My biggest fears are: 1. The new loadout system, its impact on PVE, and what it signals about what the developers REALLY value in this game. In this game, Bungie can have only two out of three elements in this game: PVE, PVP, and Consistency between the two. They can have powerful gear and abillities in PVE and consistency between PVP and PVE, but they won't have balance. On the opposite end of the spectrum, they can have balance in PVP and consistency across both PVE and PVP, but you will have no power progression and much less excitement and fun on the PVE side. OR, they can give PVP and PVE both what they want, at the cost of having a consistent experience across the board. Their refusal to say that PVE and PVP are completely separate combined with the fact that the game appears to have been completely re-engineered to suit the needs of PVP players, and it seems like PVE players will, once again, get the shaft. At the very least, it sends the signal that PVP is the most important element of the game and that there is NOTHING they won't do for the sake of PVP, even if it costs PVE players. They'll simply do whats necessary for PVP, and simply "make it work" in PVE. And My fear is that there will be a ton of PVE content to play through, but no reason to play through it, as there will be no gear that makes you feel super powerful - and the new loadout system could contribute to that sense of power drain. I'm sure PVE will be playable, but the question of whether we will ever feel as powerful as we did in Y1 or have as much fun as we had in Y1 is a big issue. More of the same of Y2/Y3 just isn't acceptable to me. 2. New supers: Sure, its great to have offensive abilities, but I fear that the new support abilities limit the kinds of encounters they can design in high end PVE. No longer do we have awesome, strategic abilities and we must now, instead, turn PVE into a run'n'gun game. Replacing long-lived strategic supers, armor debuffs, etc. with short-lived support abilities seems to fit into the "run'n'gun" theme and on paper, seems to de-emphasize encounter strategy. 3. Again, new supers/abilities seem to be aimed towards de-emphasizing the differences, strengths, and weaknesses of each class. This is NECESSARY for PVP for balancing purposes, but only if your goal was 1:1 balancing. I never thought 1:1 balancing should be a goal. I wanted to see MORE differentiation between the classes with varying strengths and weaknesses. That would make combat much more dynamic and diverse in both PVE and PVP IMO. Instead, every character is just the same - except one wears a cape, the other a skirt, and the third, a sweat band. 4. While I think there was not enough specialization in character abilities/classes/etc., I think there was TOO MUCH specialization in terms of our weapons loadout. Restricting us to two primaries may be great to those who want the flexibility of carrying two primaries, it actually limits choices for those of us who actually made regular use of all three weapon slots. As someone who always approached PVE engagements from long range, carrying a close-range primary is not going to do me any good. It effectively pairs my useful loadout from 3 weapons to two. This forces players working in a small team to have to specialize in DPS or crowd control. The only thing is that what you use may be dictated by what other players in your team HAVE available to them rather than what you actually want to use. IMO, it's just a bad move to re-order the weapon slots in PVE for the sake of PVP, especially if PVE and PVP are separated (or are going to be separated). 5. The message reordering the weapon slots sends about whether PVE and PVP will actually be separated. If you are GOING to separate PVE from PVP, then why do you need to be restricted to the same loadout across both modes? There's simply no reason for it other than laziness. If you AREN'T going to separate PVE from PVP to a great degree, then it makes sense to keep the loadout format the same across both modes, but then they are effectively stating they think PVP is more important than PVE in a game that is at LEAST equally divided between both modes. Those are my top 5 fears about D2. And I'm not really excited about the direction the game is going in. I know some players like some of the changes, but I personally do not. I will give them a chance when the beta comes out, but it is much harder to convert people who already approach the game from a speculative position.

Pvp looks slow, too much like halo. If I want 4v4, power weapons, slow ttk, I'll just go play halo. Recoil on the guns we've seen (including exotics which are supposed to feel good) have such awful stability that the missed shots artificially inflate the ttk. Overall effectiveness of guns look ass. Pulses with hand canon like range, ghost bullets are back, retarded recoil, slow ttk. All sound effects got cartoonified. Just go listen to all the guns, jumps, supers... it all sounds very cartoony and less beefy than destiny 1. Movement slowed. No more Titan skating, warlock hopping, hunters are the only ones who aren't really effected. Skill trees shrunk and streamlined. This is a big one. I was expecting a bigger skill tree with more perks and more customization in your build. So basically what made destiny the game that it is got taken away. It is now a shit halo with a destiny skin.

That it turns out like Destiny 1. I had such high hopes for Destiny 1 in 2012 and it turned out to be garbage. No offense, but it was clearly cut up last minute and put behind a pay wall. The original story was overhauled and replaced with what we have now. I couldn't stand PvE in Destiny 1 because of how insanely repetitive and grindy it was. It wasn't even the good repetitive, it became a thing where every Tuesday, I would knock out all of the PvE activities so I wouldn't have to do them over the weekend. I guess I was happy with the PvP until they started patch less and less, until they finally stopped entirely, leaving the crucible in a completely ability based meta with next to no gunskill. I haven't pre-ordered Destiny 2, and so far, it doesn't look good in my opinion. How can I tell? It looks exactly like the trailers for Destiny 1. Unless Bungie can prove me wrong with Destiny 2, I highly doubt that I will buy it.

new weapon system seems boring. movement is a lot slower. no variety in subclasses will get boring. no 60fps on midgen consoles no true dedicated servers 4v4 only pvp no big subclass shake up (anyone else hoping for dark subclasses?) dawnblade super only let's you throw fire at enemies and you can't swing it like a regular sword.
