1. Gun play and overall controls feels very smooth and responsive. 2. Hitbox/ collision detection on you and enemies are top notch. 3. It doesn't hold your hand to victory when it comes to challenge. 4. Co-op is very tolerable compared to Borderlands. 5. loot systems feels less grindy compared to Borderlands as Borderlands constantly rewards you little by little; giving a tons guns with slightly altered stats that you don't really need so the changes are very miniscule. In Destiny for example you get 2 different legendary shotguns; first one with a damage perk and reload perk and another legendary with a reload/range perk. In Destiny you get fewer weapon options but are more specific in so in short the design behind this is, "Less is more." The results feels more rewarding.
