fair enough (Destiny)

Maybe, Bungie definitely values the mystery they're packing into Destiny. There are plenty of things that they're iterating on/designing that require hands on experience to judge/comment on. Learning the rate of fire for the Thunderlord without having played the game would be a bizarre vacuum to process that information.

I agree with this statement. If you look back on Halo nothing was really said or revealed about gameplay until the release. We basically got what we're getting now: a look at one or two vehicles and weapons and gameplay footage that wasn't even from first person. When Bungie comes out with sequels to games they tend to show more gameplay, but I feel this is mostly because they know you already have the correct context since you've seen and played the first game(s). Also, Bungie will most likely reveal a lot in the month or two before the game releases as that is their normal operating procedure. Compare that to Blizzard who releases a lot of information about their games sometimes years before the game releases and then most of the mechanics end up changing anyway.
