I think a lot of players are really pissed with Bungie, and for good reason. They falsely advertised, and kind of screw us over on a regular basis.
HOWEVER, maybe it's not Bungie we should be pusses with. Bungie made Halo. Halo was sick. Halo kicked ass. Halo was ridiculously successful, had an amazing story, and was loved by thousands of fans.
So what's the difference between them and now? Activision.
Right now, Bungie is the one who's name is plastered on everything, while Activision is kind sitting in the background with a string tied around Bungies goodies. Whatever Bungie comes up with, they have to pass by Activision.
Now think of it from Activision's point of view, whether the game is good or not, they still rake in cash from the sales, Bungie will take the fall in reputation if it sucks, AND furthermore if it does suck and people stop playing, Activision will profit from It still, by releasing a new CoD. The buttsucking of Destiny will drive people back to CoD, and then Activision won't have to split the profits with Bungie.
I think Activision has Bungie by the balls, and Bungie is going to take the fall for it.
Now Bungie is partly to blame for partnering with the makers of CoD (not to rip on CoD) but still, Activision is more than likely playing a bigger role in this than we all think.
Edit 1. Thanks for all the feedback! A lot of constructive comments going on, keep it up!
Edit 2: so apparently the crew from Bungie that actually worked on Halo quit Bungie halfway through the making of destiny and went back to the studio that bought out Halo (343 or 434?)
Also, the lead story writer for the game halfway through as well. It's speculated that the reason he left is that Activision wanted Bungie to cut dice a lot of the game up into pieces instead of selling it all together. He didn't want to deal with people destroying the story.
Clearly Activision is Fu**ing everything up right now. They once had a good reason to be afraid of Destiny, it would have taken down CoD but not anymore.
Edit 3: you may have see this video but here it is anyway, it talks a lot about some of the reasons destiny may have turned out the pi** poor way it did

Makes sense. I have been thinking the same thing for a while now. Activision is money grubbing, almost as much (or more than) EA and Ubisoft. Hate to see Bungie and Destiny shackled to them.
