Here's the thing. A lot of what he is complaining about is content, which is probably gonna be released to us in expansions. Stop calling them DLC's, DLC and expansion are two very different things, ask any MMO gamer. Some features they may have broadcast in the year before launched were probably changed due to beta feedback or design choices. But guess what, a year before launch, most games get changed, sometimes drastically. It's the most high pressure time when developing a game, when their publishers are beating them with a stick to make deadlines and to increase their profits. A lot of advertised content we will see; Saturn, Mars, even a playable Reef area (can't wait for that one) willl be released for players sooner than you think. Upon release of the game, you could buy the first two expansions, one being released in December, and one a few months later. Which means, that a previous pot is probably right. Activision overrid bungie and made them change how the game was going to be originally released in order to secure a higher profit. What I'm more upset about is no global chat, fireteam chat when strikes are randomized, and a freaking LFG tool. The LFG tool doesn't have to be random, but don't force your players to troll the forums looking for a group, it breaks continuity of game play. But the feature in the game.

  • Gross return on maximum investment something most of these people complaining dont understand, its basic business and creating games is a business.

  • I agree, it is a business. Doesn't mean we can't be disapointed when something doesn't come as promised. But I think that within a year, we should have most of what Bungie was promising.

  • At least have online members of our declared clan show up on our roster. The clan I belong to is big enough that I should never lack people to play with. But I've played solo most of the time. And when I've been part of a fireteam, it's rarely been with members of my clan.

  • Rather, i think bungie hit a major crunch while dealing with staffing issues. Last i checked they had 46 positions open and advertised on their site. Something happened internally that left them scraping a game together out of disparate and unfinished bits to make a deadline. We'll see if things ever come back together properly.

  • This is a great point that maybe many would not take into consideration. Thanks for noticing this. I hope that this has influence over our game we have today. Versus the game we have being made the way it was because "the man upstairs" lied to us since e3 only because he wanted to take our $ and laugh at us. Great observation.
