Why are people treating this game as if it had a pulse? The game is "active" for reasons that are plain to see. If it were dead like people claim it to be then the bungie team would stop putting updates up (as crappy as they are) and the attention they put into the game would not be there. Bungie has made their money and if it were dead they wouldn't continue to invest in the game because they have a good enough reputation to leave it and start up a new project. Grow up kiddies look at it from a business point of view. X)
