It's not Halo.

There are a lot of beefs stated in the OP that I can't completely disagree with, though. I see the logic, but we've seen so little of Destiny, I think it's premature.

• Enemy personality needs dialed up a bit. I think there's time. Hopefully we'll see more of that variation thrown into relief once we fight the Vex and Cabal. Not to mention get to sink our teeth into the story.
  
  
• Weapon selection does seem slim, though varied enough I could live with it for a while. I suspect alien weapon types are going to come into play eventually. As long as the base weapon type balances well in standard PvP, the version used in PvE and Iron Banner can be tweaked.
  
  
• The vehicle selection gives me pause. Everything is some flavor of hoverbike, and there's no cooperation in operating more formidable death machines. At least that we've seen. There could be more held close to the vest.

Those things aside, I'm extremely pleased by everything else we've seen. There's a bunch we know about that we haven't gotten to play with yet, particularly exotic weapons and subclasses, along with the aforementioned races. And Raids.

It's still way too early to call, I think. Hang in there. Even if you're not digging the new gameplay formula yet, see how the whole package stacks up.
