Jupiter and Saturn... (Destiny)

I know raids wouldn't be the same if they could be run solo, but I think that's kind of the sort of content that I'm hoping to see in the future. Something as long (physically) as the Vault of Glass, with the same sort of interesting challenges...

I loved the platforming aspect of the Vault. The game lends itself nicely to platforming, what with each class having a double-jump ability in one way or another.

Seeing as how Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants, perhaps some portions of the gameplay could involve navigating debris, or traveling across low-G environments. You could have enemies shooting at you, or not... It would add a nice twist to the gameplay that much of Destiny could have benefited from (Sword of Crota being an excellent example), and can appeal to people who enjoy a challenge that doesn't involve shooting, and that can be as fun doing it alone as with a group...

Another thing that can be done with these unique worlds is a race against time. Maybe you board a Cabal ship to take out some more of their command, and you have a limited time to escape after the ship veers towards the planet after you assassinate their command/bridge crew... Similar to Halo 4's opening level where the chief was running through the collapsing FUD, but fighting the enemy crew, which is also escaping. You could even have new enemies, since you're in space rather than dealing with the occupational force on Mars...

There are a lot of possibilities in the game's future, and if you look at something like Mercury, where the skybox has floating platforms already, maybe the Vex will be the key to something like this, as they're already involved in many of the unique levels in the game...

Though people will start to complain about Vex fatigue, I think...
