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.

It's the vacuum I'm talking about. There are so many unknowns related to things like: how will your damage and health be affected by gear, how much will stats play a part in whether your shots hit, and a myriad more besides.

I imagine the Beta will be a massive engagement with the community. I also don't perceive Bungie's tone as evasive, just controlled.

I think when I used that word I was casting my mind back to a Q&A session where they repeatedly said 'we're not talking about that today.' Possibly a little unfair, but it kind of set the tone for me.

Yeah I just see "we're not talking about that today" as clear. It doesn't try to trick you into thinking they've answered the question, they're straight up saying "look we are not ready to discuss that".
