility of a PC release - that is simply conjecture and hearsay, and maybe wishful thinking.
