Destiny 2: Hands-on video capture of a live Strike co-op mission

I played in one of the first hands-on gameplay sessions yesterday with Bungie’s Destiny 2.

And I wasn’t all that bad at it. The gunplay in Destiny 2 feels much better than it did back when the original Destiny debuted in 2014. Back then, it felt harder to hit a target and bring it down all by yourself. This time, while playing solo and in co-op mode on the PlayStation 4 and the PC, I felt like I was in control. I was able to capture video of my co-op Strike session on a map called Inverted Spire.
