actually from what has been reported bungie had a killer game with trading and gambling for gear and it even had an awesome story line and that was what was hyped but activision market tested it with a bunch of 10 year old cod players and they could not understand the story and the teen rating meant the gambling was out and so the axe came down hard. i still think the lead writer who had been there since halo ragequit because of it but that is not confirmed or even talked about. the publisher has the power these days. man i am getting depressed talking about this myself. time to blow the heads off a few dregs in honor of the hell bungie had to go through to give us this much! <3 you guys
