...so what the hell happened?
Bungie tested their servers extensively in the Beta. Not counting the times where they were actively running tests, simulated lag or whatever they were doing, I never, as in not ONCE did I get disconnected in all my time playing the Beta.
Yet the final game is populated with all manner of ghastly creatures and wild animals yanking the Ethernet cable from it's socket, metaphorically speaking; baboons and bees, centipedes and caterpillars, jackrabbits and jackasses, elks and emus... what the hell happened between the Beta and the final game to cause this? is it just there's more people online, or did Bungie break something in the weeks leading up to release?

There was also a hell of alot less people playing the beta too, and alot less content being streamed
