I really hate Activision. They, along with EA, need to be purged from this world.

Is it me, or did anyone else kinda get the feeling from that article that Bungie gave up its independence again..
The contract also gives Bungie the freedom to put five percent of its staff to work on a prototype for a new game referred to as "Marathon," with the team size allowed to grow after certain operating income. There are also rules governing how much of the company's staff can work on Bungie.Net, Halo Reach DLC and other projects.
You know what this sounds like? Bioware and ME3. We all know how that turned out. I agree with you. That statement sounds like Bungie will just be told what to do and will deliver the typical half-ass game because of what Activision dictates.
