It is an insult to the original team of talented and ambitious artists and developers that created the halo series.
It hurts me to see the bungie name insulted so much on these forums, because this is not bungie anymore. Back in 2010 Activision just came in and completely destroyed everything bungie stood for. Don't even try to deny it, why do you think most of the developers quit to make ******* indie games? Because thats how much they actually are fed up with the bullshit of these big publishers!
Everything from the lowbrow unimaginative story to things like tokens and loot/xp cooldowns (with a lot in between) shows that noone there actually REALLY cares about this game.
Please let us not disrespect the real bungie's legacy and from now on call this Bungievision or just simply Activision, because thats what it is.

Bungie spent a long time banking on their reputation from Halo only to find out reputation doesn't mean shit when you lose half your employees who made the organization a whole. As cheesy as it sounds companies are like bodies: they are made up of lots of people/cells and when you lose the ones who do the best work the body dies. Modern bungie seems to be full of Millennials who never really played anything fun other than halo as it was their first game and are under the thumb of my generation (gen x) who apparently never played fun games when they were kids.
