There goes the only good thing about Halo.

Destiny lost me after I read this "The game's style has been described a first-person shooter that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements" on the wiki. Bungie is over rated anyway. And the sentence before it "Bungie has emphasized that the universe of Destiny will be "alive". Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers." Sounds like it could be a very problematic launch, and as interesting as it sounds, may even break the game at some point.

That guy was a decent composer though, I didnt care that much for halo, but its soundtrack was solid, i'll give it that.

Well, I for one, am glad that he passes the AnimeGamer101 test.

I knew you were a wise man Henry.

Absolutely gutted at this too, if it was done in the manner I am reading about. Who the fuck came up with this call? I mean is it the age old "big corporation buys company and tears it apart" type scenario? Started off with senior staff like Nathan Walpole and Marcus Letho leaving, then Joe Staten leaves and now Marty O Donnell. I mean those are two founding members of Bungee who arguably can be attributed to most of Halos success.
I will have a go at Destiny because at its spirit it still a proper Bungie game, but clearly it's the last as we know it. Perhaps all the guys will regroup under a new Dev studio, like the original Infinity Ward guys did with Respawn.
