Jason Jones has talked about his big regret with Halo; that players replayed those missions over and over and over, for nothing (other than the fun of the gameplay). He wanted Destiny to capture that same enjoyment, but to give the player rewards/stuff to do/goals to work towards while we replay the missions over and over.

Where things went a bit wrong, IMO, is that the average Destiny mission is extremely weak compared to the average Halo mission. They are not as inherently replayable.

I think everyone agrees about this. Unfortunate.

Really, if you removed the story missions, and all we had were patrol, strikes, the raid, and crucible, I don't think my gameplay would change one iota.
