I started with the Beta, and was a Day 1 player for Destiny 1. Loved it. Every part of it, even with all the issues during Season 1. I kept playing all the way to The Taken King. Max light level. All raid gear. Everything. Then I gave it a rest. Never came back after that point. I think I may have been burnt out.
I downloaded the Beta for Destiny 2. The story mission was really good. Enjoyed it. Loved the strike. Not to much the PVP. Im not a fan of Bungie downsizing to 4v4. I wouldnt mind if it was just a set mode, and we can still play 6v6, but if this is permanent I dont think I would like it for long. I preferred some of the larger maps in D1. Also, not happy that Snipers, Shotguns and Fusion rifles are special weapons. Why have 2 auto rifles to switch back and forth? I know, I can use a scout, or hand cannon instead, but thats not the point. Ive been a Titan since day one, and has always liked using a Pulse with a Fusion secondary. Sadly, I didnt get a Fusion drop during the 2 days I played the beta. However, the Exotic Auto Rifle was bad ass.
Overall, it feels and plays the same, which is a great thing. The new supers are cool, but right now, I think I might wait until the expansions. After more game modes, and I really think they need to add another class. That would bring me back.
