Stop blindly defending what happened please? It's beyond ignorant at this point. If you've watched the ViDoc's, played the game and have working brain cells it doesn't take much to see that the story has been chopped to bits. They sold shirts for two factions that didn't even make the launch disc. They either ran out of time and Activision forced them to launch an incomplete product or it was intentionally done to create more revenue off of DLC and the story suffered because of that. I love a lot the aspects of this game. The core gameplay is tight and fluid. The graphics are amazing and make the unbelievable skyboxes and environmental details pop. But the story is a disappointment in its current form. I will continue to support Bungie's work, I bought the Limited edition, so I'll be playing through the DLC. But as a consumer my expectations have been tempered.
