[quote]He has been fired by the company and the company will not take him back if a few hundred, or even a few thousand fans say so.[/quote]
WE are the employers. WE the consumer, pay them. WE do tell them what to do, or they fall. Xbox One, Halo 4, sound familiar?
[quote]3. Future Destiny games will have the same sound as this one.
I'm a composer, so I know a bit about this. It is very easy to create new music in the same vein as a composer you've never even spoken to. It is easy to do this and still incorporate your own style and personal tweaks. Additionally, future titles will include the same major themes as the first, so not a lot of new writing will occur.[/quote]
Yeah, tell that to the Bnet Forum members, who saw the disaster of Halo 4. Tell us that a different composer = the same greatness. No, you haven't a single clue what you mean.
[quote]5. You do not need to know the reason.[/quote]
[quote]6. Bungie did not wrong you.[/quote]
Yes we do and Yes they did.
[quote]7. Bungie is not dissolving, or folding, or falling apart because two people left.[/quote]
One person left. The other was fired. Not to mention these were the two best, These guys are the reason many of us are here today, on Bnet. Because they have been the best at what they do, now that magic has left the walls of Bungie. Bungie has become about money, not the consumer, and it is going to crumble Bungie just like it has with every last company to make that move.

[quote]WE are the employers. WE the consumer, pay them. WE do tell them what to do, or they fall. Xbox One, Halo 4, sound familiar?.[/quote]Halo 4 was microsoft's best selling video game property ever. Yes, I'm pissed about that, but I'm afraid the masses don't generally respect artistic integrity. I hated Halo 4 and I wish Marty wasn't gone, but the OP is right. They made the decision to fire him after extended consideration, and whether we agree with their priorities or not I don't think these kinds of decisions are reversed in the professional world. It's like hoping your divorced parents get back together; divorce sucks, but it's not like throwing a tantrum's gonna make your parents get along again. We all have to be adults here. While we may never know why it happened (that being merely professional courtesy; "without cause" just means "as opposed to with cause" and it's likely that Marty knows or has a very good idea as to what led to his dismissal), suffice to say they've gone separate ways and there's no changing that. Someone of Marty's caliber is going to do just fine finding work somewhere where perhaps compositional talent is a little higher on the budget.

[quote]Halo 4 was microsoft's best selling video game property ever.[/quote] [quote]I hated Halo 4[/quote] Hurrdurr the fans bought it and saw that it was shit, and the game sent to shit in 6 months time.

All my friends loved it. I don't consider [i] the fans [/i] as some generalized entity in solidarity with my opinion. Hence the call for maturity, even if I'm upset about the loss of Marty and not excited with what I've heard of Destiny.
-
I literally cringed reading what you wrote.

[quote]Yeah, tell that to the Bnet Forum members, who saw the disaster of Halo 4. Tell us that a different composer = the same greatness. No, you haven't a single clue what you mean.[/quote] and what if i agree with every point you've made except this one?
-
Then deal with it but don't fret. Halo 4's soundtracks were not bad, they just didn't match Halo what-so-ever. Only Marty can make the Marty Magic.
-
*shrug* they matched halo to me, and i loved them every bit as much as the previous halos' soundtracks. that being said, i definitely agree with you there. while i loved the outside contributions in halo 4, only marty makes the [i]bungie[/i] magic. this company has lost a part of its soul.
-
part? Joe is gone. He was the story, he was the captivation and idolization of Bungie, he was the magic and soul abroad Bungie greatness. Now Marty is gone. Marty was the Sound of Bungie. You cannot say Bungie without feeling the perfection Marty gave. Bungie has lost a vast majority of it's soul. Bungie has stopped being about us, and become about money. I am incredibly crushed by this. Bungie was my childhood and my passion. I am unspeakably upset to see they have changed, but I am not angered to see this new abomination fall.
-
If Staten and O'Donnell were doing their job well, they would have passed along every bit of soul and heart they had in Bungie. It would be ridiculous for us to assume that Bungie is led by 4-5 passionate people with the other ~500 being money-hungry, mindless drones slaving away over a pay-2-win game. It sucks that Bungie let go of O'Donnell, and it may even be for a terrible reason, but that does not mean that there aren't several hundred people pouring their sweat and blood into this game for us. Destiny lives on.

You've gone so incoherent that I don't even.
-
Please inform me what you don't understand so I can simplify it for you.
-
i know exactly how you feel, but i wouldn't wish anything bad on newbungie. i just hope the older members have great futures ahead of them, and that someday, somewhere, we might get some devs that provide just what they did again.
-
If the heart of what Bungie was is gone, then may what it has become fall.

... oookay then
