oops, SPOILER WARNING
Pretty much. They said it would be, and it really is. There are moments of true heroism in this game though. I am really liking the somber, self sacrifice trend I'm seeing lately in games. To have protagonists that can actually die and aren't invincible only strengthens the narrative and your investment in the character. I mean just look at Red Dead Redemption.. holy shit.
I guess the images are confirmed to be real, guys! I'll be taking them down in about an hour from now when I get home, because we received a takedown notice this morning. To be honest, we don't even know the legitimacy of this notice, since he's from the UK and the domain is not registered to Microsoft, but we want to be on the safe side anyway (any lawyers reading this, please chime in with your $0.02). If anyone wants to save the images (and repost), better do so now!

Did Bungie ever say who the writing team consisted of? From what small snippets I've seen, the writing seems to be much improved over previous games. Might just be the influence of the presentation, tone and superior voice acting, mind you.

There's no James Young with Microsoft.Quote:
Admins: Just talked with Microsoft being my profession and this was not sitting good with me since it was missing A. a contact phone number and for these cases it must also contain a Digital Signature with that being said they said it is fraud, I gave them the link here and they verified that they do not have a James Young employ and that the email extension internet2@microsoft-antipiracy.com is not valid furthermore they said on there notices they will also have a phone number for the person(s) to call and correspondence is done through written. I will be receiving an email with the case number and contact information for the antipiracy case manager who verified the information and will forward it to the Admins here and at PPCGeeks as well. If one one the Admins here can PM there email addy so I can send the email to them for future verification on these types of notices.
I'm going into spoiler territory here but I'm thinking there's a Legendary Ending after ALL of this, for several reasons which I'll highlight in spoilers. These WILL contain end spoilers for Noble 6. Do not click them if you don't wish to be spoiled. I'm serious.
Jcap, you deleted rather than hid posts?
