New light story..
A while ago I introduced some friends into the game, and I gotta tell you...I could tell they weren't enjoying the beginning. The new light story is just boring. There's no suspense and it's not engaging at all. It would be a lot easier to just bring back the red war, and after the ghost resurrects the guardian, and goes to the tower the first time (minus all that go here go there hassle) ikora says something like "Hey you need to know the past to understand the present" or something and take them to a vex time gate back to the red war. It would be a much better story, and you already have the assets. Please consider this. I want my friends to enjoy the game as much as I have

Tbh they even got lazy when explaining New Light. There was a lot of telling and not showing. Shaw Han is an experienced hunter, but we never saw him fight. At one point, he says he’s overrun with Hive so we start shredding through armies to draw attention from him, but we didn’t see much Hive in the area at the time so the whole situation just made him seem pathetic. The tour around the tower was boring and I highly doubt enough players actually took the time to read/listen to all that exposition. But I do think a rework is coming. Bungie wouldn’t go through all the trouble of making that intro cutscene on YouTube if they didn’t plan to put it in the game, and that video said more about the lore than the entire New Light campaign.
