Destiny 2 vs Warframe

Destiny 2 for gunplay, Warframe for movement and depth. Destiny has the best-feeling shooting in any live game and the strongest raids. Warframe is free, endlessly deep, and its traversal — sliding, bullet-jumping, wall-running — is unmatched, but it is famously hard to get into.
