After playing many ours of the Destiny Beta my favorite part by far was the Level 6 Strike Mission. The reason this was my favorite part of the game is because it included 1--3 player match making. This is not something I knew I wanted until spending 2+ hours with the two guys I was randomly paired with. At first I was just going through and didn't realize I we were working together but once we came to the first boss it became aparent that we would continue failing unless we revived each other and worked together. We went on to work closely together to take down the multiple bosses and we had a blast. I was truly surprised how well we worked together and how much I enjoyed the experience.
That said, I really hope Bungie introduces matchmaking for RAID's, and does not require they be played with friends only as they stated, http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/07/31/destinys-end-game-raids-require-five-other-friends-to-play/.

If that strike took you two hours you're going to have some issues on the raids. All the more reason for you to do it with friends so you can work together better than with the two randoms
