I usually stay away from the usual "Bungie lied to us" topics because it usually refers to pre-release footage or articles. I fully understand that games, and the companies that make/distribute them, go through many changes during a long development cycle. An extreme example of this being Duke Nukem Forever. (jeez) However this First Mission was in the final product and displays just how engaging the story could have been. If you book end it with the game mechanics found only in the Raids you have yourself a novel with an intriguing opening paragraph and an epic final battle, but with little substance in between. If cut scenes ignore the rest of the Fire Team anyway, why isnt this cinematic tone carried throughout the game? If platforming, holding activation plates, opening portals, destroying key structures/enemies (oracles) and relics exist in the Raids, why is none of it used to break up the repetitive Guard the Ghost segments? The strangest part is that dinklebot yells for the Guardians to protect him but is never actually in any danger because he's intangible to enemies. That small part on the moon where you retrieve a dead ghost has a grimorie card detailing it's torture and self sacrifice. WHY DA FK ISN'T DAT IN DA MAIN STORY! Et hem, I digress. Great Topic my friend. Bump
