I'd be fine with the Halo system, but I'd also be absolutely fine with the borderlands systems.
To be honest - I expect borderlands.

I never understood the appeal of Borderlands. There never seemed like there was a reason to keep playing for me. No plot, bad mechanics, not fun. If Destiny is a lot like BL I'll be sad.

[quote]No plot[/quote]Borderlands 2 has an amazing plot. [quote], bad mechanics, not fun. [/quote]Almost everybody disagrees with you on both points.

Okay I'll admit it, the plot wasn't something I really cared about, there wasn't anything wrong with it tbh. But the mechanics pissed me the hell off. I had a gun in my hands, shooting the hell out of ONE guy for too long is annoying when they don't die. You seem to die quite easily. I think the boss fights is what irritated me the most. Bosses in a game with guns pisses me off. I guess Halo CE - REACH spoiled me, when I play an FPS it better be Halo level quality. I never played an FPS before Halo, and I guess it set the bar quite high for my expectations now lol. And if the majority says something, it doesn't mean it is fact. A game being fun or not is subjective.

[/quote] It's because shooting something and killing it instantly isn't the point it's about playing differently against different enemies, also, staying alive isn't hard, just make sure you keep up with gear stats based on your level, and know what enemies are resistant and vulnerable to. If you're dying a lot, it's probably because running into the fray like halo isn't how the game is played. Bosses are made to be insanely tough, and fought with several players, It's not your standard "be the hero who kills everything." It's one of the very few games of today that actually REQUIRE difficulty.

There are many people out there who think killing people in Halo takes way too long. But as Burrito said - The plot in the games was fine, and the mechanics are praised by a great many of people. I think you're in the minority of people on this one.

Well, that type of gameplay is obviously liked by many. Including me. Im sure those Cabal fellas have a high pain threshold. They look they can take a hose full of lead.
