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!

It plays exactly like Halo. Everything else will be quite different from the original trilogy. However, you can [b]definitely[/b] notice the influence from Halo: Reach. Almost as if they were trying out certain gameplay concepts, like Big Team Battle, custom characters in campaign cutscenes, and seamless "fire-team" (A.K.A. "Party") creation.* I'm glad it's something new, that the development team can take us somewhere Halo couldn't. But to deny it plays like Halo is just madness, if you ask me. *This is the one I find most interesting. Anyone else remember how flawless the party system was in Halo: Reach While playing the Alpha, in "orbit", joining a fireteam felt almost [i]exactly[/i] like joining a party in Halo: Reach. The more you think about it, the more it makes sense.
