That's a really good way of putting it. And I think you're right, something is amiss here. This game was teased right under our noses all the way back in 2009 with Halo 3: ODST. The tease had Earth with the Traveler over it and the text "Destiny awaits". Clearly they knew what they were doing back then, they knew where the game was going and they had so much time until Destiny's release date that I find the lack of content and story utterly dumbfounding. Halo is my favorite video have franchise and I know... or I should say I thought bungie was more capable than this. I wish I knew the inner workings, what really happened, why Marty was fired, etc. Lol
