 		[Meta] Stop whining about ilb
all i have seen since the begging of this game is how this game is nothing like ilb. Guess what folks ilb was made by a company devoted to alternate reality games. These people specialize in making games such as ilb to market different events. Bungie specializes in making real awesome shooters, not viral games for there fans. They dont need to in order to put food on the table. They could just take there paycheck for making halo 3, which is going to be quite large, and call it a day. Instead a few people who really care about the community devoted to bungie got together and created this nice little timewaster. So what if its not like ILB, it shouldnt be quit your whining about it they never had to do this for us to begin with, dont make them wish they just left us hanging until it launched.

 		Cute theory, yet Bungie have been the "taunt the customer in new and excitingly humourous ways" thing for a long time. ILB's was their viral marketing magnum opus but they are no stranger to this, just look at old communications between them and the fans during the nineties. Fansites for the older games are a good place to start.

I do however agree with you on one fact. People comparing this to ILB is getting old. Apples/Oranges.

Look, yeah ILB was fantastic, but just because this isn't cutting the mustard for you is no reason to say "but that was so much better" so what? IRIS has been interesting but the damper on IRIS for me hasn't been so much any fault with the game, rather the people who expect the moon because of something unrelated and are dissapointed because it's not trying to match their expectations.

the guys and gals at bungie like to see us squirm and search for the smallest piece of info, and when we get it we rape the shit out of it until we cant get nething else out of it.

i think its fun and funny. gives me sumthing to do while waiting for H3 to come out......or at least Bioshock lol
