Maybe this is why Bungie hates story-telling now? (Destiny)

Plot aside, the halo series had largely voice over interactions, but frequently had you encounter NPCs in the field. The human marines and their interactions, even for only short portions of a map really added to the feel of the game.

Destiny lacks any NPC interaction, especially in the field. They could really use some "frontier corps" you can encounter to add flavor and personality to the game.

Right now the world is too empty and your actions irrelevant to the greater scheme. I always felt good in Halo when I managed to save all the marines and they would say stuff.

1000x this!

I would pray to meet the David Cross Marine every time I ran into a squad. I love that guy! Oh David Cross Marine, I'm so sorry I ran you over with the tank that one time!
