I think they're still trying to divorce themselves from Halo (Destiny)

This actually is not a complaint (Seriously, it's not), but did anyone else find it weird that Destiny 2 suddenly cut off the legacy game data tracking/rewards?

Reach had the Halo 1 / 2 / 3 / ODST / Marathon nameplates. Destiny 1 had the emblems for old Bungie.net forum activity and having a few of the Halo games in your Bungie.net data (since they obviously could not longer directly reference Halo). Destiny 2 only references Destiny 1 (and only if you met certain criteria) and it's own beta. There isn't even one for having been in Destiny 1's beta.

And Destiny 2 being their first PC-launch-window release wouldn't explain it, since they just leave any Destiny 1 hooks inert on that version.

So, thoughts? Did you like this functionality, don't care, wish D2 would reference more legacy data?

This all of course is just my personal opinion.

I think the whole 'Legacy' concept was a lot cooler with the "old" Bungie crew, it seems there is a noticeable difference in carrying progression from say, myth to Marathon to Halo..

Than from Halo to destiny.

I don't mean that in any sort of positive or negative sense, just at face value.

A lot of the team at Bungie that worked on all those games isn't necessarily working there anymore. Perhaps they just don't want to emphasize it like they used to.

Remember grizzled ancients versus old school vs new school from some of the old behind the scenes videos?

I'm sure they still do that stuff, but how do we know for sure?

I think it's just a culture change.
