Dust 514 closed Beta starts today - get your codes here

PSU: Wow, you really messed up, didn’t you… You totally failed to acquire one of those much-sought-after Dust 514 closed Beta codes. Now you have to deal with everyone else on the internet having tons of fun this weekend, without you.

But, wait – there’s hope! PSU is the light at the end of your dark, depressing, Dust-less, out-of-beta tunnel. (DUST 514, PS3)

zeeshan  +   321d ago
I didn't get any code. If anyone has an extra one, please share it with me.
Lavalamp  +   322d ago

This game is pretty cool. It feels like a mix between Mass Effect and MAG.

HeavenlySnipes  +   322d ago
started playing it and the first thought in my head is this is how Mass Effect would be as an FPS (with no powers). The move controls are f'd though. KZ3 still has the best implementation
HammadTheOne  +   322d ago
Yeah Move controls were just recently implemented not less than a week ago. They definitely need some work.

I personally can't wait to check out K/BM. Not many games bother with this nowadays.

Game is amazing by the way. Even for a beta.
Oschino1907  +   321d ago
Not gonna be any Keyboard Mouse controls, they confirmed that a while back now.
TreMillz  +   322d ago
PS3 died last month the day after i registered, if anybody wants my code inbox me, just tell me if its cool or not
Tultras  +   322d ago
If anyone has a extra code, please pm it to me, if it is not too much trouble.

Playing it now but I will have to reserve judgement until its full release.
Sniperwithacause  +   322d ago
I also got the code. On the way to a family reunion with my kids. Had time to download just need to install. I really hope this gets me back into multiplayer again.
TooTall19  +   322d ago
Unless they changed it recently you will also have to download a fairly large patch.
Pintheshadows  +   322d ago
I'm enjoying it apart from the assault rifles scope. Shame there's only one map as well.
HammadTheOne  +   322d ago
Soon™ there wwill be more maps. About a week ago, there were 2-3 other maps and modes, but this is the only map for now.
mafiahajeri  +   321d ago
Yes it is justifiable when has any game changed so much from beta to full retail? Also I don't get what you meant by closed beta what are you expecting it to change when it goes open? Dang it might aswell be open it so easy to get a code and I'm sure there will be no open beta once it's f2p they'll just release it and patch it up as they go. L2t 5arbit wayid mag wayid a7san :)

The jump between the first build and the new build they released Friday is incredible.

This is going to turn out to be a fantastic game.
Nykamari  +   322d ago
I was like Damn what they do? Is a different game? Beautiful change!
Ken22  +   322d ago
Anyone got a spare U.S. code??
MerkinMax  +   322d ago
In the US, if anyone has an extra code I'll gladly accept one. :)
HBK619  +   322d ago
Done. :)
sandman224  +   322d ago
I thought all ps+ subscribers where suppose to get all beta keys. Am I wrong?
PirateThom  +   322d ago
Nope, they said PS+ would get early access to any public betas, but not closed Betas like this one.

While a fair bit behind the curve graphically I'm mostly liking the beta.

I don't get much of the outside stuff to the gameplay at the moment, all the shop stuff is confusing as hell. What actually means anything? From what I was reading every gun you buy counts and such, but so far I've seen none of that depleting?

Gameplay wise though there's a lot to soak in and really get around, however it's enjoyable at a base level which is what you really need in order to get into something deeper later on.

Would be nice to get a different map though as the layout isn't great.

For mine the game is a mix of MAG and Battlefield (haven't personally played Mass Effect yet).

PirateThom  +   322d ago
You have to buy another suit and set up a new loadout. The default militia gear replenishes, but you can buy other stuff that doesn't. It's not very clear, but basically you can't buy a weapon and use it, you must create a loadout with the weapon selected.

I like the game, it reminds me of Killzone 2 and Battlefield.
TheRealHeisenberg  +   322d ago
Anybody got an extra code? I'm in the US.
Virtual_Reality  +   322d ago
The closed beta started months ago, but now it is more extended with more players.

The real matches are not included yet. Probably it will take weeks or months to merge the beta in the Tranquility server, after that we can interact with EVE players, the conquest will begin when they include battles in Null sec and low sec planets and contracts created by capsuleers.

where do i get the code?
izumo_lee  +   322d ago
I believe there are a few ways to get in. One is to buy that starter pack (19.99) on the PS store that gives you some pretty nice equipment & items to begin your game. The other is harder by playing this minigame in PS home which i have not tried. There is another way which i forget at the moment.

Graphically it is kinda muddy but that is expected from a beta. The game runs pretty well & it can be really fun. There is a learning curve in setting up your merc but once you get the hang of it, it is straight forward.
modesign  +   321d ago
WTF is this starter pack
Blastoise  +   322d ago
What are peoples views on this game? Iv heard very mixed things and I`d like an honest opinion...
PirateThom  +   322d ago
If you're looking for deep customisation, controls that hover somewhere around "Killzone 2" in terms of weight, a challenging experience and some crazy stuff happening, it's the game for you...

It's definitely not for everyone though. It can be tough to actually get into it, it's not like a standard FPS where you pick/unlock your load out by level and are good to go, you have to buy the better guns with in game currency and die once, you lose them. The controls can feel sluggish (to anyone who hated Killzone 2, it's even "worse") and there's no auto aim or assists, it's a big boy FPS.
Blastoise  +   322d ago
Sounds alright, I enjoy Killzone online and enjoy a bit of MAG too every now and then.

Iv heard you cant sprint, melee or aim down the sites? Is that true or not?
PirateThom  +   322d ago
You can do all three of those things.
Blastoise  +   322d ago
@Reply

Good. I thought it sounded like BS XD

Edit @FunAndGun
Cheers :) I'll give it a quick look

here is the user manual for Dust 514 Closed Beta. It might answer some of your question and give you a better idea of what is in store.

mafiahajeri  +   321d ago
Horrid is my honest opinion. I would rather play MAG...
HammadTheOne  +   321d ago
Yes, because judging a beta, a closed beta at that, as the same as a full game 7 years old is obviously justifiable. MAG guys are the ones ruining it, by complaining on the forums all the time. your game is dead, in case you didn't realize, and wasn't extremely popular. There's gotta be something wrong there.
NoOoB101  +   322d ago
ugh i really want a beta invite ><
jjb1981  +   322d ago
I actually bought the mercenary pack and played last Tuesday, its really fun, but many bugs need to be worked out. (hence, beta) its almost got a mass effect to it...
r21  +   322d ago
hey if theres a kind soul out there with an extra code, please give me one :D
Dms2012  +   322d ago
Just spend the 20 quid and get the Mercenary pack, its worth it with the extra equipment.
r21  +   322d ago
i would but currently low on cash :C
VonBraunschweigg  +   322d ago
I think you still can get in through Home, dl the game's E3 event lounge and play&win a funny boardgame called Slay, watch all the vids in the lounge & you get a code.
chukamachine  +   322d ago
Thanks alot for the info.

Just got mine from your method.

Played game, select sp - keep skipping your go(it's quick:) watch all vids(they are short) goto kiosk and get your instant key. got mine and downloading now.
SAE  +   321d ago
Where is kiosk ?..
VonBraunschweigg  +   321d ago
The kiosk would be the other section of the lounge, opposite to the section where you play Slay, so close to the officer you can speak to. There are 4 or 6 booths overthere, each with their own video. Last video shows your code, so get a pen. And win Slay:) Put it on PSN Sony, it's a funny game.
dontbhatin  +   322d ago
whats the player count on these maps??
mercsfan  +   322d ago
24

Heard it's suppose to be larger in the full game though
Caffo01  +   321d ago
