Problems with Destiny

[*]Introduce interesting methods of killing various enemies. Halo had this in spades, so I was surprised to see it lacking so much. As an example: Hunters are mini boss fights when you encounter them, but they have certain behaviors and abilities that make them dangerous but counterable with the right strategy or weapons. Nothing like this was shown in the demo beyond shooting the legs on the spidertank and it's not even clear if that was necessary.

I don't think Halo was as interesting as you remember. Bungie's Halo games had the golden triangle, with the only real 'flair' coming from what you could create yourself. Sure, that's interesting, but it doesn't deserve some pedestal above Destiny quite yet.

Also, regarding Hunters, c'mon now. Halo CE had that pistol trick. After that, unless you had a power weapon or tank, was it ever not 'shoot and grenade the hunters a lot' and 'don't get punched in the face?' Hell, a lot of Hunter encounters have been jokes, literally and figuratively.
