Theater Mode
So as we all know, Destiny doesn't contain a theater mode. I personally was very excited to make machinima content in such a beautiful game, and I had my hopes up that the feature would be included due to the Gamestop trailer to promote the red sparrow pre-order bonus. I tried to make a video in Destiny, regardless of the limitations that can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXZxCclfEf0
It didn't turn out well.
A common argument is that the feature just wouldn't work in an MMO. My counter however, is that it could be exclusive to the crucible. Maybe we could start private Crucible matches and act out our gameplay, then have a feature in the orbit menu, or maybe even at the tower (maybe the Crucible quarter master or whatever he's called) where we could replay Crucible matches. Maybe we could even have a feature in the patrol maps like the blind skull in Halo and just record our machinimas Halo 2 style.
I'm sure there are already a million threads just like this, I just felt obligated. And hey, maybe this is just a bad idea and it's not meant to be.
Thanks for reading br0s!

I agree with you. I think that the level of customization for characters, as well as the different abilities of the classes, opens up hundreds of new avenues for story telling. I would love to see some sort of Theater system by or before the third expansion. It would take a long time to build that kind of a system in a game as largely scaled as Destiny. The Halo franchise was much more "instanced" in the way that it played, making the resources used to render each map presumably less than what Destiny needs. I think that it will be a change we see in the future, but it will be a matter of priority of Bungie's other expansion/gameplay development cycles.
