What happened to the rest of the world and all of the planets full of people, if the world's at eight billion now the population of the fUture this game is in would be staggering. It's like the aliens ate them all or something, the only thing left I found is a skeleton here or there. I really hope the story isn't lack luster or boring. I loved Halo and have hope Bungie has made a great story but with the MMO and RPG elements I'm sure it would be hard to accomplish with all of the other things you're trying to do. Still I haven't played the whole story but really hope it's a great one and not just cut scenes!
