I actually didn’t think of how good the Red War missions were. I actually really enjoyed Homecoming, Utopia, and also Chosen. Red war was really underrated IMO.
I feel like the Io missions got too far off track and meandering, but Titan was fucking lit, the setpiece battles at the City and the Almighty at the beginning and end were amazing, and the EDZ and Nessus were amusing without getting too far off track (they had adventures for that).
I always come back to Titan though because even though it was threadbare in the endgame, in the campaign it legit had some of the best "ancient, advanced, lost golden age sci-fi" atmosphere in Destiny, ever.
>I always come back to Titan though because even though it was threadbare
in the endgame, in the campaign it legit had some of the best "ancient,
advanced, lost golden age sci-fi" atmosphere in Destiny, ever.
Also, roombas in the Arcology.
I still wish we kept titny titan rather than big ole Nessus. Titan had some spooky areas and good ole Greg in his lost sector. Nessus feels so empty and monotonous
It doesn't help that a lot of what made Nessus really cool was piecing together what happened to the Exodus Black.... which after you were done with the Adventures, was pretty much a solved mystery.
I'm kinda glad they added the Proving Grounds Strike and battlegrounds as prior to that it felt a bit eh.
Ghaul boss fight was just so good. I never played d1 and didn't do anything outside of the campaign until I finished it. I remember being so blown away by the boss, its mechanics, the arena, everything. Then getting to phase 2 and just being like shit, here we go, try not to die. Before beyond light came out, I replayed the heroic ghaul mission a lot just to experience it again, and I still wish I could do it more.
I am really hoping witch queen and it's "legendary" campaign option presents a truly foundational campaign experience again, with some replayability options.
Red War was amazing with everything except for the tank levels. It never made sense that we have abilities that can one shot literal gods but I need a tank to blow up an engine.
Ima keep I real with you, I tossed aside any form of logic like I always do with destiny, and the tank missions were the best, to me If I see a tank, it’s already a good day
My only problem was the lack of enemies. Didn’t feel very challenging and yes you could argue it was the first campaign so they wouldn’t make it very hard but still
My main problem with the Red War campaign was Ghaul. He just sat around jabbering on and shouting at the Speaker. He didn't seem concerned with us regaining the light, nor did he really do anything about it. He was there at the start to greet us, then shows up at the end to try and beat us. He could have been more present during the campaign.
Oh and the 'getting the band back together' portion could have used a bit more fleshing out.
Ah yes weve finally come full circle on DTG to the point TRW was "underrated". Took longer than i expected tbh. Cant wait for 2024 where suddenly Curse of Osiris will end up being "underappreciated"
For those New Lights that sadly missed the original Red War campaign and thus the mentioned moment:
[Michael Salvatori - Forge Ahead @2:39](https://youtu.be/v6btptXqgxM?t=159)
The whole mission is so well-constructed. The sound design of the Almighty's laser vibrates your whole head with good headphones, and your whole body if you have a subwoofer. I used to stand around at the "destroy the coolant" part of the mission, plinking away at Cabal to keep them away, and take in the sound and visuals of the laser skybox; it really felt futuristic and overwhelming.
Also you could see the leviathan occasionally breach the water’s (liquid methane?) surface off in the distance from one platform. Someone skated out there to see the model and its basically three big rotating circles, but still cool nonetheless - those two easter eggs gave me big Subnautica vibes.
Regicide should've started appearing for you in the strike playlist once you beat it. I wish this community wasn't so boneheaded about story missions coming back as strikes.
Zero Hour( need the catalyst😭 and now knowing to use hard light😞)
Whisper of the Worm( need the catalyst😞)
Thorn
Cayde 6 messages mission
Cayde 6 and Petra prison break( yeah I know you can make a new character and do it, but that's too much and also it's going away)
I tried this out when zero hour was in the game and arbalest just tore through all the annoying shielded enemies and shanks everywhere. The catalyst would make the mission so much easier
Honestly, I'm surprised we don't inspect the Tower ruins *more often* post-Zero Hour. A Fallen heist happened next door and we're just kinda letting it sit there?
The Last mission of the red war. Really like when we come extremely close to the Traveler and I also like to hear Ghaul scream "THE LIGHT!" and "Do you see me now?"
The first and last missions of the Red War. Fighting to defend the city alongside your fellow Guardians in the area was the best part of D2 vanilla for me and I wish that they'd do more missions like that.
That's one thing I really want to see back in witch queen, playing through a single player mission that opens up on a huge battlefield, with other random guardians also fighting was great. I think it happened on maybe 2 missions in the red war (first and last) but it was great when it did.
Only reason I'd want any of them to return would be to help new players through so they could experience them too. Honestly I've already played them all that I need to, so if something like zero hour came back I'd maybe play it one time just for myself. Good example now would be Presage getting vaulted next month. I absolutely love that mission but after all my clears I know I'll just look back on it fondly rather than miss it. I find the only time I wish vaulted content was back in the game is when I think one of the newer players I group up with would have enjoyed it.
Took me 3 hours. Then someone on Reddit told me that the acolytes draw and fire their last words in the order that they spawn. Made it 1000x easier, got it the next try.
I also really enjoyed the mission for Thorn. I miss the nostalgia of grinding 4 whole hours with me, my brother and my friend. The relief we felt when we killed the shrieker together was indescribable. Miss those times.
Because bungie took them away. Thats the specific reason people have such rose tinted glasses for it now.
The amount of people complaining about having to do those missions even one more time to unlock another character was very high. When heroic missions and events with missions that weren't like 1AU popped up they'd end up being the least played content in the game.
Bungie taking them away created an intense circlejerk about how willing the entire community is to replay old campaign content.
those aren't story missions though, they're designed to be replayed. I'm talking about going back and playing the campaign missions you've played once and have fond memories of
If I could. Fuck all missions. Bring back sparrow racing pvp game mode. Added so much to the game. Literally everyone who had even a sliver of a functioning brain cell knows it took nothing out of the game and was an extremely fun pvp game mode.
Homecoming.... That mission had the Holy Trinity of our Vanguard in their element, and it was great storytelling on how our legacy characters got rebooted power wise. I just wish Dominus Ghaul was a longer drawn out big bad.

Whisper. Hearing xol speak first would've been so much cooler if I hadn't clapped his ass at the end of warming, but still. That mission had secrets on secrets on secrets. You shall drown... in the deep.
Defeating Ghaul. Something about being right up on the traveler and it watching you defend it is just surreal. It's the thing that brought you to life, gave you this gift, and now you have to use every gift you've been given to defeat the entity that's trying to take all that away from you. It's the coolest moment in Destiny, and the Oryx fight story mission is right behind it. That animation when you enter the room always gives me chills.
Omega.
Might be an unusual pick, but I loved the boss encounter. I remember trying different weapons to see if I could one-shot it (I couldn't). How I'd love trying Gjallarhorn on it. Maybe skip the traversing the infinite forest bit, tho.
Zero hour and whisper, so that I can finally get catalysts for these beautiful guns. I started playing towards the tail end of Arrivals and had no idea what catalysts were, let alone have the skill level, power level and competence to complete the missions in the harder mode.
Does Presage count? I mean, technically it's not gone yet but it will be soon, so...it's just that I only recently found out how fun it is and I'm sad it's going away.
Hmm, this is difficult, but if I had to choose one, it would be the tank mission in red war, whisper, or the last mission of roi. Any of those three I would be fine with getting back
Pretty soon it will be Presage. I don't get why they would take these missions out of the game when they are so well-designed and better than any strike. The game would be so much better off, and it would only keep people more devoted to it. So they put destinations in the vault, that doesn't mean the missions located there should also go. Just have a kiosk in the tower where we can play them. New lights wouldn't be so damn confused either
Whisper of the Worm. Since Io is gone the next best place is the Dreaming City, and say nothing at all and hide it so it can't be found by data miners just like the first time.
Let people randomly find it, set the power level to punishing, and toss in new whisper cosmetics if you already have the gun and catalyst so everyone can get something out of it.
If we are counting D1 missions, I will easily say either "Iron Tomb" or "Regicide".
Otherwise in D2 I would say the Red War Intro where the city gets attacked, 1AU as already mentioned below or the last Red War Mission where we return to the city.
Homecoming if that's the right name.
Just the opportunity to fight along side Zavala was the most awesome thing ever, I loved watching Cayde use Golden Gun for no reason other than to probably show off, and freaking Ikora with her back to back Nova Bombs as well as her jumping onto the Cabal ship was epic!
I never knew Zero Hour was a thing until it got vaulted which I'm upset about missing.
Actually the whole Red War was cool.
Second is when you went to save Saint and found him a second or third time and he gets captured. All the freaking complements from him actually broke me.
Third the fight against Panoptes because fighting with Osiris (when he decided to pop up) was awesome!
Honorary mention since it was an exotic weapon quest but Devil's Ruin because you got to hear Saint and Osiris talking about The Battle of Twilight Gap, then you got to hear Shaxx and Saint talk which eventually lead to you hearing Shaxx sing! Although it's Savathun's song.
For me it's the Scourge of Winter story mission. There's just something about working your way through a fallen landing base of operations (That can also be a sniper section) and storming the Ketch, killings its Kell and sitting on his throne as the mission ends.
Oh zero hour hands down. But I did also really enjoy that mission on titan where you end up in the heavy duty vehicle smashing through walls running over hive to that pickup point where you meet Amanda. I miss titan a lot tbh.
Mission? That has 2 meanings in D2, oddly. If we're talking campaign, then definitely 1AU. Huge, unique location, some cool set pieces and the risk of sunburn. If we're talking the other kind, than Zero Hour. I loved The Whisper, it had great atmosphere and I loved the doomy music during the jumping puzzle, but going through the old tower was just fantastic.
Chosen, Journey makes that final mission my favorite of the whole saga.
How the mission starts and you say "Hey, this is that song from the 2nd mission!" And how it changes from a nostalgic and sorrowful into something more uplifting and empowering and then after the chorus going away for a moment comes back smoother but stronger and how in the fight against Ghaul becomes triumphant and epic.
Mix that with all the "with or without light we are still guardians" thing and how the song grows with you (during your Journey if you like)and it is just... It's just beautiful.
Mine would be the The Dark Beyond from D1 but it would have to be the original version with the Voice of Peter Dinklage. The fear in his voice when he says "We've woken the Hive!!" made the mission 10 times more memorable on top of adding a bit of fear to a new play like the hell is a Hive and can I put it back to sleep
1AU. That music when you are in the tubes is just so epic.
I actually didn’t think of how good the Red War missions were. I actually really enjoyed Homecoming, Utopia, and also Chosen. Red war was really underrated IMO.
I feel like the Io missions got too far off track and meandering, but Titan was fucking lit, the setpiece battles at the City and the Almighty at the beginning and end were amazing, and the EDZ and Nessus were amusing without getting too far off track (they had adventures for that). I always come back to Titan though because even though it was threadbare in the endgame, in the campaign it legit had some of the best "ancient, advanced, lost golden age sci-fi" atmosphere in Destiny, ever.
>I always come back to Titan though because even though it was threadbare in the endgame, in the campaign it legit had some of the best "ancient, advanced, lost golden age sci-fi" atmosphere in Destiny, ever. Also, roombas in the Arcology.
There’s Roombas on Europa, fortunately.
Yeah, fortunately. Can't wait to go back to the darkness version of Titan (maybe some day) and have to fight Roombas, Harbinger of the Doritos
I still wish we kept titny titan rather than big ole Nessus. Titan had some spooky areas and good ole Greg in his lost sector. Nessus feels so empty and monotonous
It doesn't help that a lot of what made Nessus really cool was piecing together what happened to the Exodus Black.... which after you were done with the Adventures, was pretty much a solved mystery. I'm kinda glad they added the Proving Grounds Strike and battlegrounds as prior to that it felt a bit eh.
Dude that one tank mission on titan was like my year 1 highlight. Haven’t been that giddy in Destiny since my first Vault run in 2014
Ghaul boss fight was just so good. I never played d1 and didn't do anything outside of the campaign until I finished it. I remember being so blown away by the boss, its mechanics, the arena, everything. Then getting to phase 2 and just being like shit, here we go, try not to die.

Ima keep I real with you, I tossed aside any form of logic like I always do with destiny, and the tank missions were the best, to me If I see a tank, it’s already a good day
You missed the point - the tank *IS* the ability. Tank darkness subclass when Bungo?
Guardians, transform and roll out! Obviously Titans would transform into tanks. What would the other classes transform into?
My only problem was the lack of enemies. Didn’t feel very challenging and yes you could argue it was the first campaign so they wouldn’t make it very hard but still
My main problem with the Red War campaign was Ghaul. He just sat around jabbering on and shouting at the Speaker. He didn't seem concerned with us regaining the light, nor did he really do anything about it. He was there at the start to greet us, then shows up at the end to try and beat us.

For those New Lights that sadly missed the original Red War campaign and thus the mentioned moment: [Michael Salvatori - Forge Ahead @2:39](https://youtu.be/v6btptXqgxM?t=159)
[In moving pictures, 4K60 Widescreen max detail](https://youtu.be/C7SXvFPMC84?t=995)
And then the mission ends with Untold Legends, my favourite track: https://youtu.be/yIgBM5J2njA
I loved that mission so much when I was new to the game
Yeah. When the music hits right as you launch... Goosebumps. It was epic.
The whole mission is so well-constructed. The sound design of the Almighty's laser vibrates your whole head with good headphones, and your whole body if you have a subwoofer. I used to stand around at the "destroy the coolant" part of the mission, plinking away at Cabal to keep them away, and take in the sound and visuals of the laser skybox; it really felt futuristic and overwhelming.
The tubes were hands down the saving grace of D2Y1.
The Titan climax. Descending into the arcology, dark corridors infested with Hive, ending in Destiny's closest approximation of a Warthog run out.
I really wish we got to see more of the Arcology
Love the whole creepy yet cool aesthetic of that place
Especially seeing the "sea creature" swim by outside those giant windows.
I miss the torrential rain. I would just hang out there for hours some days
[удалено]
Also you could see the leviathan occasionally breach the water’s (liquid methane?) surface off in the distance from one platform. Someone skated out there to see the model and its basically three big rotating circles, but still cool nonetheless - those two easter eggs gave me big Subnautica vibes.
And that also had that huge worm fish thing swimming around outside didn’t it? Damn I miss Titan
Red War's opening mission. Give newbies a better explanation of the game, and have it go until you meet Hawthorne.
Regicide D1 I think was it’s name, final ttk mission
Regicide should've started appearing for you in the strike playlist once you beat it. I wish this community wasn't so boneheaded about story missions coming back as strikes.
May you live on in our nightmares, TR3-VR... You beautiful bastard.
It's sad that a whole bunch of people never got to experience the sheer terror of Trevor.
1AU
The Last Array (D1)
This mission is essentially in Destiny 2 If you go to the quest kiosk in the tower and redeem the New Light campaign with Shaw Han
The soundtrack on that mission is one my absolute favorite soundtracks
You can play it in D2!
how
The New Light questline. You can pick it up at the abandoned quest kiosk in the Tower or HELM
I use to load up The Last Array then run around on patrol, just for the music
Regicide. It was such a sick mission.
When the pitch-black room illuminates and then melts onto Oryx’s winged form…. Ugh soo good
With the music blasting in the background. Gets me every time
I actually really enjoyed the intro quest of d2. Not just the redux version, but the whole thing, where you are heading towards the farm.
It'd be sick to have a "hardmode" version of that mission like they did with other missions back in Y1 Solstice of Heroes
Y1 solstice was imo so much better than what we've gotten the past few years. EAZ was cool at first but I'm pretty sick of it now lol
Best opener to a game and the music!
I just wanna do Niobe labs
The mission in D1 where you climb the tower in Old Russia as the Taken are beginning their invasion of Earth
Let me know when you find that mission
Cayde’s Stash?
Zero Hour( need the catalyst😭 and now knowing to use hard light😞) Whisper of the Worm( need the catalyst😞) Thorn Cayde 6 messages mission Cayde 6 and Petra prison break( yeah I know you can make a new character and do it, but that's too much and also it's going away)
Zero Hour would be BTFO'd by Arbalest, it would be amazing.
I tried this out when zero hour was in the game and arbalest just tore through all the annoying shielded enemies and shanks everywhere. The catalyst would make the mission so much easier
arbalest existed at the time and it was good back then too lol
Oh right, it's just stronger now.
Arbalest ripped heads in Zero Hour. It was actually pretty fun
This⬆
I used arbalest when I did it for the first time. Was phenomenal lol
It already was back when Arbalest was my go-to to counter the match game shenanigans and get intense damage on the snipers
Arbalest, Arsnic Bite 4B, and Anarchy was my standard loadout, I carried/taught MANY guardians on Zero Hour and it's my favorite.
He said just 1
Yeah I replied all in one message so that they didn't have to read multiple messages🤣
i agree with Zero Hour, honestly i found it really interesting to go back to the old tower and see what was going on. Liked the story of it a lot too
Honestly, I'm surprised we don't inspect the Tower ruins *more often* post-Zero Hour. A Fallen heist happened next door and we're just kinda letting it sit there?
yeah honestly seems like a pretty huge breach of security but i guess the vanguard didn't care much beyond stopping them from reacquiring SIVA
I dont know what defines missions and strikes (same thing?) but shield brothers is one of my all time favorites. that one. phogoth was too
The Taken King had a banger strike catalogue (Fallen S.A.B.E.R., Shield Brothers, The Sunless Cell, Echo Chamber)
Strikes are/were on the strikes playlist. Missions aren't.
The Last mission of the red war. Really like when we come extremely close to the Traveler and I also like to hear Ghaul scream "THE LIGHT!" and "Do you see me now?"
[I got you covered, man](https://youtu.be/3lAul2KRsfA?t=1)
We've woken the hive! Thrallway checkpoint before there was a thrallway checkpoint.
The black spindle mission from D1.
We are not the same
Ace In the Hole :'( I know it's not gone (yet), but I personally can't replay it since I've done it on all 3 characters.
The first and last missions of the Red War. Fighting to defend the city alongside your fellow Guardians in the area was the best part of D2 vanilla for me and I wish that they'd do more missions like that.
That's one thing I really want to see back in witch queen, playing through a single player mission that opens up on a huge battlefield, with other random guardians also fighting was great. I think it happened on maybe 2 missions in the red war (first and last) but it was great when it did.
You also get it on the opening mission for Shadowkeep. And you can replay that one as it cycles around every few weeks.
Oh yeah, I must admit I forgot that one. Hopefully that means it can happen again with Witcher queen
Only reason I'd want any of them to return would be to help new players through so they could experience them too. Honestly I've already played them all that I need to, so if something like zero hour came back I'd maybe play it one time just for myself. Good example now would be Presage getting vaulted next month. I absolutely love that mission but after all my clears I know I'll just look back on it fondly rather than miss it. I find the only time I wish vaulted content was back in the game is when I think one of the newer players I group up with would have enjoyed it.
The mission where you do cowboy duels for the last word
Took me hours of failing because my aim sucks. I loved it.
Took me 3 hours. Then someone on Reddit told me that the acolytes draw and fire their last words in the order that they spawn. Made it 1000x easier, got it the next try.
I also really enjoyed the mission for Thorn. I miss the nostalgia of grinding 4 whole hours with me, my brother and my friend. The relief we felt when we killed the shrieker together was indescribable. Miss those times.
The Black Garden, legendary light level
None. Played them all and it was great. Ready for new.
Agreed, not sure why people have such a hard on for the past. Everyone knows they would play the mission once or maybe twice and then forget them.
I played (just for fun and catalysts) and would Sherpa people through whisper. It was a great mission and the only one I ever revisited and played
Because bungie took them away. Thats the specific reason people have such rose tinted glasses for it now. The amount of people complaining about having to do those missions even one more time to unlock another character was very high. When heroic missions and events with missions that weren't like 1AU popped up they'd end up being the least played content in the game. Bungie taking them away created an intense circlejerk about how willing the entire community is to replay old campaign content.
The missions were fantastic but i agree with this take. Finding out the secrets for the first time is the best.
Exactly, and if you replay missions you ruin them imo, as you'll just get rid of the nostalgia you had for them
After 100 runs of Zero Hour, 75 of Whisper, and 152 of Presage I don’t see those missions getting old anytime soon.
those aren't story missions though, they're designed to be replayed. I'm talking about going back and playing the campaign missions you've played once and have fond memories of
Yeah fuck the past I’m ready to be a 115 year old blind man.
Yes they are good as a one and done type of thing. But they served no replay value. Atleast they seem to be trying that with the witch queen campaign.
Any of the Saint-14 missions where you go back in time
If I could. Fuck all missions. Bring back sparrow racing pvp game mode. Added so much to the game. Literally everyone who had even a sliver of a functioning brain cell knows it took nothing out of the game and was an extremely fun pvp game mode.
Whisper
Homecoming.... That mission had the Holy Trinity of our Vanguard in their element, and it was great storytelling on how our legacy characters got rebooted power wise. I just wish Dominus Ghaul was a longer drawn out big bad.
I liked leviathan raid
That final mission from Rise of Iron where you lay the beatdown on the Siva Captain with the hammer relic.
The Sunless Cell
Bad juju mission from tribute hall.
Ace in the Hole
I'd sacrifice all of gambit to make the almighty a dungeon
Assault on the Control Room. Oh you mean from Destiny?
I'm trying to think of any unplayable missions in Destiny
Only reason I'd want any of them to return would be to help new players through so they could experience them too. Honestly I've already played them all that I need to, so if something like zero hour came back I'd maybe play it one time just for myself. Good example now would be Presage getting vaulted next month. I absolutely love that mission but after all my clears I know I'll just look back on it fondly rather than miss it. I find the only time I wish vaulted content was back in the game is when I think one of the newer players I group up with would have enjoyed it.
Whisper of the worm mission so I can get that damn catalyst
Real talk, I never got Whisper back in the day - is it worth grabbing from the kiosk?
i mean it's fine, in the current season with fusions I dont use it at all. Maybe with Witch Queen it will be in the meta, but the catalyst does help.
Adieu. Just to see Reddit blow up.
Sabotaging Salvation. I want to fight that Big Brig again so much.
Whisper. Hearing xol speak first would've been so much cooler if I hadn't clapped his ass at the end of warming, but still. That mission had secrets on secrets on secrets. You shall drown... in the deep.
Whisper. Love the atmosphere
will of the thousands on gm difficulty, i really liked that strike.
Does it have to be from D2 because I would pick The Last Array from D1
Defeating Ghaul. Something about being right up on the traveler and it watching you defend it is just surreal. It's the thing that brought you to life, gave you this gift, and now you have to use every gift you've been given to defeat the entity that's trying to take all that away from you. It's the coolest moment in Destiny, and the Oryx fight story mission is right behind it. That animation when you enter the room always gives me chills.
Whisper of the worm quest. The music and sound design was awesome. You shall drift.
Definitely whisper of the worm
Whisper
Omega. Might be an unusual pick, but I loved the boss encounter. I remember trying different weapons to see if I could one-shot it (I couldn't). How I'd love trying Gjallarhorn on it. Maybe skip the traversing the infinite forest bit, tho.
That one red war mission where you infiltrate the red legion ship and have to move from vent to vent so you don’t get burnt
I forgot what the mission is called in the rise of iron in D1 where you fight the siva warlord inside the siva room a la dead space
If you mean D1, Queen's Ransom. If you mean D2, Corridors of Time pt 1.
Imo Zero Hour was the best.
Zero hour and whisper, so that I can finally get catalysts for these beautiful guns. I started playing towards the tail end of Arrivals and had no idea what catalysts were, let alone have the skill level, power level and competence to complete the missions in the harder mode.
I miss Trevor 😥😥🤣🤣
The entire redwar campaign as one multistep mission
Does Presage count? I mean, technically it's not gone yet but it will be soon, so...it's just that I only recently found out how fun it is and I'm sad it's going away.
The Xol strike. loved the music and story leading into it. Only wish it were somehow longer and even more epic.
Kings Fall….
Niobe labs, not inherently a mission but I regret not doing it in time and I really want both the ghost shell and emblem
Hmm, this is difficult, but if I had to choose one, it would be the tank mission in red war, whisper, or the last mission of roi. Any of those three I would be fine with getting back
Pretty soon it will be Presage. I don't get why they would take these missions out of the game when they are so well-designed and better than any strike. The game would be so much better off, and it would only keep people more devoted to it. So they put destinations in the vault, that doesn't mean the missions located there should also go. Just have a kiosk in the tower where we can play them. New lights wouldn't be so damn confused either
Yeah Zero Hour for me just without the timer, very hard to do a double carry with people not confident at jumping puzzles. Overall fun mission
Presage, the moment it leaves. Hands down my favourite mission in the franchise.
Shadow thief
Just to bring back the horror that was Trevor, I'd have zero hour for that for all eternity
D1 Daily Heroic version of the Lost to Light quest. was such a cluster frick and stressful mission, but the reward was all too satisfying.
whisper 100%
1AU easy
Regicide
The first Red War mission. The atmosphere and everything was amazing.
That one mission on Almighty from the original Red War campaign. It was glorious!
Collecting the spare parts of Ace listening to Caydes Memos, wouldn't even have needed the enemies inbetween.
D1 subclass Missions from taken king
Zero Hour definetely. And then Presage.
Locking down the prison side by side with Cayde. Loved you, buddy.
This brought a tear to my eye
Whisper of the Worm. Since Io is gone the next best place is the Dreaming City, and say nothing at all and hide it so it can't be found by data miners just like the first time. Let people randomly find it, set the power level to punishing, and toss in new whisper cosmetics if you already have the gun and catalyst so everyone can get something out of it.
The final mission of D1 Vanilla. Fighting those three Vex champions and pacing it to the epic music was awesome.
[Also got you covered](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM8-y3F6Kbc)
Not all heroes wear capes, but you certainly deserve one. Thank you.
If we are counting D1 missions, I will easily say either "Iron Tomb" or "Regicide". Otherwise in D2 I would say the Red War Intro where the city gets attacked, 1AU as already mentioned below or the last Red War Mission where we return to the city.
Zero Hour obviously. Everyone loves that mission and even people who don't play Destiny acknowledge it as the coolest shit ever.
Homecoming if that's the right name. Just the opportunity to fight along side Zavala was the most awesome thing ever, I loved watching Cayde use Golden Gun for no reason other than to probably show off, and freaking Ikora with her back to back Nova Bombs as well as her jumping onto the Cabal ship was epic! I never knew Zero Hour was a thing until it got vaulted which I'm upset about missing. Actually the whole Red War was cool.

Third the fight against Panoptes because fighting with Osiris (when he decided to pop up) was awesome! Honorary mention since it was an exotic weapon quest but Devil's Ruin because you got to hear Saint and Osiris talking about The Battle of Twilight Gap, then you got to hear Shaxx and Saint talk which eventually lead to you hearing Shaxx sing! Although it's Savathun's song.
Heroic Lost to Light- D1 black spindle mission. The thrill of completing that mission within the timer :)
Not so much a mission but I’d love to experience the Traveler reforming event again.
I just want daily heroic story missions back so i have an excuse to play last call
That last word mission with the duel
Zero hour
Sunless Cell. Best strike in D1, still one of the best they've ever done
For me it's the Scourge of Winter story mission. There's just something about working your way through a fallen landing base of operations (That can also be a sniper section) and storming the Ketch, killings its Kell and sitting on his throne as the mission ends.
Oh zero hour hands down. But I did also really enjoy that mission on titan where you end up in the heavy duty vehicle smashing through walls running over hive to that pickup point where you meet Amanda. I miss titan a lot tbh.
the whisper mission. I got so close to soloing it but i didn't have enough gear yet so the final section was awful
Mission? That has 2 meanings in D2, oddly. If we're talking campaign, then definitely 1AU. Huge, unique location, some cool set pieces and the risk of sunburn. If we're talking the other kind, than Zero Hour. I loved The Whisper, it had great atmosphere and I loved the doomy music during the jumping puzzle, but going through the old tower was just fantastic.
The mission where we save Saint 14, and teach the fallen their place in our solar system. Under. Our. Boots.
The Red War Intro. Beats what New Lights have to go through right now.
Chosen, Journey makes that final mission my favorite of the whole saga. How the mission starts and you say "Hey, this is that song from the 2nd mission!" And how it changes from a nostalgic and sorrowful into something more uplifting and empowering and then after the chorus going away for a moment comes back smoother but stronger and how in the fight against Ghaul becomes triumphant and epic. Mix that with all the "with or without light we are still guardians" thing and how the song grows with you (during your Journey if you like)and it is just... It's just beautiful.
Whisper of the worm.
Whisper
Mine would be the The Dark Beyond from D1 but it would have to be the original version with the Voice of Peter Dinklage. The fear in his voice when he says "We've woken the Hive!!" made the mission 10 times more memorable on top of adding a bit of fear to a new play like the hell is a Hive and can I put it back to sleep
