Gearheads of War

Bungie has only been able to offer one thing for about 2 years now, that being their multitude of online content every week to keep the masses entertained in the interim.   It's the only reason that I check out their website every other day, to see if any other big news has dropped.  They focus heavily on their community and foster an environment which allows for the fervor to grow stronger.

The Halo 3 hype machine is largely community driven through updates like they do, not through huge press events and other more standard approaches.  

Software development is a fickle thing, let alone gaming development.  I can empathize with their desire to begin working on the next product, and how hard it can be to work towards that while supporting their existing product.  There is a balance to be achieved their, and perhaps Epic will reach their desired "Nirvana" resolving all issues that people have.

I am going to just put this out there:  I would rather have Epic continue to develop future content and update existing product versus work on their website and other standard online content.
