Destiny 2 - The Red War Campaign • Full Main Story

[@snick9314]

The red war for sure had its problems but it did a much better job at introducing the world/universe of destiny to a new player than anything else we have currently. Maybe a cut down version without as much filler content would be more managable. Its just a shame to have so much of bungies work just gone from history. Also red war certainly had some of the best ost's the game has ever seen with Journey and the first theme for the farm when u arrive.

[@nikosmosxos5856]

Also it's what destiny 2 was really about

[@TacticalEd762]

Yeah I agree me and my brother came up with a better plot for new light at 2AM rather than the boring cosmodrome actually I’ll write it In another reply

[@TacticalEd762]

Actually I’ll make a new comment

[@kasiphia]

Forget it being a better new player experience or whatever. It's simply a massive part of the lore, and for it to just be removed is beyond sad.

Nah, red war was good but curse of isiris and warmind were mediocre at best

[@STH151NicoleFan]

They should’ve just released the final 3 expansions as a separate game or Destiny 3. Removing campaigns from a game to make room for more expansions is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I miss this campaign so much, back when I pre-ordered I was excited to see the stakes be so high with a new formidable foe, this campaign signifies Destiny to a capital D, the fantasy of being a guardian and having amazing powers/strength, the big action packed moments and the pure adventure and thrill of reclaiming your power and taking back the traveler is such a great storyline

[@itzexodus9205]

THIS felt like stepping into a middle of a war. Not just one war, but multiple at multiple fronts. All odds shading your favor whilst still prevailing. Its what Lightfall SHOULD have been but was not

[@omgitsh0udini358]

[@andrewchu5050]

Really cool campaign that's made funnier due to the fact that you're playing it during forsaken after Cayde's death. I also thought it was funny seeing ionic traces during the segment where the guardian loses light. I would die for this campaign to come back it's so cinematic at least in the intro.

[@TRN-489]

Rip Cayde, he was such a good character😢

[@alucard624]

Homecoming is the best landscape we ever had, just wow

[@csnation]

Good ol Red War. Note that Chaos reach was not available until Forsaken and finishers are from Shadow Keep. So he probably re-played it before sunset then recorded it somewhere and forgotten about it lol.. Even though Red War has it's problems, it is a FAR FAR FAR better introduction to Destiny 2 than whatever Shaw Han does.

[@slipspacesurvivalist9416]

...I'm sorry, you know how incredibly WEIRD it is to see the pyramid ship there for the Io cutscene?! I think I'm just going to blame vex time shenanigans for this one...

This was recorded around about when shadow keep came out and before the release of beyond light on November the tenth in 2020 the same year as I got the wayfarer tattoo .

Better new light story Idea The ghost explains what all happened in the prior years to the dcv forsaken red war and it’s dlc you get the idea, You awaken on Io in the very last moments of it before it was removed the pyramid engulfing it you are in the warmind bunker and have no guns you exit seeing a dead guardian lying on the ground ghost shattered to bits and the Pariah auto rifle you pick it up and have to evacuate after fighting hordes of taken you eventually arrive in an abandoned hangar where a bunch of fallen lie dead due to the pyramids coming in the fallen resurrected as scorn you have to fight out finding a hardly functional ship you fly out barely escaping only to Io disappear, The next mission takes you to Nessus where you meet failsafe she explains a guardian akin to you was here a few years ago explaining some of the plot to the red war you first go to Cayde’s ship to get a piece to partially restore your ship but you need to get more parts so you go to the colony ship ghost remarks how some of the technology is very similar to some stuff found on Titan he explains the concept of light and dark you go to the captains old office and find a warp drive and a sidearm based off the 1911 called the antique pistol you only pickup commons and uncommons for progressions sake but this pistol is a rare you make it back to your ship you pack it up and leave Nessus but you can’t enter the tower normally due to security complications you’ll have to go through the wall of the tower so you now go to a new location The Central American Dead zone You land and you can see the tower in the distance so you make your way through the jungle and abandon city where we are truly introduced to the fallen and they have control over the territory you fight your way through and meet a small fireteam along the way they are a wandering group of vendors essentially anyways there is a cutscene where you and the group sit around a camp fire they tell you about red war and how the served in it and curse of osiris and warmind the hunter of the group brings up cayde’s death and the events of Forsaken you leave very early in the morning the sun isn’t out yet you hike to the panama ravine you find a spent 10 Gauge shotgun shell ghost tells you to pick it up he tells you about amanda holiday and her life he says it’ll be good to go on her memorial things are going well until it’s broken by a vandal’s wire rifle charging a shot and a horde of fallen approaching Zavala calls through a radio signal to help fight the incursion a guardian arrives joined by others shaxx shows up and yells for you to grab a heavy you can select a LMG RPG or GL you fight until sunrise when you score the final blow on the last fallen which is an archon in a cutscene you use a 1911 shaxx congratulates you You now arrive in the last city where you are tasked with meeting everyone you get the Idea Zavala commands you to go do reconnaissance in the EDZ and Cosmodrome which was ravaged by the siva crisis and you end up getting a quest much like the Khvostov rising quest to get the old pistol but exotic you have to find parts to it and you wind up around the tangled shore fighting fallen and have to get some stuff as Spider has the new hammer mechanism for the gun you fight your way back to the sunken tank lost sector which is now a vibrant fallen night club you fight your way through to the final boss who is a rising kell last minute Spider tells you to not kill him but take him alive as he was a defector from spider you extract him and fly back to the fallen sector of the last city You give spider the defector and earn the new exotic called the Warfighter ghost takes you to a rooftop and explains you have a lot to learn about being a guardian And that concludes the better new light campaign.

[@JustATempest]

​@user-mv8gj4cp8m years ago. The file size of the game was too big. An the destiny team had to make sure each campaign would be balanced with the each other. The team did not want to maintain legacy content. They also wanted to switch to a free to play model. They call it content sunseting. I bought the destiny 2 collection edition. I bought an played destiny 1 and it's expansions day one. Never again. I will never agien play or spend and thing on a Bungie game after they stole from me.

[@anneloxis1795]

My biggest problem with the game now is the onboarding process for new players. It is the most watered down yet confusing mess of an introduction, and after it’s done, you are left with nothing but an unclear idea of how to play the game. And sadly, there is no actual campaign for new players anymore. Red war was actually one of my favorites throughout the entire history of the game and a campaign would be the most straightforward way to introduce players to the game. And now, the only semblance of a proper campaign is locked behind another paywall.

Today I decided to replay destiny 2 after not having completed this campaign years ago, and after like an hour or two playing I am baffled at how bungie decided to completely abandon this story. It isn’t perfect sure, but it is LEAGUES better than what I just played. I was so bored and disinterested with this new one which just doesn’t have the same engagement and intensity this has. Like why would bungie decide to almost completely copy and paste the first game’s intro with minor changes added that are pointless and forgettable. I just don’t give a shit about this Shaw guy, I wanna see what’s going on with the characters that I am FAMILIAR with. I bet this has already been said before many times but I just needed to say a few things myself because I’m just so disappointed with what I just witnessed.
