More context sensitivity would help (Destiny)

I don't see any reason why you'd need individual actions for:

• Loot here!
  
• Passage here!
  
• Strong enemies!
  
• Check this out!

If you're staring at an important in-game item, using the standard 'point' should just switch to:

• Player1 points to a Dead Ghost.
  
• Player1 points to a Golden Loot Crate.
  
• Player1 points to a Spinmetal Plant
  
• Player1 points to Raksis, Devil Archon (5)
  
• etc...

It already does this when you're pointing at another player. e.g.

• Player1 points to Player2

I'd love for the point function to be a quick spot function during combat (loved that in Gears and Battlefield). It'd allow randoms in Strikes to coordinate which leg to fire on the Devil Walker, for example.
