I must say that the original story looked 10 times better, also, I completely agree with you when you say that you felt like we had little impact on the game. I don't feel like I really did much to help the cause of the guardians, but I also never really felt a true danger at the tower. I also never saw anything become of my achievements, which was upsetting. As for everyone coming up with these ideas, these things take a long time to brew up! We live in an instant gratitude world where we think that we can just get these things! These ideas would take a long time to develop, and what I think Bungie is starting to realize is, they focused heavily on sculpting the world, but never putting too much content into it. Eventually, they will fix this. I just don't like seeing how everyone is expecting Bungie to do all these things at once, and yes, I do believe that they are listening. They may have their list of importance a little backwards (I.e. Making the atheon teleport random instead of fixing the portals or the various other bugs in the game), but they will get to them eventually. Also, I do not believe that the Atheon push should be considered a bug. A bug is more of an issue or glitch that gets into a game that affects the game in an adverse way and wasn't intended (I.e. Clipping). Bungie never took into account their AI falling off the ledge, therefore they never put anything into the game to stop it. Therefore it isn't a bug. However, this needed fixing. It wasn't a bug fix, but rather an implementation of a "baby bumper" to stop the AI from falling inevitably to it's death. That being said, I believe that Bungie didn't release a full game. I also believe that they should have stuck to the original story. I am a lifetime Bungie fan since the original Halo, and I was glad to see them change things up. However, they did not execute 100%. Over the next few years, this game could become everything that we initially expected out of bungie. Maybe this game will expand to eventually be four times it's original size. Only then do I think that most of these ideas that a lot of people have can be implemented. Don't get me wrong, they are a lot of really great ideas, but you can't expect them to implement your ideas when the game has only been out a few months. Thanks to everybody who takes the time to read the post.
