Isn't it annoying when people say destiny is going to be just like Halo?

Listen, I love Halo. Master Chief is probably my favorite video game character. I love Halo's story. But it really annoys me when people compare Destiny to Halo. Yes, Destiny is a futuristic FPS, but destiny is an open world online game. My friends still say it'll be just like halo, but personally I think it will be a futuristic open world, MMO type game. I have faith Destiny will be a new, original, fun experience, with nostalgia as well. Destiny will be a new and innovative game but with a somewhat familiar feel. Tell me in the comments if you've had similar experiences with friends saying Destiny is like Halo, or if you disagree with me. Thanks Guardians!

    [spoiler]If you got an attention disorder don't read this. If to many words scare you into actually using your brain,skip this reply right now[/spoiler] Destiny isn't halo. What I would say.... Is if I never heard of Destiny, didn't know bungie made it...and someone came over and popped the disk in and I started playing it. ..... I'd get a nostalgic feeling...a sense of familiarity....I might even say it reminds me a little of halo..but only because I'm playing a video game...I'm trying to figure out why it's familiar.....then bam..I'd ask....is this a bungie game? And that's magical my friend. Its like recognizing a picture from your favorite artist when you've never seen the picture before...but you know that artist made it. You aim and shoot a lot...it isn't surprising that it feels smooth like it did in their halo games. Cause hey....bungie makes pretty damn good shooters that gave some pretty damn good experiences . Don't get bent out of shape over that, although you will spend A LOT of time shooting...there's more to Destiny . It isn't halo. It won't be halo. Supers aren't abilities 5.0,.. But yes, it reminds me of BUNGIE....halo just happened to be made by bungie...which now it's in 343s hands. So when you hear halo being compared to Destiny, just try to keep that in mind. Do I think it's a fps? A mmo? I hear 2 stupid arguments over and over here. "Welp those fps players are in for a surprise, because Destiny is a mmo, no more running around shooting mindlessly like in halo anymore" Yea sure...because we all no that's how a good player plays right? Just run and shoot and win tournaments without a strategy..and yea sure...let stats and gear win matches for you, you don't even need to learn how to aim and shoot. "Welp I feel bad for the mmo guys because us elite fps halo veterans are going to destroy them. They're in for a surprise cause Destiny is gonna be just like halo" Yea Right, if you think you can just stroll up in a PvP match without doing your homework, you're head shots will end up feeling like paint balls while that titan slowly walks up to you and melees you as if you were a fly bothering him. I got news for both parties. You're both in for a surprise. Fact is, you're going to need both aspects of gaming experience to be a decent player. So please, instead of saying stupid stuff like that help each other out and understand how to be a good well rounded player. You're going to need to understand mmo and rpg elements, and you're going to need to understand how to shoot obviously...which isn't the easiest thing to be good at. That's my 2 cents. Hope some people can relate to this. [spoiler]If you made it to the end, congratulations. You don't have an attention disorder. Wanna complain about it being so long? Why did you bother reading it then?[/spoiler]
