Ignorant Fanboy Rant (Destiny)

Ok, if I am wrong I take it back.

Is it perhaps slower on emulated hardware? I didn't have much time for the 360 versions of these games due to the bugs, and my H1 Disc disintegrating due to what I imagine was old age and overuse.

I remember Halo 1 only bringing the initial loading screen per game session, or if there was one between levels it was super quick.

But whatever it was, it was nothing like it is now. Halo 3 even cached the selected level in the lobby (Maybe Destiny does this without showing off). There was also a good hour or so per mission, so any small break/cinematic/loading screen was no biggie. Of Course Destiny is trying to do so much more, including not being linear, but it IS a tradeoff.

That said, would have paid a few seconds of black screen to remove some of the cinematic pop-in in H2.
