5 - What do you mean "everybody wins?" Now Bungie has matchmaking set to match you with people with similar gear strength and character level depending on the playlist. Many game modes will remove "level advantages" but playlists like the "iron banner" will test your true skill and gear. Also, people caring only about their "K/D ratio is just human nature. if you don't go for the objective everyone suffers and that is something that bungie can't keep from happening if bad players choose to ignore the objective. 3- Matter of opinion if you like an "mmo" like leveling system. When you come back and wipe out enemies who once one shot killed you that lets you know just how far you've come and how much more powerful you have grown. Mddx141 said the rest well on this matter. 1- where did they ever lie? "customizable and flyable ships?" now they did say "customizable" but they NEVER said flyable. in fact they said that its just cosmetic and to show your team in the load screens and pre-game lobbies. For now, no space combat so they never lied about that. maybe when people asked "can you fly freely through space, "and they first said "no comment" you mistaken it for a "yes" when in fact they never said "yes" but they did later say that you can't fly freely with those things, just travel to the different planets at will. Also, they said that the customization system was NOT in the beta, and yet there were a bunch of different ships to choose from still, and many more in the full game. Now I don't care so much about the "turn back, 10 seconds" thing but that tends to be to prevent you from falling off the map or going somewhere that is incomplete, or leaving the multiplayer map. Now maybe they should have done something similar to what they did on "sandbox" IN halo 3 where some armed towers are waiting but given that they still give you a HUGE space to work with I actually don't mind it. Also, how is this designed for "casuals" and "bad kids?" First time though they intend for the game to be challenging and interesting. You are exploring worlds as well as fighting powerful enemies. Now I can see the challenge maybe fading a bit after you build up eventually, but initially it might be tough for "casuals" to survive in the campaign alone. It may have felt fairly easy to me on the beta missions, but Bungie taken the data from the Beta to heart and will improve upon everything. And the 10 year plan, bungie said they intend to release daily content for the next 10 years, and knowing them I KNOW they are going to try. We will have to wait and see how the game fairs but I have a feeling that if you listen to the reviews and watch lets plays after launch, you just MIGHT order the game again anyway later. Who knows, but the game seems very promising. more then any other game coming out any time soon, especially FPS's.
