• I hate the new sound design. The guns sound like toys for the most part and the music is just blah.
  
• I have no idea what the progression will be like, which is the one thing I'm most concerned with. Along with that what are mods and how will they impact gameplay?
  
• I like the longer TTK with the weapons, but not the insanely slow cooldowns - hopefully it's not like that in the final game. The abilities are a big part of what makes Destiny fun.
  
• Maybe I'm just used to skating around the maps, but movement doesn't feel as smooth as Destiny 1 to me and I found myself being frustrated and not being able to make my guardian go where I wanted him to.
  
• I like the new third abilities (warlock healing rift, titan walls, etc), it should give more depth to the gameplay.
  
• The story mission is what I expect out of a Bungie game.
  
• The strike was fun and had a lot of large, interesting set pieces (giant, deadly drill for example).
  
• I like having both a Kinetic and Energy weapon, but I wish the energy weapon did less damage to unshielded enemies and more damage to enemy shields even if the damage type doesn't line up (even better, dump the damage types).
  
• In general PvP is less fun and more competitive to me. I don't like 4v4 for Control but it was fine for Competitive.
  
• I found the new enemy types for the Cabal to add fun dynamics to the combat.
  
• I spun around to catch a warhound about to eat my face which would have been terrifying, but it immediately died.

I'll wait for reviews when the game comes out to figure out if I want to pick it up or not. Sorry Bungie, but you lost my confidence with Destiny 1. I had a lot of fun with Destiny 1, but I'm burned out on the stupid grind and not looking to get back into a game like that. Whether I decide to buy it depends a lot on how the grind has changed and what PvE experiences there are.
