Report: Destiny has 32 Story Missions, 5 Explorable Areas, 23 Strike Missions and 2 Raids

According to a post that has appeared on the Destiny subreddit, users have been able to find out what the final game of Destiny will have. According to the information, Destiny, at launch, will have 32 Story missions, 11 Crucible maps, 6 Strikes, 5 Explorable Areas, 23 Strike Missions and 2 Raids

[CongoKyle]

This game just keeps getting bigger and bigger! Too amped,

[XB1_PS4]

Seems smaller and smaller to me.

[JustInTlME]

Was going to say the same thing.

[-Foxtrot]

I know right

Maybe at it's core it's actually a decent size but because of the hype and Bungies big talk over the game we've all been made to think that the game would be huge.

As I've said trying to make a huge game which is single player, co-op AND has competitive multiplayer never works. You're spreading your resources too thin, it should of just featured co-op, that's it.

I just don't want them to turn around and say "Oh wait...there's more missions" then at release go "Yeah there's more missions...as DLC"

[--Onilink--]

Why smaller and smaller?

32 missions at 20min each (without counting possible replays on harder difficulty), thats 10 hours. Definitely more than your average FPS, and asumming later story missions wouldnt take longer, which is almost a given.

23 Strike Missions at 40min each = 15h+ hours (and those are definitely replayable.

2 Raids at lets say judge on Bungie comments, 4h each. Thats 8h... (again, highly replayable for loot)

Add in some 6-7h in Explore for each map.. thats another 24+ hours.

So.. not even counting Crucible (for which I find 11 maps just fine), events, replayable strikes and raids + longer time exploring, , we are talking about 55+ hours

I thinks thats quite enough content. Hopefully judging by the name, the 2 DLC are proper expansions with new areas, strikes and missions. This game is easily about 80+hours for $90 (again without counting coompetitive multiplayer)

Its one thing to dislike the game, thats understandable, not everyone likes the same stuff, but lets not complain about things that do not merit such complains

edit: oh and I forgot multiple characters, thats some extra hours for sure

[TheFanboySlayer]

I'm gonna say 30-40 hours worth of content tops

[BattleAxe]

I can't wait to buy DLC to get the full experience.................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ................... :(

[Chaoticmoon]

Please take this with a LARGE grain of salt because this is speculation from /r/destinythegame nothing official here. It would be better to believe the earlier leak/speculation is true so that your expectations are at a good level because if you believe this and it is indeed much smaller than you will be disappointed; better to have low expectations than large ones!

[JsonHenry]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

[Samsara82]

I don't want to talk too fast but it seems a bit short considering we already did 5-6 missions in the beta. Unless the following missions are a lot longer. However, I personally really loved the beta and had a blast going through it with a bunch of friends. I hope they on later mission make your fireteam bigger than 3 players though. It was a little problematic playing with friends if you did not want to do pvp.

[JeffGUNZ]

I got the feeling those missions were easier as they were early story missions. You're trying to find the hyperdrive to travel to further distances. Once that is obtained, I feel like they will be more in depth and longer. Plus, you gotta beat the missions in the area, then re do them in the harder difficulty. More fun, more loot!

[TheXgamerLive]

Its becoming less and less the behemoth it once was and now more similar to mass effect/Halo w/a small mmo element. Halo 5 will probably be the game that Destiny hoped to be.
If they added more better public event/s or actually bigger public events then we'd have more reason to hang out n play. For example a search and destroy mission in an unused story mode area. It only makes sence more area of a map will open/unlock with time, expansions they'll probably call them. I just hope their huge and are worth the time and money.
This game needs to be atleast a 100 gig d/l to have the size their boasting.

[DesVader]

Nice that is more than just a shooter.

[GabeSA]

i cant wait

[hiredhelp]

2 disagrees on each hmmm something telling me we may have a Upset halo fans..?

[pompombrum]

Why would halo fans be upset? I'm a huge halo fan and loved the beta.

[Sm00thNinja]

Maybe your right hiredhelp :/. I've seen shallower things at N4G

[Sm00thNinja]

This comment is so idiotic..... Game is on Xbone why would Halo fans be upset??? I'm getting it on PS4 but Xbone players have the same game. Because its made by Bungie maybe? Halo this is not

[hiredhelp]

You know maybe im wrong just first gut feeling i had.
Look at it like this bungie CREATED Halo fact. they close with MS now there gone multiplatform wich does bennifit both platforms I agree..
But maybe some upset that bungie made this move idk just saying man.
my bad

[creatchee]

@hiredhelp

You're looking for something that isn't there, and stirring a pot that doesn't need you to stir it.

[hiredhelp]

Like i said that my thoughts on it my bad as i said. at least im saying sorry more than some.
stiring the pot not really I speak my mind people dont like it fair play.

[TM333]

You and I both know you're not far off on that. I'll get a bunch of disagrees from that same bunch, but I don't care. Hardcore Halo fans feel betrayed that Bungie isn't exclusive to Xbox anymore, and that Playstation got early rights to Destiny with the Alpha and Beta. Personally, I LOVE it. All that fanaticism makes me want to misbehave badly, and that's not healthy.

[Lawboy2]

To be quite honest....the reason I love destiny is because I love halo so much....and it's funny to me anyone who says they don't like halo but love destiny because even though the games are very different they have a lot of similarities and when I say similarities it's almost copy and paste....take the sniper for instance it's the same sniper from halo....take the little circle and put it on the enemies head and pull the trigger headshot everytime...

@ tm333

I'm a hardcore halo fan....trust me I love the destiny beta

[Wizziokid]

can't wait for the raids!

[joab777]

Thats is pretty damn good for the beginning...as this game will grow and grow.

[CongoKyle]

Yeah there's so much they can do from here on out! Radis are gonna be amazing.

[markyboy2181]

is that it ? the full game only has 32 missions when thewyve already given us 6 in the beta ....... i think itll be close to double that

[HoldenZA]

The 32 missions is just what they could find within the Beta database.... There will most likely be more in the full release

[TimeSkipLuffy]

I believe 32 missions will be included in the retail version and many more will be released later as DLC. They don't use micro transactions and a monthly fee for their "MMO" style game. Therefore DLC will be the way to earn money.

[Menkyo]

@Timeskipluffy they have already said Micro transactions will be part of the game. What do you think the special hut was for on the tower?

[Onenyte]

Considering the level cap (for now) is 20, I think that's all we are going to get . If all the missions are going to be the same length as the others on the beta,those 32 missions will be finished within a nice weekend.

[kneon]

It took about 3 hours to hit level 8 in the beta, hopefully the progression is not linear, otherwise you could hit level 20 on the first day if you really wanted to.

[iceman06]

You have to remember, level 20 really isn't the end. This game will be probably be more like Diablo, where gear and armor are as important (if not MORE so) in determining the outcome in higher tiered encounters. Plus, we have yet to see how the subclass stuff even works.

[Baka-akaB]

Lol i know someone would go "is that it ?" . You dont even know the length of all missions nor if you'll be able to complete some of the later ones , and you know it's a mmo type of game .

They are going to add content over time obviously

[TheWackyMan]

And presumably bungie will add more content via updates and (shiver) dlc.

[Tedakin]

Does 5 explorable areas mean 5 planets/areas like Old Russia?

[CongoKyle]

I'd assume so. Maybe a larger planet with more explorable areas.

[WeAreLegion]

I'm sure there will be more content. Just wait for the official release from Bungie.

They've already confirmed 7 planets and the moon.

[Meatyboy]

And there's been pics of a snowy map and theyve mentioned a spacevstation orbiting saturn :)

[--Onilink--]

yeah, the snowy map is supposed to be Europa (the moon not the continent lol)

[Qwagy UK]

Pick this up when it goes cheap.

[purp13m0nk3y]

That's awesome! And I fully expect heaps of DLC as the game evolves. I'm thinking new planets and systems as we take back what the darkness claimed hundreds of years ago.

What I'm not excited about is the prospect of having to pay addition fees each time new content is released. I'd pay for a one off season pass (like BF4) but Activision can go eat a whole bowl of d**k if they try charge for each DLC separately!

[Jeff257]

Well the Season Pass they are adding into the limited editions of the game can also be bought separately only covers the first two expansion packs. The two they have announced are The Dark Below and House Of Wolves. Each is supposed to include new missions and items for every mode of the game. I am not sure how they will handle expanding it beyond those two but at least we do know about the first two planned ones already. I had enough fun with the game that I look forward to seeing how it gets expanded and I have no problem paying for more content as long as it is quality content.

[Meltic]

I really hope in the final version there is some NPC's on the planets

[Onenyte]

I do think NPC do make the experience more appealing.

[TimeSkipLuffy]

I'm more worried about the missing NPCs to interact with... I hope there will be more going on in the retail version. A bigger map would be great, too. Feels way too small for exploration... maybe because nothing really happens or the same thing happens over and over again...
It doesn't feel like an MMO to me yet...

[SeraphimNympho]

That could be because it's *not* an MMO. Bungie has avoided calling it an MMO and has explicitly told people not to expect it to be one - the terms they've used have been things like "shared world shooter" - never MMO. I don't know why people keep acting like it's supposed to be an MMO.

[DARK WITNESS]

so basically...

It's an MMO which they don't want to call an MMo because it doesn't really meet up to the scale of what would normally be expected from an MMO.

The fact is it does not matter what they call it. after playing it people will compare it to the closes experience to it - an MMO.

[TimeSkipLuffy]

The media is using the term MMO quite a lot with Destiny. Even if sometimes they mention it only has elements of MMO. But I guess you're right because I felt it wasn't the MMO infused game that I wanted it to be. It only has a few MMO elements tops. After the beta I guess Destiny is just another Multiplayer FPS with a single / co-op player campaign.

[Baka-akaB]

I feel it is mostly a MMO and the rest of their wording is just PR . They just wanna avoid the MMO=WoW or MMO=Subs or MMO=pay to win , mind connections with the mainstream public .

It's hardly the first , outside of the fps genre , to tailor it to offer a more contained and story driven experience that doesnt make you feel lost in a massive generic shuffle of saviors of the universe .

PS : I'm still excited , i just dont care for their PR and will call a spade a spade .

[mx104]

There must be a hater going through marking Disagree on all comments. This game is looking awesome and theres definitely more than 5 areas to explore. Just wiki destiny and look

[danowat]

Looking forward to this!!!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Loved the beta. This will certainly bury all the other major FPS's of the year.

[mrmonk]

Can't wait for this hopefully more customizing character options is in full game & i hope with the dlc it keeps getting bigger & bigger if so will b awesome

[GabeSA]

Im quite excited for the MMO aspects, including the Raids. Totally different spin on FPS rather than RPG. Not to mention how beautiful the game is.

[theshredded]

Prepare to be disappointed,glad I wasn't hyped about this game since it was announced

[Gr1mmyshadows]

this game will be amazing, bet on that. Wait for bungie to confirm this instead of believing what people are scrounging up thru beta info. after all it is Bungie and they know how to make a damn good game

[BeardedPriest]

I was hoping for a little more.

[90Supra]

Can't wait...

The game drops on my birthday...

Got the 5th thru the 10th off work...

Vegas for the weekend, then Destiny for a couple days...

[modesign]

wow, this game is going to be behind a massive paywall, ive played free to play games that have had massive amounts of content compared to this.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

I'm hyped:)

[LightDiego]

Sasuke is here, our savior.
I'm hyped too.

[MatriXcian]

Having only one location per world is ridiculous. Bungie overhyped this game to the fullest and one location per world seem like an INSANE waste of resources.

[JeffGUNZ]

Relax man. Wait for an official release from Bungie. They have said the beta has barely scratched the surface. Bungie is a good studio who is loved and worshiped by Halo fans. They earned the benefit of doubt so lets give them that.

[--Onilink--]

also, even on the beta in Old Russia the maps were pretty big and there were several areas that we still couldnt access.

Same thing on the moon(which is the smallest of the areas). In the 2 hours i had to explore there were 2 large structures to explore with several locked areas

[jegheist2014]

10 years worth content you think there gonna give u all that content day 1 roflmao.

this irght here will give u hundreds ifn ot thousands of hours of gameplay for all 3 classes.

nevermind futre classes as expansions missions guns level cap raised etc over next 10 years.

gamers r so entitled these days they look at numbers of missions rather then hours of content to complete this stuff i gurantee u even with all that you got yourm oneys worth.

people will pay 40-60 bucks for monster hunter not complain one gd dime with repetive map of same area.

but destiny has several locations to visit people r complaining its not enough right there is inconsistence make no sense.

youll play mh less explorable map but destiny has bigger explorable map but yall say it has no content roflmao gtfo here with your crap peoples

[MatriXcian]

The ten years of content will be in the form of sequals. Bungie has already stated that Destiny will be a trilogy that will last 10 years. The one destination per world is a major dissapointment the Earth is alot bigger than just "old russia" and ignoring what may be going on in the rest of the world seems to be a major oversight.

[BattleTorn]

I'm so hyped - but :( only 5 explorable areas? Lame.

I was disappointed by how small and boring old Russia was...

And judging by there only being 5, I must presume that is the only desinaion on Earth? The rest being other planets...

So really the full retail game only has 3, cause we know 1 is Earth, 1 is the Moon.

[kantenkopf]

Wow this is really disappointing. Thought the game would be way bigger.

[DxnnyB]

Crucible Maps:

Earth:
Twilight Gap
Rusted Lands
Exodus Blue (PlayStation exclusive)

Moon:
First Light
The Anomaly

Mars:
Bastion
Firebase Delphi
Blind Watch

Venus:
Asylum
Shores of Time

Mercury:
The Burning Shrine
(All maps include Clash, Skirmish, Rumble, Control, and Salvage game modes)

[DxnnyB]

Also this article is talking about only explorable areas being 5, while on the other hand there is a total of 40 raids and strike missions that are available when the game is released. This game is huge and for anyone to expect Bungie/Activision to have more than just 5 HUGE explorable maps is just greedy and needs to explore other parts of the game such as PvP.

This game got also update mid Beta! I have never seen a console game do this before and that excites me because it means Bungie/Activision are going to keep expanding and fine tuning this game till it is better then what we can even imagine.

[Systemshock2]

So 5 areas with one locations and 32 missions in same 5 locations over and again. Yeah its CONTENT. :P

[Paul_JC]

Im nervous about excessive and exploitative DLC for this game...

[iceman06]

This is one of the most rational comments in this thread. We truly have no idea if this information is true or not. That being said, it's only natural to worry about the plans for DLC and the possibility of holding back content for it. THAT, IMO, should be the discussion. Bungie has made no official statement that I have seen on numbers of missions, strikes, etc. I've even heard that the "1 destination" comment was taken out of context. So, I will patiently wait for more information from the devs before I brandish my pitchfork and join the mob mentality surrounding this game. (Honestly, I won't be joining that mob...I'll just decide for myself whether or not it's a worthy purchase!)

[turdburgler1080]

Activision and Bobby kotick are setting this game up to Rob fools of their money. What's that? You want a few more levels? That will be $30 please. Want new weapons? $10. I bet when you walk into Activisions lobby there's a huge placard on the wall that says "there's a sucker born every minute."
