Well, I think you might be missing part of the context of my post. If a person is comparing their BETA char to their 400 light level char with exotic armor, gear, and ALL perk trees/options unlocked...isn't it possible it's a faulty comparison?
Also, as someone that has played and still does play MANY FPS's, i'm pretty sure there's a LOT more you'd have to do to Destiny to liken it to CoD. If they added a vehicle in Destiny PVP would you then start saying, "ugh, if you want Battlefield, go play Battlefield" ??
Seems like a rather faulty stance when it's clear that supers alone are not the separation between this game and CoD.

Yes this is a beta, there is only a tiny fraction of the whole game, so we can't make too many assumptions yet. However, my opinion is that abilities and supers is what makes destiny stand out among the other fps games we have today. That's why trickle was such a hated modifier. Without abilities destiny is just like any other fps on the market. Removing them takes away from what destiny should be.

I agree with your last sentence a great deal. I'm just not sure I feel it's as dire as you portray it. I don't feel abilities have been "taken away" per se. I think it's more of a focus towards more gunplay, as a large part of the community did feel there was too MUCH focus on abilities in D1. For better or worse, i'm sure we'll see a lot of balance passes in general =)
