All that stuff sounds good to me. You can't be serious.

How much changed from Halo 1 to Halo 2? Less than this game. Dark Souls? Nearly every game franchise really....

Today at an event in Los Angeles, Bungie gave us our first look at Destiny 2, a video game about the crazy antics of Peter Dinklage. It’ll be out on September 8 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Destiny 2 is going to be “a new beginning” for everyone, both new players and old, director Luke Smith said at the start of the presentation. “There have been three things rattling around in our heads,” he said before listing the pillars Bungie used to envision their Destiny sequel. The first: “A world that pulls you in.” The second: “Amazing things to do.” The third: “Always someone to play with.”

They’ve changed Crucible to 4v4 for all modes.

They’re going to make Trials, raids, and the Nightfall “available to all players,” which they’re doing with a brand new system called Guided Games that will allow in-game Clans to sherpa players through that tougher endgame content.

The PC version of Destiny 2 will be on Blizzard’s Battle.net rather than Steam or another platform. Although the console versions will run at 30FPS, Destiny 2 will have an uncapped framerate on PC.

Bungie showed off Homecoming, the first mission of Destiny 2, which depicts a massive force of Cabal attacking the Tower. It looks a whole lot like Destiny 1.
At the end of this mission, Smith said, the forces of good will be defeated. Players will lose their city, their powers, and their vaults to the Cabal’s Red Legion and their big baddy, Commander Ghaul. The goal of Destiny 2 is to go out, get your stuff back, and take down Ghaul.

Bungie’s saying Destiny 2 will launch with new strikes, PVP modes, and (sadly) just one raid.

You’ll get three weapon slots that are more flexible than Destiny 1's, called Kinetic, Energy, and Power. It sounds like you’ll be able to shuffle your weapons around and use the same types of weapons in multiple spots this time around.

New classes include the Warlock’s Dawnblade, complete with flaming sword, the Titan’s Sentinel, with a void Captain America shield, and the Hunter’s Arcstrider, with an electric staff.

Bungie introduced a new PVP mode called Countdown in which players will have to place a bomb in their opponents’ base and then guard it.

Destiny 2 will allow players to launch activities from within anywhere in the world, without having to go to orbit (thank goodness). Rather than solely letting you wander around and do patrol missions, Destiny 2's maps will have treasure hunts, activities, and dungeons called Lost Sectors that sure sound a lot like Diablo.

The new planets are Earth, Titan, Io, and Nessus

Destiny 2 will have a more robust clan system, with in-game rosters, customizable banners, and other tools that’ll make it easier to show everyone that you’re part of Team Kotaku.

Bungie also announced a system called “Guided Games” that will allow players to join up with clans—even if those players aren’t members—for Destiny 2's more complex end-game content, like raids and Nightfalls. This is Destiny 2's version of matchmaking. It’s basically an in-game LFG system. If you’re raiding and need an extra slot, you can open up your group to a player looking for a raid.

Double penetration.

It legit sounds like an improvement, though. The gunplay, animations, and interface were never the issue. Even the repeated enemy types were varied and fun. It was the completely bullshit story structure of 1. fight through waves 2. press button, and the lack of endgame content beyond grinding for pointless gear. Hopefully this is treated as a soft reboot, though the apparent lack of any significant additions is kind of weird. No announcement of new classes or weapon types is disappointing. I'm glad it's finally on PC.

Um..

There are new additions. Read my post above. And yeah, Earth isn't new, it's just a new area on Earth. I was also hoping for a new class. Just new subclasses though. I'm sure there will be new weapons too, hopefully.

This still does not explain to what warrents this as a sequel and not yet another expansion to Destiny like the one's we have been getting.

I honestly wanted to see alot of revamps. I like current Destiny but it needs SO much refinement. This just feels like every other DLC we have gotten

PvP is still Mario Party with guns and a Frostbite Engine tier netcode fueled by Peer to Peer.
The Mobile game tactics they use to artificialy inflate playtime instead of giving real reasons to replay in a way a game like Dark Souls does.

PvP seems to be more Halo-ish now. Word is only one player can have heavy ammo at a time. And it's also 4v4 now across all modes. There's some other stuff I forgot too. And I'm hoping with this game, the new things we're doing which is one of their pillars they said. "Always something to do" That we won't be needlessly grinding or just playing through padded out material.

>when you make what is irl a piece of frozen water in the middle of fuck all into a no man's sky planet

I'm mad we're not getting europa but we are getting a literally who asteroid

Man I hope this isn't a complete shit show at launch.

Destiny was fun, but only after the two whole years it took to fix.

Did they fix it being a grindey mess though?
