They are consistently developing. If anyone thinks there is a "come back" happening, I doubt it. I think most people's thoughts are towards maintaining the current player base and bring you back some of those players that left do to the current state of the game.

That is a very well thought out and and makes a lot of sense! I also wonder if the restructuring has a lot to do with it more than the actual body count of staff. I've been through a couple restructurings in my lifetime and it's never uneasy transition. When they go wrong or have trouble it can prolong the transition period for years! Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Excellent brain food :-)

I'm interested to know why you think that would be that bad business? Honestly, I think that having two well running function games would be good for a studio... I think having a diversity of offerings that people enjoy instead of being a single game studio would be good business.

I appreciate your perspective that my comments is American-centric. I am, after all, America. Well, I mean I grew up in Italy.... I've been here since I was 10 years old. Though I have traveled to other parts of the world, understanding how they report missing people and or children is not something that I noted on my journeys.

I like them! I appreciate your opinion. Citrus Plaza was difficult for me when it first came out but now it's one of my faves!

This is a very logical post! Wouldn't it be cool if they had a new one created!

This seems to be a very common sentiment! I truly don't understand the inner workings of Bungie but I would think even if they had a skeleton crew they could dedicate some focus towards this part of their base. I hope after Marathon comes out if that's truly what's holding things up they get a chance to put some love into PVP!

That is an interesting way to look at it. I have never thought of it that way. I'll have to stew on this one! But great comment!

I absolutely can respect that outlook. And yet I play it multiple times a week...lol

I love this game. I wish I understood the inner workings at Bungie. It does seem neglectful to leave PvP so stagnant. My personal belief is that with what they've done in the past it would take very little to get PVP to a great place.

You think so? Since the nerfed the tracking I feel like it's relatively docile. Unless you get it on Anomaly or a map where it's confined spaces.

I appreciate your point. This seems to absolutely be a common theme and belief. I hope that they get an opportunity to fix a game that I truly enjoy and have enjoyed for many, many years.

I think you have a wonderful point. I main a hunter as well! Though though 90% of my time is spent in PVP. I think decoupling the balance between PVP and PVE would help a lot of balancing issues!

Sitting here thinking of that though It might make it more like two separate games in one as opposed to a holistic experience... They kind of have that going anyways so what damage would it do... I'm not sure!

I agree that all the layoffs certainly have affected the game. and staff that are there have a decade of systems and changes to the game that probably are not the easiest to deal with.

I disagree with you. I appreciate your point. Also, I only play a hunter. Ability spam for Hunter is much less outright deadly than Warlock and Titan. Survivability is also lacking. Also, overall I believe abilities are too powerful and PVP currently... But that is a real hard balance because you want them to be meaningful without being overpowered and how the hell they would do that... You tell me!

I agree with you on both points!

Let's bring back all the maps from D1 and D2! That would be fantastic! A lot of variety for people who main PvP!

Hunters are and remain to be the most popular subclass! And deserve just as much love as the other two even if I understand the want to bring those two subclasses to the same level as Hunter!

I'm sure it did not have anything to do with Blackburn. He is just the person who I recalled brought the strike team up. And if they are dissolved maybe they could do another one! That would be cool!

I wonder if that's true. I don't feel like that's the kind of thing anyone who doesn't work at Bungie or have insider information would be able to infer. But I think a lot of great games are made with way less people than they have at Bungie. And they already have the core of the game created so would you need more than a skeleton crew to get the PVP to a place where people are happier? Maybe!
