The exploration and reclamation of humanities former glory will be what differentiates it. Exploration hasn't really been touched on yet in any of the published or released material so far. I suspect they are keeping this info back very deliberately. Shooting first and foremost, but shooting as it arises via exploration. I also don't think that the background lore discovered thusly will consist of explicit exposition, but rather implicit, leaving it to us to puzzle out large blocks of it.
Caveat; I could be way off here, no matter.

I see what you're saying. But once again, exploration in a FPS is not a new concept, nor is it one that would revolutionize the FPS genre. I have no doubt in Bungie's ability to tell an amazing story, but they didnt promise to revolutionize the RPG genre...

I don't mean exploration in a superficial sense though, as has been done before. I suspect it will be a fundamental if somewhat intangible aspect of what drives the larger story in Destiny.

I agree with your comment, i thought the focus was in getting the community to explore destiny together, and any feature included will be to encourage that type of game play.
