First, I apologize, as I do not intend to intentionally sway your opinions nor your expectations. My comment states my justification of why such features have not been present, and mine alone. I understand that your expectations differ from mine, as we have different consumer needs. I apologize for not making that clear, but have now done so. As for this title of being an apologist, I politely disagree. I have a standard for what Bungie is capable of from what I have seen them do in the past, and the new-found potential that they have in being a separate developer. I believe this game will be great, and though it will affect you exponentially more than me, split screen will not make the difference to me. I respect your views and how they differ from mine.
