It seems to me Rattati has done a better job of prioritizing what needs to be done with what we want to be done, and the resources he has to accomplish those things.

Thanks for expressing exactly my opinion on the matter.

There were devs before that went - e.g. - "Yeah, we want to fix the PLC soon" and not deliver for a year. Then Rattati takes the lead and I now run it almost all the time. Rattati delivers. That's what's different.

Covered that in the OP. Team True Grit was awesome and delivered but even they couldn't push out the features that were set as goals either. Rattati is amazing, don't get me wrong, but it's important to remember that he still has to go to someone above him to get certain things done.

But most of this is just fluff anyway because it doesn't even matter to the longevity of the experience. All the features in the world wouldn't matter for Dust 514 because it's on a dying console and they're completely tight lipped about Project Legion, which might as well be vaporware until that changes.

A lot of the stuff for the roadmap is tentative. I assume some of the stuff will be pushed back at some point. A lot of the original( as in the developers) team isn't even there anymore and I don't think they got that much people to replace a lot of the old positions. Try to find the credits for the Dust 514 team and search some of them . The creative director left a while ago. I believe you are right to ask these questions because if you looked; Dust did not get much content besides a few guns, dropsuits , a few modules, a few maps, and a few pieces of equipment . With a smaller team and possibly a tighter budget now some of the stuff from the roadmap could be pushed back. Additionally it could be mean a shift of direction; CCP kinda of makes the develops switch between projects.
