Many of your points are accurate enough, agreeable even, but in my opinion, not worth sorting. They've a record for fixing what's not broke, and leaving behind yet more things that weren't broke.
IMO, they started with a wheel, then tried to replace it with a box with 9 sides because for some reason, they thought it would roll smoother....
I see some people that just recently "met" me on the forums think I'm just disagreeable to every idea that comes along.
It's just that many of those idea's aren't necessarily in the best interest of the public(optimatch forum). Some of those people think that a different opinion is a direct threat to their validation as a human being also.
In the reach forum as well, so so many ridiculous idea's, but some have merit.
IMO, I'm all for carrying forward what works, and only fixing what's actually broken, then adding in a bit of some new stuff for variety and flexibility.
There's just such a poor record for doing so, that a lot of kids think "change is good" and will post the most ludicrous threads here in the reach forum.
They don't understand the meaning of the word integrity, and in my opinion Bungie, as a whole, does no go very far above many of the "cool idea" kids here as far as enlightenment in that area.
Integrity
Stability
Reliability
Remaining Faithful
Some of the most important Company/Customer relative morals that are needed between a dev and a dedicated audience.
Those have shown to be foggy things in Bungie's sense of things, but I'm hoping they'll come around a bit for Reach and return to some of the things that made CE great, instead of seeming to start fresh in the scope of balance and purpose. They didn't put out a sequel to CE, they rebuilt it, then rinsed and repeated, all the way through ODST.
Meh...I'm ranting again. I just find saying "they lack integrity" to be wholly inadequate.
