Look at the LIVE played presentation of Legion: Did that actually looks like an alpha?
Reskin of an existing map.
Reuse of existing art assets.
Low player count.
Yes, it looks like a prototype.
6 months to design one tree is a milestone that CCP should be very proud of.

Legion is in prototype stage, and looks better then dust. It only took them what, 3-5 months to create that much content? Clearly they are having an easier time with it then they do with dust.
First, looks better than Dust is not a high hurdle to clear.
Second, looks better than Dust running on a PC is not even a hurdle, it is an assumed step from not having to downscale the models for the PS3.
They better have an easier time. Those suits, tanks, most of the structures, and the basic map layout were already done for Dust. The only major additions to that map were on the skybox, some terrain detailing, one tree, some cargo containers on the bridge, and a couple of staircases. If THAT took 5 months, Legion will never be released.
But hey, getting 5 people to play on a scaled down version of a PS3 map is a HUGE step forward! Lets all get ready for Legion!
If you were impressed by the Legion demo, CCP loves you, because you have ZERO standards.

Can you honestly see the Legion footage, and then fail to piece together the puzzle of why they are stopping development on Dust and diverting the entire Shanghai team towards the development of Legion?
They could just as easily realized that with their contract with Sony, they needed to keep the Dust servers up for x amount of months at a loss and decided to attempt to recoup some of that loss by reusing as many of those assets as possible on a PC game.
There was nothing compelling about the Legion presentation that shows some major step forward from Dust. What did you see that made you think they had made some major leap forward?

By what part of the footage exactly made you think more was possible?
Please be specific. I see little to nothing of value in that video, especially as regards the developmental prowess of CCP.
I dismiss any CCP promises out of hand now, so I won't pretend to care about that part. But I am genuinely curious as to what parts of that video made you think that these same people could do something other than produce a perpetually second class title.

If "Legion" is produced and it strongly resembles Dust 514, Sony's lawyers will likely come forth to legally skull **** CCP.
I'll be sitting here with a cold beer and some popcorn watching it all go down, cause dis' gon be gud.
This x1000.
Most people seemed to have forgotten about it, but that is at least part of the problem with this whole deal, that Sony has a say in this to.
Anyone hip to the terms of the CCP/Sony deal as regards time frame? Most of us already assumed that Dust was "released" to start a clock on some exclusive deal with Sony.
For once I am hoping for the big company to come out and smash the little guy.

Regardless of whether or not PvE is possible on legion or dust, it's already been stated dust is not getting PvE. Legion will. Period. End of story. So your argument is moot point. But i do know for a fact that the ps3 lacks the capabilities of connecting a PC and PS3 along the same network easily. Again so you don't try to spin my words I said EASILY. The only game I know of that is a cross platform between PC and ps3-ps4 is ff14, and the ps3 is utter garbage. It's a joke. It had connection problems for almost 6 months after its Release, and it still does to this day. And this is from a company that has been working with Sony for years, developing the game on its only other platform for years, and still hasn't perfected it. How about you provide an argument based on my statements instead of ignoring everything that doesn't pander to your feeling of betrayal. But pf course by all means continue to cut my responses to a single sentence in an attempt to further whatever agenda you may have, that's your right. Even After all these posts of yours where you haven't added to the argument beyond you being disgruntled. Or better yet, just ask me another question google will answer for you. I'll be happy to oblige.
I hate to break it to you, but all that jibber jabber above did not respond at all to a direct question.
Because of that, I can only assume that you cannot provide a specific example and are just satisfied by CCP promises.
Shame on you for preparing yourself to be fooled again.
