Halo or Destiny?
Which game is better, Halo or Destiny? Why? Halo started it all, Halo is Bungie's baby. I hear people saying Halo is better than Destiny on here all the time, and everywhere people say this. (Destiny is only winning due to it being a Destiny forum and it has Playstation users also now. )

!gnoP started it all. Operation: Desert Storm made people notice Bungie. Pathways Into Darkness was their first FPS/RPG hybrid. Marathon put them on the map. Oni was their first console crossover. Myth won the hearts and minds of the RTS community. Then they said, sorry everyone. We're making our new game Xbox only (which was previously announced for Mac/PC). Thanks for getting us to the point where Microsoft would offer us a fat deal, but we are out. P.S. Go buy an Xbox. Bungie made Halo and people were excited, it brought in gaggles of new fans who didn't play on Mac or PC. Bungie made Halo 2 and realized their deal wasn't all they'd thought it was. Bungie made Halo 3 and said, we are done making Halo. We want to make a new game. Microsoft cracked the whips and said, thou shall make Halo for all eternity or until your contract expires, whichever comes first. Bungie made more Halo games that people scoffed at. Microsoft asked a bunch of Bungie people, who were all actually Microsoft Game Studios people, to form 343i. Bungie took their name and went off to make the game they wanted to make after Halo 3. 343i stayed on to milk the Halo name for as long as possible. And we all got Destiny. Point being, Halo started nothing. Halo was actually the last game Bungie made, before Destiny. I was one of those 8 year Mac fans who got shafted in 2000. I am still somewhat bitter. I am happy that I can play a game that is great at its core, even though it's lacking in story. I do hope they get around to fixing that. I did finally get to play through all of the Halo games in 2014. It seemed much less exciting than I thought it would be given all the hype surrounding it. I kind of felt like Marathon had a better plot and more dialog. But that's probably nostalgia talking. Regardless, Bungie's FPS games all feel very much the same to me. Oni was a real treat, though that wasn't directly Bungie, but Bungie West. I always thought that Oni's blend of shooting and melee combat with special moves was really cool. The plot was pretty good too IMHO. That said, I like that Destiny gives me something to do instead of WoW and let's my poor old computer get back to what it was intended for. And I have rambled on and on and on...
