So gameinformer had a behind the scenes of Vid of the new expansion pack, and the bungie team there, seemed a lot different to the halo 3 or reach team :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0_jiB2hqeQ
No one was excited or energetic or really happy, which was kinda odd for bungie.
Perhaps I'm looking too much into it; times change, people have come and gone.
But considering the rumours of how creative control was reserved only for the top guys in the company, and with Staten and Marty. the two most public members of the team, gone, and Destiny's troubled development and less than stellar reception, maybe everyone there has just become tired and worn down.
As for the DLC, it looks alright-ish. The multiplayer maps are nothing special, but the strike seems good, tied into the new side story (a story with only one fucking character but anyway). Too bad there's only one for me -_-. And the Raid looks really promising, might even just be with the £20. Might be. Maybe.
At this point though, I'm not sure if the game can be saved enough to contiue with their 'ten year plan'. Maybe they should just retcon everything and start afresh with Destiny 2, and give it a name that makes sense.
TL;DR Bungie team seems sad, DLC prediction: 6.5/10- Correct amount of water, Destiny reboot?
