This post certainly addresses many whiners here but completely glosses over the valid criticisms of this game. Kudos to you 300+ hour maniacs but I've only spent about 48 hours and I'm already a little bored - only 11 of those hours were story missions and that's because I took my time. I thought about getting online last night but found little motivation to grind for gear that I can't really use anywhere except to repeat the same missions. If the game world was more open I would spend time exploring (or rather if there was more to discover in the world that currently is there). If there was a bigger reason to grind, perhaps Iron Banner or a larger more epic story to uncover, I would log on and continue the fight. Without those motivations the endgame content is little more than earning prestige 10 and diamond encrusted sniper rifles on COD. But I didn't want to buy another COD... The game is certainly good in what it does but unfortunately I purchased it for what it should have been. I have a small glimmer of hope (pun intended) that Bungie will rectify the situation over time but I can't justify buying additional content and spending the little free time I have until that actually happens. Patience and faith in Bungie have very little to do with that decision. My free time will now be spent primarily on other things. I'll follow Bungie's updates and log on every so often but...they could have had me almost every day.
