The beta was a lot of fun for me. The map was in no way limited and had some surprises so currently I am not scared of too less content. But overall it plays a lot like Halo and I think it's a good opportunity for Halo downplayers to feel why Halo is such a big game for Xbox.


It doesn't play like halo tho it plays much better than Halo . It's definitely a spiritual successor and playing it then playing halo 4 shows just how lacking Halo has become. Bungie has learned from their past games and refined everything. Its like drinking a coke in a chilled bottle compared to drinking a syrupy fountain version from a restaurant with too much melted ice.

As a long time Halo player I have to disagree, the game felt really similar to Halo (not exactly the same, but similar) and if you played Halo you would say the same thing. 

I am very excited for the game, was on the edge of not getting it, but I decided to dedicate my September to it. I played Halo, but long time ago, and didn't really like it, mostly because I would get my ass kicked in multiplayer a lot

In Destiny, multiplayer feels exactly the same as in Halo, but somehow the campaign attracts me more than Halo's. Probably because of the open map and the mission system, because of customization, looting and RPG elements (which remind me of Borderlands, a game I really loved).

That's why I am drawn to Destiny a lot, more than to Halo, of which I played 3 and Reach, and both times quit halfway through the campaign...
