I get what you're saying, and I don't necessarily disagree with it either. I also feel pretty confident that Bungie will lean more towards realistic anatomy like you're hoping.
With all of this in mind, though, like others have mentioned, sex sells. It sells pretty well, and if for some reason, Bungie finds that sales look better if they put in ridiculous armor that's "sexy" after release than if they, instead, use realistic anatomy for their women characters, I'm not going to crucify them. Making money is awesome.
Making more money is awesome...er. I know personally I could give a damn about the size of breasts on a video game character.
Hey, at least we're not Japan.

Making money is awesome, sure. But if you're desperate enough to throw in sex appeal where it's not needed or doesn't make sense, then your game might have some bigger issues (this isn't true for all cases. Sometimes designers are just dumb or execs just want boobs). I get why you might not care either way, but as part of a demographic that's perpetually marginalized and passed off as merely "added bonus" to game sales, I'd rather say something.

When I say I could give a damn about the size of breasts on a video game character, I mean that I'm in the group that would rather not give female characters larger breasts. I should have been clearer.

I lack coffee and can't interpret things right now. My bad.
