This is just a taste of the information from the latest Game Informer article. The hype levels are reaching maximum for me.

* Vex and Cabal will fight each other in game
* Multiple character slots
* Ability to rebuild character without losing previous progress
* Exos were built during golden age but have no memory of the time
* Customizable face, hair style, and tattoos
* “If you want to think about it in MMO terms, all of our classes are damage-per-second characters. Every character is capable of going into a situation and solving it. They may do it in different ways. The class is really more of an emotional archetype.” - Tyson Green
* In addition to classes there will be focuses that function kind of like a sub-class. And that will be where your abilities come from.
* Many different grenade types including homing and proximity.
* If you don’t like your focus you can change it at any time.
* Fallen ships appear like “rusted futuristic submarines”
* Types of Cabal: Legionnaires, Centurions, Gladiators, and Psions
* Cabal bleed oil
* Types of Vex: Goblins, Hobgoblins, Minotaurs, Hydras, and Harpies
* Types of Hive: Thralls, Troopers, Knights, Wizards, and Ogres
* Glimmer IS currency, a rare energy-based substance from the Golden Age
* There is a game map
* Competitive matches are in the world as activities.
* There will be a checkpoint system
* Factions are for competitive multiplayer, you fight in support of a faction
* Players can only wield one exotic weapon and one exotic piece of armor at a time, but you can carry as many as you want with you
