Destiny was in the works since ODST was MADE, they had time to do more then what it is now.
Plenty of time.

Oh I see you're an expert on the ins and outs of product development - managing projects and the complexities of developing software! Fantastic well done you

Obviously neither are you. Better, new IPs came out in less the time than bungie. First hint was in ODST's posters, which means prior to 2009 it was in concept and design. 5 years. Bungie and Mac first announced Halo as an RTS in 1999, and was then revealed as a third person shooter in 2000, then released as a first person shooter in 2001. Two years it took to create the epic we know as halo. In a ten year span the created Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, and Halo Reach. They had 5 years longer than they did on Halo, a bigger team, more resources and more money. Your point, sir is invalid.

One more thing is that was more than ten years ago.. These games are far more complex than blocky old halo ce
-
Also once they had the halo engine and format it takes a lot less time to build a game so that point is completely invalid

Halo is good I agree but not nearly on the same scale as this game - the sever infrastructure to support an always online community of 3.2 million a day? Brand new mechanics for bungie which would have taken masses of engine coding and refinements. A huge playable area with detailed skyboxes textures and structures. I could go on but I won't. This game is more than halo was. Halo was an epic but also a linear story with no customisation etc.

If what you are saying is meant to defend Bungie and criticize the comment, I would like to compare the quality of this game to other games that had less budget and less time that still made an overall better game. You may say that none of us "know how to make a game" or anything relating to that, however, I don't know how to make a car, but I can tell when a car is better designed and took less time to release than another one with a higher price and longer build time. If Bungie spent the amount of money and time they say they did in this game. Then it should surely be considered better than many other games with less of each correct?
