I remember tryna get the sins of the past and i couldn't get it for the life of me but then one of my buddy's downloaded the game and got it for free because his clan completed the challenge for him lmao i was pissed
@@baconbitz7804 there were at least as many complaints about both of those things. Crucible was unpleasant without a stack, because it was full of sweaty stacks. Stacking was much worse than now because of how much easier it is to get a team of 4 together, and a team of four communicating was basically unbeatable with the slow movement, and scout laning meta. Feel like you can't have played back then.
Thats because it *was* good, it just wasn't superb. People always think Destiny is never as good as it can be, because we always want more/better from it. Guardians are never content.
Leviathan actually ended up being my favorite raid because it wasnt just "run-kill boss-run-kill boss". It gave so much more co-opping with your team mates, where everyone had a purpose, instead of what I would call today; "being carried by titans thundercrash", along with friendly "complains" about "why you main hunter? Switch to titan! We do more damage". In leviathan this didnt matter. And that is what made it so awesome! 💕 Hashtag -> Gauntlet! 😏
I liked everything about leviathan except gauntlet, not saying gauntlet was bad, I just had waaaaay too many wipes on that encounter to have ever liked it, but my favorite raid encounters of all time through d1 and d2 have to be dogs from leviathan, and war priest for sure from kings fall, the 2 hugest and most expansive raids ever have to be leviathan and kings fall, leviathan had the underbelly, which was so massive that you could literally go so far away from your team mates that your gamer tag doesn’t even show up anymore, it was so big they fit ANOTHER RAID inside of it, it was so big that if you got left behind in the under belly it was actually faster to just leave and join back than to try to make your way through it, even with the year 1 comically slow load times, and kings fall was also really huge it just had a singular path to take through the raid that had to be followed so it didn’t allow for too much exploration like leviathan did
@@MrSteamedchicken Did you read my comment wrong by any chance? Yes. It had only one boss. But it also had 3 sections you had to go through which didnt have bosses. And instead of "pipe run" the order of those sections changed each week. So to quote myself here; "it wasnt just "run-kill boss-run-kill boss" _WASNT_!!!
Personally out of all raids I gotta say Crota was my number one. The riad it self was ehhh, but just the raiding culture it made was why it was so good to me
Played since vanilla D2 and I remember almost nothing of all this. Guess it is so bad that my brain blocked it from my memory to protect my sanity. I am glad where we are with D2 right now
For me it was the other way around, I only played D2 at launch and stopped before the first mini Expansion came out. Came back post Beyond light. Had all my sunset gear on and was like wtf where do I start. All the changes were so overwhelming but exciting to discover. I like where Destiny is at right now but I’ll admit. I wish I could play the original campaign again cuz I really really enjoyed it
@@gregdennert4441 dude there is no content in d2 just repetitive things to do and PVP is in literally a bad state(i am a competitive player) my clan used to be mostly active(like 30 people) everytime but now its just me and my friend, same goes for my friendlist(it used to be like 90 92 may be more people in my friendlist playing this game all time now it is just handful of people). I mean if you are new player or came back to destiny after a long break, then sure d2 is good there is content for you but for us its just boring and Being a PVP player crucible is seriously ruined by Cheaters and cringe no skill load outs, plus since the quickdraw nerf people just keep hold shotties out like they holding their black DIG BICKS in hands, just aping and there is no team balancing, servers are shit. THERE ARE WEAPONS AND SUPERS THAT DOES DMG BEHIND THE FOOKING WALL. So yeah d2 is shit Period.

@@ExpertRam Same.I loved when it was classic mix pvp with control,supremacy and clash. Then they just dumped supremacy which I enjoyed more than control.
Oh wow... what a flashback man. It's crazy to see how much the game evolved and how I felt at the time. I skipped all of D1 because I was hooked on Battlefield and COD at the time. But I defended the hell out of D2 and always had high hopes that it would get better. Nah bro, just give it time, trust me it will get better. Despite all the slack and negativity this game gets from the general public, it's hands down my favorite game. It's just so good. Thanks for taking me down memory lane with this clip. Much appreciated 🙏🏼
I remember when Curse of Osiris dropped and we got our first trace rifle after months MIDA dominated crucible, and how broken crucible was for about 3 days. All those F'ing tokens, MIDA crucible and Noob callouts in the void realm of the final encounter of Leviathan...Man, I don't miss that even a little bit. Great work my dude! Cheers from another Destiny OG!
As someone who played destiny 1 through beta all the way to destiny 2’s warmind DLC it’s crazy that so much was removed from the game and changed since I last played, game doesn’t even feel the same and I’m still a bit upset that nearly 90% of the stuff I grinder for and the DLC’s I paid for are simply gone now with no compensation
The static rolls, that was the most ass backwards decision that I just never understood. I remember when they announced static rolled weapons on stage at an E3 and the community applauded it, I thought I was in Bizarro world. Thank God they nixed that dumb idea.
Yep and they applauded the 4v4 announcement as well. Everyone drank the coolaid. Nobody had the balls to question it. Remember those streamers telling everyone it’s Bungie let’s wait and see and still saying the same crap after playing the beta. D1 was a better game at that time.
@@littlejohn-pi7kk 4v4 is better than 6v6. That’s one thing they still need to do. Or give us maps that are better suited for 6v6. They also need to restrict special ammo to boxes like D1 so people can’t just crutch on their shotguns. Until then we’ll be stuck with the shit show 120 and shotgun meta.
better than farming one activity 100 times because I can't get two perks to drop together. Since random rolls it definitely feels like the better ones have a much lower chace to roll
You know what’s crazy? I just downloaded Destiny 2 again and this video is how I always remembered it (obviously) it was fun for me, but like you’ve said, you get all the guns and that was it.. now it’s a little overwhelming as I started at 1100 and now 1278.
looking at this video makes me realize just how much of early destiny 2 I forgot about. I played early destiny 2 but stuff like the challenges I just do not remember. Edit: Added note I did not remember that the Almighty was in the directory.
Something I thought was cool tho and that I kinda miss about the old weapons system is that you could have 2 of the same gun and they’d have different energy types
Man I remember i did something for cayde and he gave me two exotics and I was like "YOOO I DONT HAVE THESE" as well as the fact I bought a scout report for the EDZ from him and after the forsaken trailer dropped I never wanted to use it , cause cayde dies. And to this day that scout report remains in my inventory, untouched.
Man, I loved d2 red war, it was a great starter, I hate that they got rid of that, but I know that had to happen, I love this game, and getting m first exotic was kinda amazing, especially when you can drill enemies with it, I think we can all agree, this game is NOT the same game as it was in 2017, but that's ok, it's still a great game.
Man I miss the leviathan, got a week one Callus kill in that raid. I just came back to Destiny a couple weeks ago for the first time in five years. Kinda bummed I can’t do that raid again or the other leviathan raids. Not disappointed in the new content though. The new raids and dungeons are amazing, crucible is more fun.
Very interesting video my friend, I personally started playing D2 when it arrived on Steam, I prior to that I all heard was complaints of how bad the game was but when I tried it for the first, I was like, man this is a really good game but not knowing the horrors of how it was prior to ARMOR 2.0, MODS and FINISHERS...
I'm still really mad at the fact that they removed 50% of the games content, after getting attached to the tower of destiny 1, seeing it being destroyed in the red war was so cool!
I actually miss Flashpoints because it wasn't just public events it was essentially "everyone go into freeroam on this planet this week" So any time I loaded into the Flashpoint planet the server would be full of people that were looking to group up and complete public events and lost sectors
Vanilla Destiny 2 were some good times. My hunter carried over from D1 so I had access to storyline dialogue that referenced your accomplishments in the previous game. I had all exotic quests completed, maxed out my character, armor looked fashionable. I remember grinding out FWC faction rally to earn all of the equipment. Had a buddy I used to be friends with play some of the first iron banner games on my account while I was on vacation so I could get some weapons, he deleted my account with all my items. R.I.P.
See, I think for a brand new character you have the option to play through the Cosmodrome start with Shaw Han, then after you complete the "Disgraced" strike and kill the hive witch the flight back to the Tower launches you into the Red War campaign. It really really annoys me that Bungie just throws new players into a city with random quests and NPCs and no clear directive of what to actually do. Then after you have completed that story playthrough once per account you have the option to skip it and go straight to the Tower for a normal new character start if you want.
I know once Light fall comes out which I believe is gonna be the last DLC that they're not gonna be doing anything for Destiny anymore. So I realllyyyy hope after a couple months of light fall that they say "Hey, here's a kinda massive size update." Then everyone launches the game and there ya go everything that got Vaulted and "removed" from the game is put back in. I dont care how big D2 would be I'd gladly have that massive 400gb game installed on my Series X
Man 2017? can't believe it's been that long. Rise of the Machine still feels like a recent expansion to me and while Taken King has started to feel like a long time ago I still feel it as "recent" like maybe 5 years. In 3 years Taken King will officially be a decade old, wtf lmao
Despite the big hate D2 received at launch, i actually enjoyed the base game a lot. It wasn't cramped full with content and allowed a lot of casual people to actually catch up with a lot of the more hardcore people. I do understand that the grinders hated that and rightfully so. However the changes of the weapon system was probably one of the best decisions they made.
I liked pre forsaken TTK in crucible much better then today’s. I’m dead before I can run around the corner today whereas I had a fighting chance before. Todays version is just not fun to me and that sucks because so many bounties, rewards, and catalysts are built around pvp.
Ye I remember started in d2 coming from d1 then realising grinding out raids wouldn't be a thing. Once I have the guns there was no reason to get them again.. no random rolls. Aweful decision lol
What I hate about how destiny 2 is that they got rid of the Main campaign and that they give everyone like 1000 power. Like, come on, I grinned from power 0 and new players are starting at 1000
Does anyone else miss the simplicity of year 1 and the style of the guns? The guns are really unrealistic now and although they look cool, I miss how the guns looked in Destiny 1 and year 1.
Every time he showed a vaulted crucible map, it struck some nostalgia heart strings. I completely forgot about some of them and then seeing them again is so sad knowing we can’t play them now even though I want to so badly.
Truthfully, I thought the campaign missions for the Red War were done very well. It was super cool having some missions requiring us to use various vehicles. I also enjoyed ending up on the Almighty and the showdown with Ghaul. There was a lot wrong with year 1, but those story missions were pretty good.
It was an amazing and epic way to come into a game. Yea it was tedious to go through it again if you wanted to make a second or third character but I personally enjoyed it. It made me sad to come back to destiny recently and find out almost everything I remember from year 1 is gone, all the planets are gone, all my gear is pointless etc. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the fact that we have so much more content now because I remember being there, being one of those complaining we had so little content which in turn making me dropping the game after doing all the endgame content besides trials multiple times. They’ve definitely made the game better in certain parts, it just makes me a little sad to see so much gone, but also proud to see how far the game as come
I thought the exact same thing, until I made a second character. I found replaying the story was so tedious. I think the problem was that it was the type of story which is so uninteresting if you know what is going to happen.
@@jonatansexdoer96 I would counter with the fact that ANY story, be it a game, book, movie, etc., is drastically less interesting when you know what is going to happen. Probably has a lot to do with people hating spoilers so much.
@@callumtaylor-forsey9067 so is combat flow. And the importance of the loot. The loot used to be rare enough that even the small pool was a "grind" to get anything worth holding. Now a days they give you dozens of variations of random guns so you load up your vault with 500 weapons of "fairly good" rolls that may become better *next season* and if something doesnt kill a boss in 2 seconds its not meta. Its honestly the opposite of engaging, enjoyable, or rewarding.
@@FirestormDDash there were no god rolls my guy, nothing else needs to be said. Boring as fuck, you get the gun once and never need it again. After 2 months of playing there was nothing to do
@@thesenate6649 i agree to that point, D1 did it better, simply by rarity and harder content per say. D2 launch honestly had the framework but was to casual focused and simply limited content. Level layout in d2 is something i never grew to accept. Hard content is basicly "lots of npcs in small space". D1 had way more dynamic engagements. Some small spaces with a flood of npcs, sure. But also huge areas with really powetful range snipers. Or boss areanas where your being hunted and pushed. D2 has went the opposite in every regard that drew interest for me. So much loot its all pointless. Unvarying engagements. Faster and faster gunplay.
Only ogs remember when hawthorne would give you free raid and trials loot
Fr I wish they kept that. Extra loot
I’m glad they removed it, players who did not deserve the loot were awarded for not participating
I got The End scout rifle and kept it all this time, despite never playing Trials of the Nine… or at least enough to warrant loot.

destiny 2 at launch felt like a step backwards from D1
i stopped playing in 17/18 just came back
I really hope they bring back the menagerie or the faction wars
Ye I remember started in d2 coming from d1 then realising grinding out raids wouldn't be a thing. Once I have the guns there was no reason to get them again.. no random rolls. Aweful decision lol
D2 vanilla was just pain in the ass
Wow I missed a lot when I took my 2 year break from destiny.
Only ogs would remember playing soccer at the farm
Man i miss flashpoints
Id like to see another
What I hate about how destiny 2 is that they got rid of the Main campaign and that they give everyone like 1000 power. Like, come on, I grinned from power 0 and new players are starting at 1000
Damn and I missed all of these damn it if only I knew destiny 2 before....
Does anyone else miss the simplicity of year 1 and the style of the guns? The guns are really unrealistic now and although they look cool, I miss how the guns looked in Destiny 1 and year 1.
Anyone remember the auto rifle
: origin story? (I have it masterworked with the og leviathan shader)
It hurts to see you get Foetracer three times
trials of the nine neeeeeeds to come back.
PVP was amazing back then
D2 released in 2017? That feels like forever ago, even with playing since y1 of d1
I HATE THAT EVERY SEASON HAS A META WHY NOT BALANCED WEAPONS, it would bring so much variety and thats what we need
So much nostalgia.. jeez time flies.
Nostalgia sure seems like popular word in 2021 .
I feel glad I joined destiny in 2017 those days were great.
As Bungie is...
Can’t be nostalgic if nobody liked it
@@nox1ck589 well Bungie playing on nostalgia to get people the seasons and DLC 🤷♂️
Every time he showed a vaulted crucible map, it struck some nostalgia heart strings. I completely forgot about some of them and then seeing them again is so sad knowing we can’t play them now even though I want to so badly.
yessir they added vostok and eternity back but i miss the awoken map
Don't worry they brought back Shiternity and Vostcock 😒
Truthfully, I thought the campaign missions for the Red War were done very well. It was super cool having some missions requiring us to use various vehicles. I also enjoyed ending up on the Almighty and the showdown with Ghaul. There was a lot wrong with year 1, but those story missions were pretty good.
I agree, loved the campaign for the most part. Kinda wish the Ghaul fight was done better, but that entire mission was beautiful
You could tell they really tried with the story in D2 Since that was a big complain in D1
It was an amazing and epic way to come into a game. Yea it was tedious to go through it again if you wanted to make a second or third character but I personally enjoyed it. It made me sad to come back to destiny recently and find out almost everything I remember from year 1 is gone, all the planets are gone, all my gear is pointless etc. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the fact that we have so much more content now because I remember being there, being one of those complaining we had so little content which in turn making me dropping the game after doing all the endgame content besides trials multiple times. They’ve definitely made the game better in certain parts, it just makes me a little sad to see so much gone, but also proud to see how far the game as come
I thought the exact same thing, until I made a second character. I found replaying the story was so tedious. I think the problem was that it was the type of story which is so uninteresting if you know what is going to happen.
@@jonatansexdoer96 I would counter with the fact that ANY story, be it a game, book, movie, etc., is drastically less interesting when you know what is going to happen. Probably has a lot to do with people hating spoilers so much.
Aside from the story, D2 launch might as well have been an earlier version of D1 with how bare bones the game actually was
Yeah, but those bones fit.
Nowadays its a hodgepodge of overkill and gimmicks.
@@FirestormDDash no, those bones did not fit. Everything felt unnatural when getting loot, and loot is basically the biggest pull of this game.
@@callumtaylor-forsey9067 so is combat flow. And the importance of the loot. The loot used to be rare enough that even the small pool was a "grind" to get anything worth holding.
Now a days they give you dozens of variations of random guns so you load up your vault with 500 weapons of "fairly good" rolls that may become better *next season* and if something doesnt kill a boss in 2 seconds its not meta.
Its honestly the opposite of engaging, enjoyable, or rewarding.
@@FirestormDDash there were no god rolls my guy, nothing else needs to be said. Boring as fuck, you get the gun once and never need it again. After 2 months of playing there was nothing to do
@@thesenate6649 i agree to that point, D1 did it better, simply by rarity and harder content per say. D2 launch honestly had the framework but was to casual focused and simply limited content.
Level layout in d2 is something i never grew to accept. Hard content is basicly "lots of npcs in small space".
D1 had way more dynamic engagements. Some small spaces with a flood of npcs, sure. But also huge areas with really powetful range snipers. Or boss areanas where your being hunted and pushed.
D2 has went the opposite in every regard that drew interest for me.
So much loot its all pointless. Unvarying engagements. Faster and faster gunplay.
