I never understood why this game required an online connection.  Its not an mmo, hell you can't even trade items or communicate with other players.

THIS!!!!!!!

I haven't played it yet, but if you lose your connection does the game kick you out or something? I hope going into the future this doesn't become a trend. 

Its funny, the same people that were against Microsoft's always online feature are the same people that support this game requiring an internet connection for no reason.  I guess when Microsoft tries to do it its wrong, when Bungie/Activision try people eat it up. 

That's because it is an MMO. A heavily stripped down MMO, but an MMO none the less.

I'm guessing point 4 is directly addressing the lack of common MMO features.
