Neither was Skyrim, or Oblivion, or Red Dead redemption, or any single player RPG I can think of (given that they were single player) and they all had many of these qualities.

This hasnt got a town feel about it there is not very much of a safe haven in this game to have nice stuff.. This is war pure war . You dont see this in say battlefield or god help me i ahve to say cod ... this isnt about making your own wealth or happiness, its about survival.. You cant really go out and be your own lerson considering the tower is the last place in the universe ... I am roughly guessing why there aint much of what you mentioned in the game but hey ho there may be alot of the stuff was locked to it being beta , i hope the tower gets alot bigger

I wouldn't really call this a war. 1 guardian can clear out the Cosmodrome and there are hundreds of thousands running around. Bungie, clearly, doesn't know much about creating immersive gameplay. Opening up the tower and adding weather effects would be small step forward.

Shuddup .. i made this post over a year ago .. get a life
