Custom engine (Destiny)

I think it has more to do with the custom engine Bungie created. By making their own engine, Bungie is able to maintain the "Halo" feel of the combat, but they are spending a lot of effort to build the tools to make things. I think this is a big part of why there is no forge or custom games for example. Bungie just hasn't had time to implement some of the features that I'm sure they would like because they barely got the engine done in time to ship. They have also never built a game quit like Destiny where everything is online all the time and that probably affects how a lot of functionality is coded.
