Why is the first mission the only one that feels properly designed?

[b][u]Note:[/u] For people coming in here with the [u]"The game is going to unfold over ten years" argument: that's false.[/u] Bungie has agreed to make four (4) complete titles, with dlc and 'expansions' for each over the course of ten years. So the [b][i][u]franchise[/u][/i][/b] will unfold over ten years. If you don't believe that, go look up the contract between Bungie and Activision that was made public in the case against IW.. [u]In regards to the reddit posts recently, for the sake of remaining factual and accurate, I will not be using any information provided there, whether or not it turns out to be true, it can't be proven either way right now. [/u][/b] If the rest of the game was more like the first mission, this game would have been so much better. The enemies are either already there, or drop from the ceiling, or climb up through the floor, or climb down the walls. There are no smoke-spawn-doors, or enemies popping out of midair. It feels natural and immersive. Your ghost has the most dialogue in the game in this I one mission. And it feels natural, not as good as what was shown in the gameplay reveal of the same level, but better than the rest of the game, except for "Fallen ships? [b]THIS CLOSE TO THE SURFACE[/b]?" that just felt cheesy. My one and only gripe about this level, other than the fact that it's the only well designed mission in the game (IMO), is that if you get to the part where the fallen ships fly overhead, and hug the right wall, there's an area that seems to lead off into a wide open space, that I got excited for finding the second time around, I missed it the first time, and there's a kill barrier there... Is that where the earth we saw in the vidocs is hidden? And if so, do you plan on ever letting us go there? I haven't yet played the raid, but from what I hear, it's the only other well designed 'activity' in the game.. That and maybe the sword of crota, but only because I loved using the sword so much... Please Bungie, whatever you did for the first mission that you didn't do for the rest, continue that into destiny 2, or even the dlc.. We want more well designed missions like the first mission and the raid.

  • *IF* you believe the rumors and reddit threads its because this may be one of the only "untouched" portions of the game after they hacked the story to pieces. I for one believe, as others do, that the intro we have now was meant for the Exo and the Awoken / human had their own separate starting missions that made more sense. Also, did anyone else notice a few of the zones that were revealed in the "map glitch" were level 10-12. Does anyone really believe that there will be level 10 zones in the DLC? Or is it more believable that these were part of the original story that had you bouncing around from planet to planet a bit more? Or maybe story lines that had players of each race visiting their "home"?
