I have tons of hope for d2. I'm not holding my breath though. I have no desire to play.... I thought maybe the faction rally would ignite a desire to play but no. Sadly, the reason I have hope is because I am starting to believe activision purposely made bungie implement certain changes because they knew cod wasn't very good but if d2 only lasted a month they could grab $$$ from bored and bewildered gamers, then slowly implement changes to gather momentum for future DLC . Sadly, this world is all about $$$ anymore. We are merely cash cows... There isn't any company out there who puts their customers level of enjoyment or satisfaction ahead of profit. More and more I believe bungie has been led into a dark place by their involvement with activision.
