Destiny 2 Beta: 7 Ups & 2 Downs

2. Triggering Your Super Takes MUCH Longer

Though I can get on board with the idea of any Super ability taking far longer to come about, the reaction from various fans has been very negative.

And to be honest, I can see that side too. One of Destiny's biggest differentiating features is its superpowers; various animations and pyrotechnic-fuelled abilities that make playing as a supernatural guardian of Earth one of pure fantasy. Rise of Iron introduced even more ways to use your powers and sub-classes, but with Destiny 2, the majority of the game is now reliant on trading bullets, cover and movement.

Again, this puts the reliance on powers towards the close of the match, but somewhat makes Destiny fall more in-line with standard shooters that of course, have way less super-powered abilities.

It's a tough balance, but sound off in the comments where you stand.
