The Real Battlefield VR... War Dust

War Dust VR apparently exists and is the closest thing to a Battlefield VR game we have. Never heard of this game before in my life, it looks like an indie game from the early 2000's but it's Battlefield VR. Even more so than Pavlov Push. Because the vehicle combat just works. Helicopters, jets, tanks and ATV's all fully playable in VR. And it's good gameplay too. So strange. I hope it gave you a chuckle though and I will see you later today... or never...

I remember this game from back in lockdown where there would be consistently 1 full server every day and it was awesome because there was only one server people sort of knowing each other and it formed this whole community and there would be player organised events EVERY Friday and at the end we would all organise and take a screenshot together, definitely one of the most wholesome vr shooters I've played

[@marcludwig6215]

It's way better now. Roundy took it over and reworked all of the maps and weapons. He also upped the tick rate to 15. It runs smooth with 38 people in it.

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor. Then, he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat and then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a 'zoo'! Unless it's a farm!

[@acog4all]

I went to a VR store where you could basically rent time to play any vr game you wanted. I played War Dust. 30 minutes, had no idea how to play at all and never used a vr headset or controllers before. That experience and game solidified my love and eventual purchase of my own vr headset. Sadly quest 2 standalone can't play it but I've found so many gems that scratch that itch. Once I get a PC I'm playing war dust asap

I decided to play a random public match and joined into a match with this more experienced player, the Brin of minigolf. They gave me some helpful advice on how to play and let me take as much time as I needed. Godspeed to that player.

This game actually seems fun, I’ll give it a try for sure

[@RCrider185]

I've played this game for years, there is full lobbies every weekend (2pm ish) and events 2 times during the week. A must is to DL the custom XP farm map and leave your HMD on the floor for 2+hrs to level up and unlock better weapons...Also if servers are low create custom lobbies with custom maps and turn up bots to 50vs50 and turn up count to 800 troops for a crazy fun time by yourself until someone joins your lobby

I saw the thumbnail and immediately knew it was War Dust. To me it used to be cool, but it got abandoned and there was not enough content, so I just put it aside and didn't really care for it anymore.

I'm surprised you didn't already know about it though.

I played this game back when it launched and had a playerbase. It died rather quickly and i never understood why as it is a pretty good representation of bf in vr. Habie, pls bring the players back

[@evolicious]

Because that's the year beat saber came out, moss, zero caliber, sprint vector, budget cuts, echo combat, and tons of very polished games that were taking over the early 2016-2017 jank VR games that were exploring VR. At that time, most everyone had been figuring out the limitations and standardized controls. War dust was very slow to get on-board with all of that. Could have been a great game if the devs actually built a game on top of war dust. Instead, the devs have shit out the most jank low-effort trash VR has seen, but on an impressive open-world MP scale. GangV, Standout, and Art of the Fight all had great potential, but were abandoned quickly. Seems like the devs don't want to put any effort into creating polished VR games.
