What are the knocks people have on it?

Weak/lack of story, inability to communicate with strangers easily and the repetitive missions/enemy types.
Can't disagree about the story. Lots of references to things that aren't explained and not a lot of back development.
I thought having proximity chat would b a must but after being in a couple 3 man fireteams, it's already chaotic just chatting as it is. Still I would like to be able to pull up to a stranger and see if they help or be able to verbally ask to invite to a party rather than the annoying multi layer invite system.
Haven't noticed the blandness of missions playing with friends as we just take detours finding treasures and exploring.
Certainly not quite GOTY material though it'll probably win that. Bungie's painted a beautiful setting with solid mechanics in the core game play. They just have to fill in this picture better. As mentioned before, this is a long term game so I anticipate some of these issues will be changed or improved but I'm just having fun at the moment.
