The Cabal are a military-industrial empire of gigantic amphibians who have established massive fortifications on Mars. Comparable to the Roman Empire, they have seized a large portion of the galaxy around their homeworld and have been continually expanding for new territories. Their bases on Mars are seen as scouting missions for a potential invasion of Earth. [35] Since Destiny 2 's Season of the Chosen, the Cabal leadership has made a truce with the Vanguard due to their common foes of the Hive and the Darkness, but there remain many splinter Cabal groups that fight against the Last City. Strikes" are cooperative missions played with a party of three players that culminate with a boss; most strikes are side missions that are not part of the main plot. Players can play much harder versions of the strikes in what are called the SIVA Crisis Strike (formerly Vanguard Heroic Playlist) and the Weekly Nightfall Strike, which grant bonus rewards. While the SIVA Crisis is a playlist of strikes from The Taken King and Rise of Iron (as well as older strikes updated with Taken and SIVA-infected enemies), the Weekly Nightfall Strike, which is harder than heroic, is only one strike that changes every week with a chance for greater rewards. The Daily Heroic Story Mission, SIVA Crisis Strike, and Weekly Nightfall Strike each feature game modifiers that increase difficulty. Game modifiers can be positive or negative for the player. For example, a positive modifier would be "Small Arms", where damage for the player's primary weapons are doubled, but a negative modifier would be "Chaff", where the player's radar is disabled. Raids are advanced cooperative missions designed to be played by a team of six players — the only PvE game type that allows more than three players in a fireteam. Raids culminate with the elimination of a major boss that relates to the story. [14] [15] [16] With the release of Rise of Iron, there are four raids in Destiny. Those raids include the Vault of Glass, Crota's End, King's Fall, and Wrath of the Machine.

Curiously, Bungie has chosen to deploy this on both Xbox 360 and PS3, despite the Microsoft console's fast eDRAM which - in the past - has been shown to handle effects like this at full resolution.

Consistently excellent music magnifies that sensation, deftly driving the action forward during big firefights, and conveying a sense of wonder and mystery in between them. Even the somewhat over-indulgent load screen animations between worlds are eye-catching. Bungie made lemonade out of lemons here. Going from one planet to the other takes way too long, but it’s wisely used as an opportunity to double down on the idea that all these places are connected. Despite the criticism, the game received the title of Game of the Year from GamesRadar, [179] the BAFTA Award for Best Game at the British Academy Video Games Awards. [180] At the 2014 National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR), the game won Original Dramatic Score, New IP and Control Precision, and was nominated for Game Design (New IP), Control Design (3D), Character Design and Art Direction (Contemporary). [181] During the 18th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences awarded Destiny with " Action Game of the Year" and outstanding achievements in " Online Gameplay", " Original Music Composition", and " Sound Design"; it also received nominations for "Outstanding Innovation in Gaming" and " Game of the Year".
