Did they drop money on the project only to get it back later on, or to fund an interesting project?
I did say earlier I wasn't too exited about CQC, but that being said and after reading the development of this thread I think it's a great idea (including the console exclusive). Elite Dangerous is an intimidating game and this Arena is the best way to introduce console gamers. I don't understand why so many people here are waving their pitchforks because we don't have it first, it'll come eventually and let's be honest, as good or bad as CQC may be, it'll occupy a very limited portion of our play time.
no they were invented by first and third person shooters in the recent decades i think DOOM springs to mind! as one of the notable firsts
To fund an interesting project, and now that that project is going down the wrong tube (a series of tubes in this case), some of us are not so happy about dropping money on it, nor on the little throw-away discount to try and get us to drop MORE money on the Xbox side of things.
noone can say that they not bring that too sometime in the future though...but when is the 1st "mmo" like they build mistakes will happen..lets hope they learn from them
We shouldn't want it first. The first iteration is always the buggiest and we've done enough complaining about bugs that we should know this already.

+1 rep for this, it looks great by the way.
I don't see this arena thing as a bad thing overall, but what urinates me off and I'm sure countless others is that fixes that should have been done by now, mission structure etc haven't been done but instead we've had this Powerplay thing rolled out, now this xbox thing. How long do we have to wait for the guts of the game to be even 'as they were' back in the older versions.
Patience is a virtue they say, I think many of us have been very patient, but rapidly getting to the copulate it point

I don't want it at all. If I want to play Arena Commander, I'll go and fight Vanduul over a planet and wish the developers would hurry up and make a playable game. We've got so many issues with powerplay, so many more with the systems in game right now not working properly (like, when's the last time you saw an enemy above Mostly Harmless in a combat zone). And now we're taking way too much time away from a game that has been released and needs fixing in order to develop exclusively for another system.
Agreed. There's Battlefield, too.
CQC makes me think of... CRAB BATTLE!!

there is onething i wish to remind everyone of.. XB1 players cannot play online and interact with PC/MAC players in real time EVER!
they can only effect the galaxy in the goals PP and CG's Econemy etc they are efectively in their own instance group.
now while i understand thats MS redtape for ya i can also (though i dont have to agree with it) see why FD are trying to give something to the console players first.. BUT announcing it this way via a pitiful 10 sec head nod on the Xbox keynote and a very misleading trailer probaby hasnt done FD any favours with their core playerbase at the moment.
in short i can understand it even though i dont agree with it.

thanks for saying what everyone else was thinking.
They should rename it into Elite: Me Too
I predict that's gonna turn out well.

Yep. I felt that deathmatches are perfectly suiting to the actual Elite universe really, in the form of challenges. I challenge you to a duel to the death and we bet credits on the outcome. Seems simple enough, fits the game, fits the galaxy, etc, etc, etc. Shame that it's been made - in my opinion - a weak version of what it could have been.
That's never been confirmed. M$ have been championing crossplay with win 10. I'm personally hoping for crossplay as it'll bring more players in to the game rather than being fenced off in to their own little sub groups.
