the shared world aspect of the game finally clicked for me earlier and it made me wish this was a full blown MMO. it was one of the story missions on venus. the way we moved around the fields and then raced off on our sparrows felt natural and was one of the few times i understood the hook Bungie was going for. But then we entered a new region and they disappeared and i was alone again.after visiting the reef. we had to destroy this Vex eyeball turret thing before heading to the research facility to scan something (again). anyway, i thought ishtar cliffs was a private space since i was doing an enemy specific story mission, so i was surprised to see a fireteam across the cliffs also shooting at it with me.
lame.
It is such a bummer when you are getting this good flow going and you hit a new zone and they dissolve into a mist, just like my hopes and dreams. I'd really like to see them figure out a way to make that more seamless.
