Crook, I think it was more along the lines of "We wanted something new to attract the filthy casuals and CoD crowd in the 10th or so game in the series, because that's typically the point when someone wants to jump into a franchise, rather than start from scratch, you know. Also because fuck you, give us money. This is also why the series is getting more and more disjointed, so these two sub-human classes won't have to follow the overlaying plot."

That's about it.
