Guys, can I just point out that it seems WAY more likely that this was a decision made by Activision. You know, the guys who PUBLISHED the damn game! This kind of bullshit is almost like standard operating procedure for these douchebags. A lot of people think that the publisher has little to no say in the development of the game, but that couldn't be further from the truth. As the publisher is the one that funds the development of the game, they have quite a bit of say in what does and does not go into the game. So stop bashing on Bungie and start prying at Activision for answers. Granted, they'll probably give you a load of bullshit, but it's better than bitching at people who couldn't do jack shit about it.
