I was able to experience all the content yesterday and reach the Beta's level cap. Skyblade's right, Destiny is not going to take away the sins of the world but what you have instead is a very special game that combines a number of elements in an unprecedented and unique way. Its gorgeous, fun world feels so alive with enemies, dungeons, and other players off in the distance to interact with. Halo fans are going to fall in love but I suspect Destiny will reach beyond the typical shooter crowd. The combat just feels more like an RPG, at times Skyrim while exploring beautiful landscapes, at times World of Warcraft, delving into dungeons on raids with your friends.

The multiplayer is all Halo. The gamechanger is the character super abilities and the need to manage ammo for your heavy and special weapons. I've always been more of a Counter-Strike and Call of Duty guy but once your get the hang of it, it's very addicting and the maps are absolute eye candy. I could easily see a lot of people playing Destiny just for the multiplayer.

I'll likely hold off for now until the full game comes out but I can definitely say this is the big game for Holiday 2014.
