I’m surprised. I was expecting there to be text in black. And I have no problem with being mean when it is deserved. Bungie delivered an incomplete game that was broken. So did 343, but I don’t see Bungie getting ripped apart.

I agree so effing much.

God…I love you right now…

Please don’t take that the wrong way.

Bungie hating. Logical Bungie hating at that! Very rare indeed.

I wish Halo was out…I want a competitive game…I’m tired of all these -Yoinking!- casual games…

Anger aside…I really dislike how Spongie fans stick up for destiny…I go to Bungie.net for laughs.

How do you think 343i gave us half a game? I’m just curious.

I’m sorry if I sound upset…I hate Destiny but I bought into the hype AND I bought digital…

Where to start…

At launch, we could go up to SR70 and had to wait 3 months before we could go up again which they did that every two weeks. Half of Spartan Ops was missing and requires Gold for no good reason at all.

During the course of its lifetime, playlists that have commendations have disappeared for periods of time. I’m not going to gloss over the achievement problems. The DLC is nearly impossible to access outside of Squad DLC which is now gone. The Champion’s Bundle armor doesn’t work with Spartans Ops. So our DLC has been limited, the achievements limited, the whole custom games mess, and no campaign theater. To top it off, none of these problems are going to be fixed because Halo 4 is on MCC where the DLC , Spartan Ops download, and most likely achievement issues will be resolved. So the 360 version was basically sent to die to prepare for MCC.

And all of this isn’t even touching upon gameplay.

Continue, please?

That sounds sarcastic but it is not.

Hey now, blanket statements aren’t cool. If you’re going to put your opinion forward and want people to acknowledge it positively, try being a little more positive yourself. The way you put your opinion forward doesn’t exactly leave a lot of room for agreement or discussion (judging by your recent posts).

> How do you think 343i gave us half a game? I’m just curious.

Just to add to Yiaz’s list, they didn’t have the fileshare working until at least three months after release, which I attribute to part of what killed the Forge community.

Gameplay: Everything with vehicles, unless it comes with a preset loadout, is ruined thanks to Plasma Pistol + Plasma Grenade combo. In Heavies, it isn’t as bad because most people are in vehicles, but everything else is ruined. Getting rid of jacking the back of Scorpions was completely pointless because the Scorpion is more vulnerable then ever now thanks to that combo. Actually this is my main complaint with gameplay. Other nitpicks are Sprint and Ordinance. In reach, Sprint was optional so I never really saw the argument of “your opponent runs away”. In Halo 4 I see it all over the damn place and it is frustrating. Ordinance added more power weapons then their needed to be and power ups should be map pick ups like they used to be. Believe it or not, Forerunner weapons (aside from Boltshot) were incorporated very well. Binary Snipers is a wonderful gametype because it works more like a sniper should. You shoot, move, shoot, move. If you don’t they find and kill you. Regular Snipers is just see who can hide the best and stay there the longest.

Smash Bros 3DS has sold 2.8 million units worldwide also

Why is Destiny so bad!?

> Why is Destiny so bad!?

i don’t thinks its bad just a HUGE letdown from someone like bungie.

I love living in norway! money money money!!

> The Halo community is frustrating now, you’re all ignorant to opinion.

What’s your problem lately?

> Why is Destiny so bad!?

It’s Fun. IMO but it’s more what you want out of a game. I LOVE Halo ODST, Walking around just shooting aliens, Nice piece of music and just clear your head for a minute.

Destiny is the same in a sort of way, You just don’t get a nice story like ODST had, Story wise, It’s crap. Bungie said that would evolve so I’m just waiting. But if it doesn’t improve, No. Then I’m not buying the next one

Will you buy the paid DLC for story?

First see a trailer, a walkthrough, But one without somebody’s opinion in the background. I’d like to decide for myself

> Why is Destiny so bad!?

For now I’m going to blame activision. I have a feeling this isn’t the game bungie wanted to ship, but Activision said “well you’re doing DLC anyway, might as well put the entire plot there instead to keep them coming back for more. What’s that, character development? NO NO NO. We will SELL them character development. Later. When my pockets are already lined with cash.”

… or bungie dropped the ball, who’s to say.

Maybe, but they had to know what they were getting into when they went with the Lords Of Darkness.

Didn’t Activision give them full creative rights?
