To go with the video:
Don't be so happy about graphics, especially when it is shown on stage. DUST has changed even from Beta. On stage stuff is ALWAYS bullshot. Take a look at Last of Us. It looks just as pretty as what was shown on stage for Legion. Saying that the PS3 couldn't handle the graphical might of Legion/DUST is misstated. CCP didn't know how to utilize the PS3. It is the reason why DUST 514 makes my PS3 chug and chug like a choo-choo train, heating up the room to unbearable levels while something like Uncharted, Last of Us, Bioshock: Infinite, or Call of Duty: MW 2 runs no problem without making my console burst into flames. An hour into DUST I have to shut it off because it is grinding but even doing a marathon session of beating Spec Ops: The Line in a 6 hour sitting caused zero problems for my black demon.
Being happy that Legion "looks more like the game that was advertised" you are completely accepting the bait and switch. "Play DUST 514, put money into it because it is going to have all these features!" So we did. Now they are telling us to wait and you are happy that Legion is coming to fulfill the promise that was supposed to be DUST. That... doesn't work for me.
The biggest insult with it is just that CCP just dropped this on the DUST community and didn't give ANY information. There were three DUST 514 presentations on Twitch, none of which applied to DUST. It took 15 minute into the Sandbox panel, which was 2 guys by the way, before it was clear what game was being talked about; Legion. The DUST 514 progression someone even asked "how much is for DUST and how much is for Legion?" only to hear "it is for Legion." (Kudos for that question by the way; same thing I wanted to ask).
Legion, assuming it is just DUST 514 on the PC, is a good thing. It sucks massively for console only guys in a way that I really, really feel for them: can't imagine how betrayed they feel over that. However, the game will advance better on PC. The problem is that Legion is not DUST 514 on the PC, at least not as far as has been announced. It is just a PC game that happens to use the DUST intellectual property.

However, what I cannot stomach is CCP's arrogance, hubris and smug betrayal of the entire DUST playerbase. This weekend has caused me to hate CCP and I pledge revenge.
*genuine slow clap of approval*
This is it. Legion might be cool and even "the right thing to do" (DUST should have always been on the PC) but how CCP handled this news... I have no words for the stunning lack of respect for us as customers.
