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!

Unfortunately Destiny is showing that is going to be for an elite 10% of the gaming population as the raid is what the game is geared for after the story ends. With lots and lots of repetitive gameplay in the same 15 strike missions. Exploring is monotonous. Just an open world where you shoot everything standing around. Doesn't matter where you explore, that is all you will do. The game for most of the players will end after they reached level 20 and finish the story. Then they have a long wait for expansions. (Edit as of 8/29 - With the most recent information being provided, if people don't mind grinding for loot, they will have plenty to do to get it. If you don't like to grind, then the game may still be over at 20 level if you don't like the daily story missions. Weekly Vanguard missions sound like they might provide a test of what the raids are like. Daily Vanguard mssion not sure how repetitive they will be. Looks like expansions come out in March and December.) After reading the latest update, the raids, particularly on hard mode won't be for most of the population. I also pre-ordered hoping Vanguard missions will be a challenge and non repetitive.)
