Edge magazine Destiny feature…

I never bought into the billions of guns for borderlands. It just seemed overwhelming, I'm hoping Destiny keeps it manageable.

I quote:

Characters are faceless, defined by their armour and equipment. Every component and weapon can be traded and replaced with discovered loot and crafted gear. There are countless examples of rare loot to be found in Destiny's world, but on Bungie's walls hang A3 print-outs of a single gun chassis that's been reworked multiple times with exotic scopes, stocks and barrels, perhaps evidence of a procedural system for creating variant weapons.

I'm immediately reminded of Isaac Hannaford's various weapon studies for Reach, and the impression I get is less of random weapons so much as infinite weapon combinations. Sort of like Lego for guns. And that is a very appealing concept indeed.
