A Thought About Destiny's Reception (Destiny)

Agreed!

Halo to me used to mean two 8 hour campaigns, Heroic and Legendary. I would play them both, usually alternating, forever until and after the next Halo game. Once or twice I might to it on Easy or Normal to hear all the marine chats and explore.

Destiny has a few great moments. Really loved the van cleef homage. Needs more spaceships and wheeled vehicles, and it's lost some great Halo standbys like custom games, splitscreen, the gimmick/special levels (LNoS, Any warthog/tank level) and the minimalist (except Halo 2) script that drove your single minded murder man John 117 to victory. But what we have is a whole lot of wicked sick Bungie Shooter, which were always the best parts. It also works a LOT better in co-op, a focus which may alienate a lot of people. Especially anti-social, race to complete and review Journalists.

I just don't see how it's a 6... a few loading screens and bit of apparently dodgy dialogue are not worth that kind of scorn, are they?
