I feel I have come up with a good idea for a future destiny expansion.
---
I'll get straight to the point. ODST.
ODST was (IMO) a great game, and I propose the idea of the next expansions campaign being styled like ODST.
We would get a new patrol zone, and weapons armor etc. but the story would be a mystery around discovering what happened to a fire-team sent to investigate readings that look like the Vex may be coming to earth. (Or something else)
Your Guardian would be set on a series of seamlessly connected missions as you explore a massive location on earth full of clues. It would play out like ODST, where you explore with "stealth" (not MGS style, but like ODST, creeping in the dark and enemies have no clue your there for a while) during the night to find clues leading to what happened to the fire-team.
When you find a clue, it would start a cut-scene, and like ODST, initiate a flashback were you play as a [i]different guardian[/i] with its own weapon set, subclass tree setup and even a different class. This would allow the player (If they don't already run all 3 classes) to experience the other classes and have a new experience with the game, making it feel [u]new[/u]er.
Eventually the clues could all add up into a satisfying conclusion were you find a [u]class specific weapon[/u] (Depending on your class) that you must use (Possibly with the help of 2 other NPC guardians of the other classes as survivors) to destroy the vex threat, which could be a giant Harpy with tracking missiles and the ability to spit normal harpies out like a walker.
It would be a very story focused campaign taking you all around the new area, be chock-full of Easter-eggs and scannables from the golden age, along with the interesting ability to play as a guardian of a different class, and even fight along some NPC guardians for a bad-ass boss-fight!
What do you think? Does an ODST style campaign appeal to you? What would you change about this idea I proposed? Did you even understand what I wrote? If this did become a real thing, who would you like to meet in the campaign? Would you like to see new guardians get put into the lore, or have existing ones used? Will someone ever leave feedback? The possibilities are [u]not[/u] endless!

...stealth? But it's interesting. But I don't think it'd fit with the rest of the game. But it'd be cool as a comic or story. Write it!
