Bungie joins up with Activision

I think Bungie joining up with activision was a terrible idea for Bungie. Activision has been sucking most of its top franchies dry such as Guitar hero and Call of Duty. Activision royaly screwed over Infinity Ward as they are still fighting for their royalties from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Overall I think Bungie made a mistake joining Activision on a 10 year contract but I guess we'll just have to wait and see where it goes.
