I only have two qualms w/ all this fancy foliage.
One: Physics enabled grass and "decoration" could bog down the hardware a little. Don't get me wrong, I think it'll look awesome and add to the experience, but personally I'd rather have a smoothly running game than grass that sways in the "wind" (figuratively speaking). However, I'm not too terribly worried about this one because I trust bungie will be able too get it all hammered down while still running smoothly. It would just suck to lose some framerate or something to bloody grass... and I'm going nowhere w/ this ramble so I'll move on...
Two: I hope to hell it's not like the grass in Oblivion. Seriously, if you drop something in Oblivion's grass, it's so hard to find that it's pretty much gone... I can hear MP moments right now...
Player1: Dude, you got the sniper rifle?
Player2: Yeah, it's over there... I just dropped it so I could... um... uh oh...
Player1: YOU DROPPED IT! Well, thanks, we're screwed now...
Lawl... I can see it now... two guys getting sniped while rummaging through bushes... :)
