You can blame Activision all you want (not saying some of this is not there fault) but in the end, Bungie devs are the ones who sold out in the first place. This isn't the same developer that brought us Halo. Hell, most of the original Bungie employees jumped ship and formed 343i and stuck it out with M$. This version of Bungie has made it very clear to everyone; they are concerned with money and appeasing Activisions every whim, first and foremost above all else. You can blame plenty of things on Activision, but please don't make excuses for a developer that only sees you as a cow to be milked dry. No one should be saying "poor Bungie". People should be saying "Poor fans", because ultimately, the fans are the ones who have to pay for BungieVisions current greed and ineptitude.
