Whether bungie wants to admit it or not they did make a small version of a mmo. The fact they made the loot system the way they did screams mmo to me. This game is one of those love/hate relationships that everyone has. It gameplay is superb, pvp is decent, but the thing we all expected from bungie was a great story but they didn't deliver in that part of any kind of game you play. It just feels so slapped together and having to leave the game to get back story is kinda of a pain. It was a nifty idea but it should be in the game also.
