Very disappointed in Destiny. *long* *TL;DR included* (Destiny)

A boost to raw enemy power, plus some mixing up in their spawns, is pretty much exactly how Halo has always worked.

Even the "change to intelligence" is mostly just a result of the enemies being assigned higher aggressiveness due to their increased power (and, per Bungie's ancient Halo 1 AI talk, they seem smarter 'cuz they got more health).

Yeah but, even on Legendary, specials/critical were still really powerful:

• PP overcharge - bring down shields instantly, pop Brute armour, stun vehicles
  
• Unarmoured headshot with precision weapon - instant kill
  
• Assassination - instant kill

In the Destiny Beta, on the other hand, if the enemy is a couple of levels above yours, instead of making 2-3 headshots for the kill, you have to make 6-10 headshots*!

That gets tiring really quickly.
