Etc. Isn't an acceptable answer. The game play is awesome. The maps are awesome. The way it's designed so I can constantly add to my current story is awesome. The story IS awsome ( but I won't deny that they did a terrible job at giving us a means to dive into the story). The fact that I get to interact with other living people randomly all the time is awesome. It's not as bad as you want to believe, and so freaking what if you go on bungie.net and meet a bunch of people loyal to bungie. I don't go on Chevrolet.com to meet ford people.
