...if it was from an old dream, I can't exactly remember... (Destiny)

I guess I was prescient to only use the MIDA back in Destiny 1 since it being a Marathon reference has pretty much become confirmation (or a Lucille Bluth wink) that the Marathon universe/timeline is connected to Destiny's... just not, 100% the same.

Jones might be the only old timer there now from the Marathon days, but thankfully there's other weirdos there on the story team, I guess.

Also it can't be understated just how badly the beta represented the final game's "game feel". I'm glad I decided to still play D2 due to the story and patrol stuff seeming promising, because it's absolutely what 1 should've been, and it makes the past three years look like a very extended (high, high, high budget) early access prototype.

Last four or so missions, after you gather up your Space Family might be the best sequence of levels in a Bungie game yet? At least from a mission design standpoint? It's a cover band version of the greatest hits of Halo, but with superpowers.
