Just wanted to share, the beta is awesome and another AAA game for PS3s library.

im glad it is, im keeping an eye out for this game.... but there is something i just dont understand, its an MMO right? and what kind of game matches or mission or gameplay happens? like i underdstand its connectivity to EVE online but what is the purpose of the game. could you explain that to me?

I'll try and explain my understanding of it, but perhaps Turkish will be able to give you a better reply:

It's not an MMO as such, it's a more standard match-by-match based shooter.  You'll play in the stardard modes with time/score limits for taking over certain territory.  Which is where the interesting part comes in: EVE.

The connectivity to EVE (which is the mmo) is that the battles taking place in Dust are on the planets in the EVE universe.  Players from EVE can hire Dust players as mercenaries to fight for control of the planets for them.  The players from EVE can also watch over the battles and send orbital bombardments to help out their team, among other things.

I'm sure someone might be able to explain it a bit better than me, but that's my understanding of it so far.
