Fear for Destiny (Destiny)

This latest trailer is just another steady reveal for me, expressing what your average gameplay will be like. It's no Halo 2 demo, which might be a good thing, because that baby cast a long shadow that Bungie was still working to somewhat hearken back to 5 years and 3 games later.

True.

Yet at the same time... the Halo 2 announcement and real time demo were both awesome. Probably the most awesome video game promotions ever. Everything about them was just about perfect.

"...and let more of them slip the kill zone? That's insanity! There's nothing more I can do!"
"Admiral, tell your men to hold their positions. Reinforcements are on the spoke."
"The entire fleet is engaged Cortana. With respect, what the hell sort of reinforcements have you got?"

- That I was going to be the one supersoldier that counted as a better reinforcement than the entire UNSC fleet was amazing. And of course the E3 Demo

"Bingo there's the cruiser. Now, all we need to dooooo.... is..."
"Betcha can't stick it."
"You're on!"

- I wanted to stick it. In that scene. On that bridge. In that hopeless situation.

Darn, Levi! You have me wanting the real (mythical) Halo 2 all over again! :p

But more on point, as much as I am satisfied by the looks of Destiny's gameplay, I too think it needs at least one of those super awesome moments. The Fallen ship jumping into the atmosphere back at E3 was close. The Law of the Jungle trailer was close. But I want one of those Halo-2-level-of-awesome moments.

Perhaps E3? Perhaps when Bungie gets back around to showing off Destiny's story again?
