I have yet to really be a part of a community that's waiting in eager excitement for a new IP.
I've been here/there for Halos, but Halo is different. It has this fan base that can never be satisfied, please someone, there will always be someone upset because you're messing with their Halo.
With Destiny, you can't mess with someone's "Destiny" because it's not theirs yet. I'm not sure if it will all be cherries and rainbows leading up to the launch or if it will be like the Halos, where there's always someone upset with some news they hear about Destiny.
Wouldn't surprise me. Since the majority of Bungie fans are fans because of Halo, and therefore they are Halo fans. Naturally they will probably desire something like Halo, and be upset if there is something in Destiny that they wouldn't like in Halo.
So you'll probably get a majority that is happy, a vocal group of people who downright hate Destiny because it's not Halo, and some people who will discuss game mechanics in a proper manner, maybe with skepticism, but not outright hate.
'Tis a tricky thing this community is.
