There is more interesting information that is starting to surface as the release of the multiplayer first-person shooter game, 'Destiny 2' approaches. While the upcoming title is the second installment, it is in a way unique of its own. There are noticeable changes that depart the game from its predecessor.
Locked loadouts
One of the most prominent changes is the latest report that several in-game activities will not allow players to alter their loadout mid-mission. In the previous game installment, players can change between any weapons or gears that are in its inventory using a quick menu dive.
In an IGN interview with Game Director Luke Smith, he explained that players would like to spend less time in the game's menus and more time on weighing what to equip themselves in the game. He added that they have made the most difficult level of the game even tougher. The game director further said that in several activities players will be loadout locked once it started. In other words, players cannot anymore change. Let us just hope that there are abundant weapons and items that will make the loadouts fun and exciting all throughout the game.
Event timers
Another significant change coming in 'Destiny 2' is in the form of User Interface that can be observed in the map. In the previous game installment, the events on every planet took place on an invisible timer.
The player sat in the same area waiting for a tank appears or any third party timer fixes.
In the second installment, players can see the Event timers and locations right into the map UI. This is a significant change for players who have spent too much time waiting on public spaces just to complete some of the toughest bounties in the game.
