Is there something wrong with my hoping for theater mode? You've posted a variation of this before when I've mentioned it, and I don't get why it seems so unreasonable to include the feature, given Bungie's history with it (BTW, it's not a Halo thing. Marathon and Myth had films, too.)

Second, a good bit of my favorite fan-created content could not have been made with only video capture. Video capture simply does not replace theater mode.

Lastly, I don't think you understand how films worked. The game engine and assets are what take up space. I'm not saying Destiny doesn't present unique technical hurdles. Halo did, too, else the first two games might have had them.
