I can't even. As much as I'd like to see the game excel, I can't stomach the thought anymore. It's good to see that Marty won though. Hopefully with some of his well-deserved funds he can build up his own studios, Highwire Games (or whatever it's called).
So, leave Microsoft's dorky-looking, firm leash for Activi$ion's barbed, suffocating leash. And then suck up to the leash's holder. Makes sense.

I've been a Bungie fan since before Halo, I've always loved reading about the culture Bungie has with the pentathlons and Bungie day and the relationship with the fans, and when they left Microsoft I was so pumped for the direction they were heading, and even when they signed with crooked ass Activision I trusted that they knew what they were doing and would never get into bed with a company like that unless they were 100% sure that they could control content. Apparently I was wrong. I always had this vision of Bungie as being this family of talented people that would always be together making awesome stuff, but since the MS split it feels like we've seen a steady exodus of top Bungie people, and the firing of Marty took the cake. I've said this before, I don't know what title Jason Jones holds, but he should be in charge of he isn't already, because at this rate those that are in charge are going to ruin the company, because Bungie is supposed to be about more than just making money.
