THERE! A CELL; FROM THE PRISON OF ELDERS! (Destiny)

In Warframe, I can tell exactly what ability my teammates are using just from the sound,

Being able to tell the difference between sounds does not mean those sounds are pleasant.

I'd take a distinct sound that provides me with specific information (even if it's unpleasant) over a generic sound that tells me nothing (and in the case of Radiance/Golden Gun, only provides confusion regarding the situation), but that's just me.

Boring sound design is not necessarily good sound design just because it plays it safe...

Like I said, though, Exotics are an exception. Patience & Time, Ice Breaker, Suros, and Thorn all have distinct sounds that help you out and stick with you. But everything else about Destiny's sound design is awfully lifeless and generic, even if it's crisp and polished (as can be said about pretty much all of Destiny, gameplay aside).
