Thank you for saying that; I asked for people's opinion on Bungie's next game not halo reach. I hate how people were turn just any forum into a hate forum no matter what it is.
As I said, there is a difference between attempting a well-reasoned debate of another's opinion and a "hate-fest." But I digress, and I do apologize for getting so incredibly off topic.
On the discussion at hand:
Would I love to see something of Destiny come out at E3 this year? Sure. But SHOULD Bungie do it? I really can't say. If I knew how far along in this project they were and how large the project was, I could make a more sound judgement. I have to say that they should, but if, and ONLY if, they are ready to end the blackout they have us in. That would signify that the game is near completion and they are satisfied enough with it to let us begin to understand what we're dealing with.
I find that the worst phase of pre-release buildup is "teaser time," when you're given teaser trailers and nondescript images but actually have nothing of substance to look at. It gives just enough info for people to start speculating wildly, but not enough for any of that speculation to have real basis. I remember when this happened with Reach; we had nothing but the teaser trailer and the silhouette image of (what we'd later learn was) Noble team, and yet people came up with THOUSANDS of threads claiming that they had "proof" of this thing or that. It was equivalent to a flooded wasteland; chock full of nothing of value.
I like where we are now. People don't know anything, so the only people who come up with things are actual theorists, and they don't waste anyone's time by trying to say that they've proved anything or that they even KNOW anything. They're just seeing connections and drawing rather educated conclusions, and people who don't want to take that kind of time keep their mouths shut. I also like it when we actually have information to work with, because although it allows for more speculation than our current blackout phase, the speculation actually has basis, and you can have real discussion and debate.
