All aboard the new hype train

More console uploaded a pic to Twitter showing what seems to be a briefing relating to future DLC. He did not state a source so I had a peek for one. This is what I found http://segmentnext.com/2015/01/02/destiny-comet-vex-forge-god-future-dlcs/ ALL ABOARD THE POLAR EXPRESS.... oops.... I mean HYPE TRAIN!!!!!!! That is a butt load of content, I see new classes and weapon types mentioned, can anybody clean the image up? I am giving it a shot also

  • Assuming that the image is still current (which is a big assumption right now), the existence of the Comet is still the biggest news, in my opinion. From a marketing point of view, it makes perfect sense. The DLC is holdover content until the larger expansion takes place, and that expansion is right between the release of the original game and whatever Destiny 2 will ultimately be. At the very least, it jibes with what was in the released contract, still. Am going to be very curious about the pricing model. Can see it going down one of two ways. The obvious way would be that it is a for-cost release at a yet-to-be-determined price point. From a marketing perspective, though, to increase player count and start to build hype for Destiny 2, I could also see it being free - with a catch. They could make it free, but give it a prerequisite of both TDB and HoW. I honestly would not be surprised if they did that, because they could possibly stand to make more money doing it that way. It could also open up a door for them to release a player's choice/platinum/limited/whatever edition around that point that includes the base game and DLC, to get a secondary boost of potential players. However they go about it, it should shed some insight as to what we can expect on how they will do this for future iterations of the game, as well. On a personal note, I am definitely looking forward to it. The new Patrol in the Comet is probably the most intriguing thing to me, right now. Would love for that to be a new destination on Earth, such as the European Darkness Zone, Mumbai Push, Eastern Flood Zone, or Old Chicago. Considering that we have yet to see them revisit the reawakening of the Traveler, and there are, tentatively and theoretically, 12 story missions in the Comet, perhaps that is where that story line resumes?
