After only a short amount of time, it's clear Destiny 2 is once again an overwhelmingly successful venture for Activision and Bungie. Even in the face of an original instalment that disappointed far more than it pleased and the fact that marketing for D2 was pretty barebones, 1.2 million players (and counting) are having an absolute blast.

And for good reason. Though Bungie's latest can be looked upon as an interlocking set of mechanics predicated on stat-grinds, microtransactions and loot drops, its core feel of shooting might just be the best FPS combat on the planet.
