You're clearly are under the impression that mediocrity is greatness. Halo sucked and so does Bungie. I know you Xbox players think it's the cat's ass and all, but that's only because it's all you've really had. Compared to the rest of the garbage on Xbox I see why you can be blinded by the average and underwhelming. I expected nothing more from an average developer, and I was right. I didn't buy this game because of who made it, I bought into the pre launch lies. Once I played it I recognized it as a Bungie offering, good mechanics and nothing else special. Your points are valid but Destiny is halo, completely average in all aspects.
