Last Friday, shortly after the launch of Destiny 2's new dungeon, players began being booted. It didn't matter what activity you were in, even social spaces weren't safe: You could barely break into a sprint before succumbing to one of the network errors that Bungie has given evocative names like 'CALABRESE' and 'WEASEL'...

Destiny 2: Lightfall almost looks good enough to make me forget the grind

A new trailer for Destiny 2: Lightfall hot and fresh out of The Geoffries tonight certainly makes the next expansion for Bungie's MMOFPS look cool.
