PS4 Exclusives until Fall 2015, eh? (Destiny)

The MS-riots level vitriol resulting from these exclusives, though, is disproportionate.

Just disappointing, knowing that at least one strike in the game is seen by Bungie as being non-essential.

Which of the firefight levels in ODST were essential?

The "essential" bits I'd say are the Story missions, because those are analogous to what we've always gotten as part of campaign mode.

Strikes and Explore are like Firefight-- a mode that can be played solo or coop (or, in Destiny's case, coop with friends or strangers) that is not the solo campaign, and is also not competitive multiplayer.

Tweak an existing enemy, add a new rare loot drop, place them in a part of an area that used to be empty, and boom-- a new "exclusive" strike!
