From Polygon but actually from Reddit:

I'm wondering if we'll be sending souls screaming back to hell again in the beta.

In comparison, for those who didn't have the opportunity to try the Alpha, it had 1 Story Mission, 2? Crucible Maps, 1 Explore Mode, 1 Strike

So maybe they're referring to "A huge world to explore" as another "Explore" area.

Hmmm, story missions are cool. Not as replayable as the strikes though. Was hoping for one more strike at/near the level limit of the Beta.

I imagine 1-2 of the story missions are the early/tutorial missions that take place before the Wizard mission in the alpha, with one after?

Guessing the Crucible maps are the ones announced on IGN, hopefully with new modes!

Wonder if the explore mode is more fleshed out now, or if some of those secret, empty places from the Alpha will be more populated now.

All baseless guesswork based on an unreasonable level of excitement. I didn't get bored of the Alpha in the 3 days we had it, but might burn out if the Beta content is 90% the same. Or maybe it will force me to get better at MP.

I'd never bet against Bungie, but I didn't pre-order until the Alpha feedback (and then a charitable alpha access key) sold me. Cannot wait!

This might sound weird in that I'm a huge story fan, but I wish there was less story. With new Bungie games, I prefer to immerse myself in the story first, and have it unfold in one long arc, over as a few sessions as my schedule will allow. I don't really want to have a big chunk of the game be a replay when I finally get it. But maybe four missions won't be that big of a chunk. :)

4 story missions may not be a lot in Destiny.

2 minutes, for real? Are they a bit like an episode of Spartan Ops in scope/content?

I'm fairly certain that in one of the IGN videos they said that Control would be the only MP mode.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. It was more like a strike mission with more Ghost dialogue.

...for the average person.

I managed to do it in 1:56 on Legend. Race past everything, shotgun a few badguys, rocket the Wizard in the face with an upgraded RL.

Playing more casually it's more like 10 minutes.

That sounds awesome! I'd like to see stuff like that.

Which one, I heard him dodge the question in the Moon one I think?

It's the Rusted Lands video at about a minute in. Lars states that Control is the one gametype that we'll play in the beta.

Hopefully there are still some secret empty places in the final game, for reasons I'm sure other people can articulate (or think up) better than me... anyone?
