You can put them a way off and then drift to your intended target. This was really exciting for assaulting objectives because you could drop a strike team right on top of them.

Any chance we can see video or somthing to back this up? Legion has every chance to be awsome but i kinda feel i need to see it before a believe it. This is my poor bait attempt at seeing footage :-P

Can we have a video? Please? Pretty pretty pretty please with honeyed lamb on top? I'll cut my wrists for all powerful Wolfman - I'll carve your name in my flesh JUST GIVE US A VIDEO PLEASE I NEED MY FIX MAN 
Imo these are fair requests, reason being that the real question about Legion isn't graphics or game design features, but the basic fps movement, control and environment interaction mechanics.
This is the area where CCP failed hardest, basically defeated by the technical difficulties of producing a shooter, let alone one that handles well enough to be a positive and enjoyable experience.
This is what everybody in the industry is waiting to see. Failure here killed DUST and will kill Legion. Let's take a peek at the foundations before we spend another handful of years building a house on sand that ends up wasting everyboy's time when it comes down.
I know that sounds harsh, but it is entirely reasonable given where we've been and are, again, today.
