Activision and Bungie released a 7-minute gameplay video of Destiny today that they hope will sell core shooter fans on the massively multiplayer online game.

Made by the studio that created the Halo series, Destiny is a shooter game that plays like Halo but takes the storyline into a new fictional universe, where Earth is holding out against an alien invasion. Activision has bet big on Destiny, commissioning Bungie to work on multiple titles over the course of a decade. And more than 500 people are working on the game.
