#DESTINY RISE OF IRON CAMPAIGN MISSIONS UPDATE#

Called Supremacy, it plays like Call of DutyвЂs Kill Confirmed mode. IвЂ™ve never really enjoyed playing the Crucible, but the new mode theyвЂ™ve added in is actually a blast. I may have been disappointed by the mission design for the single-player, but I was actually pleasantly surprised by the multiplayer additions to Destiny. Sadly, after a few enjoyable, yet non-memorable, missions, the game ends with a boss encounter thatвЂ™s as forgettable as the rest of the story.

A lot of the battles revolve around fighting against genetically modified Fallen (which has been done by Splicers, the Fallen version of a mad scientist), that have been made more powerfulВ due to the experimentation. The gunplay in DestinyВ is still top-notch, and there are few shooters that IвЂ™d rather be getting precision kills in. There arenвЂ™t as many cutscenes or dialogue sequences here, and it makes the entire experience seem less grand in scale.Дespite this feeling like a step backwards, I canвЂ™t deny that Rise of Iron is still a lot of fun to play. ItвЂ™s a lot of running back to the temple in between missions in order to receive a paragraph of text on what to do next, and then killing a bunch of Fallen. The story revolves around a lot of obscure DestinyВ lore that had me completely lost and the narrative isnвЂ™t presented in a very compelling way. The Taken KingВ felt like such a huge step forward for DestinyВ as it added in better storytelling and mission design, and Rise of Iron largely feels like a small step backwards. ThatвЂ™s probably the most interesting story mission in the rather short campaign, which is a pretty big bummer. This hub area isnвЂ™t actually unlocked from the get-go, as the first story mission revolves around reclaiming the temple from the Fallen (which are the insect-looking enemies, if you havenвЂ™t memorized all of DestinyвЂs lore). ThereвЂ™s a new hub area here as well, which is a temple on top of a mountain that has a bunch of cute wolves living there. Destiny has never been exactly a content-rich experience, so IвЂ™m never going to be bummed about having new areas. While the location didnвЂ™t exactly wow me visually, itвЂ™s still nice to have another settingВ where I can run patrols and just explore. Sadly, the Plaguelands is a whole lot of snow, and it didnвЂ™t feel as different or interesting as previous added locations (like the giant alien spaceship called theВ Dreadnaught). Considering how Earth was the very first planet that players explore in Destiny, it was refreshing to revisit it and fight against more powerful enemies.

#DESTINY RISE OF IRON CAMPAIGN MISSIONS UPDATE#

The first major update since The Taken King hit in September of 2015, Rise of Iron adds a new set of story missions that take place in a new area of EarthВ called the Plaguelands. I recently launched DestinyВ for the first time in probably half a yearВ because the first-person shooterвЂ™s latest expansionВ - Rise of Iron -В is now available.
