The Halo games were childhood defining for me, only competing with Ocarina of Time and the Pokemon gameboy games.

Bungie was the only reason i rushed out to buy the first destiny and I was disappointed with what I got, so I definitely wont be rushing out to get destiny 2.

Very cool episode and yeah I'm a fan of Bungie because of Halo and Destiny. I really enjoyed Destiny but was disappointed with the lack of in-game storytelling however Destiny 2 looks to fix this so I'm very much looking forward to it.

Once upon a time, Bungie was a good studio. Then Activision happened.

The end.

The reality is legacy means little in the game development business. Leadership changes. Talent leaves. New publishers change stuff to suit their profits first mentality. What the studio was has little to no bearing on what will be. It's simply not wise to blindly buy games based purely on a studio's name.

@Barighm: if i could upvote twice, i would. I really liked Destiny. And just flat out fell head over heels for Halo. All of em. I really Hope Bungie puts the Bungie I used to know back into Destiny 2. We shall see.
