Forsaken content and playability?

[CSL-Drive]

I wanna start at the beginning. I see on timeline that Forsaken is the earliest accessible content. But I see only one free campaign mission, and buying the Forsaken expansion shows just 1 dungeon and 1 raid to be added upon purchase and nothing else. On youtube it shows 5+ hours of gameplay on Forsaken. Are all those content no longer available?

I remember playing forsaken on another platform a long time ago, and it had waaay more content than just 1 dungeon and 1 raid. Infact, I never even got to the raid/dungeon, that's how much content there was. Many campaign missions. Open world missions. Public Event missions. Many worlds to play on. Do many things, discover many things. Endless many strike missions, all of them very fun and challenging. Unique. Challenging. Fun. With multiplayer. Lots of endgame content. A whole long story rich campaign. Many open world missions. Bounties. Pvp. Etc etc.

None of those available when purchasing Forsaken? The game says "unlock 1 raid and 1 dungeon." I find it hard to believe that that is all I get. Do I really just get only 1 raid and 1 dungeon and that's it? Really?

Forsaken campaign is gone, removed.
Edit: It's been the Forsaken Pack for a good while now, no campaign.

There is more than a dungeon and raid though, the Dreaming City with it's activities. What they removed was the Tangle Shore map along with two strikes, because they started with you just on the Tangle Shore map (Warden of nothing remains because you start in the Prison of Elders) and the campaign. The rest remains and it's a lot cheaper now, because it's no longer a full expansion. I don't know for sure why they removed the campaign etc, other than at the time Mara Sov, Queen of the Awoken was kind of at war with the Tangled Shore/Spider over the treatment of her brother.

I think they removed most of the old content due to how much they leaned heavily on characters that are dead or drastically altered in the present, like Crow, as well as narrative clashes. Red War was probably removed due to a combination of narrative clashes and how it precludes new players from getting the "default" Tower experience since it involves everything getting blown up and having to reclaim the default hangout spot of the game. The Red War was soley for all-ready existing players of the first game.

How many strikes do we get for Forsaken expansion pack? And are all the campaign missions gone or just a few?

[Typhir]

All the campaign missions have been removed as most of them were on the Tangled Shore. What is left is the Cayde's Fate mission, which is a free and truncated version of the original Last Call mission.

There is only one strike left from Forsaken: The Corrupted. The other strike Hollowed Lair was removed with the Tangled Shore.

Ah good point, forgot about that one since it wasn't in the Nightfall rotation this season. :D

Originally it had only 2 strikes? Strange, I recall each expansion have 30+ strikes on many different difficulties, so that would be about 90+ strikes per expansion.

No, each expansion only has one or two strikes and at most three. Forsaken was one of the larger expansions to the game. It actually had four now that I think about it as it had Broodhold, which was also removed.

Even the Destiny 2 Base Game originally only had six strikes:
- Arms Dealer
- Lake of Shadows (originally a Playstation exclusive strike before it was added to the general playlist in Year 2)
- Savathun's Song (Removed, was on Titan)
- Exodus Crash
- The Inverted Spire
- The Pyramidian (Removed, was on Io)

Curse of Osiris (all have been removed as these were on Mercury): Tree of Probabilities, A Garden World
Warmind: Strange Terrain (removed, on Mars), Will of the Thousands (removed, on Mars), The Insight Terminus (this is the only one that is still in the game as it is on Nessus)
Forsaken: Warden of Nothing, The Hollowed Lair (removed in the Tangled Shores) and The Corrupted, Broodhold (originally this was a Playstation exclusive strike, but removed as it was in the Tangled Shore)
Shadowkeep: Festering Core (removed as it was on Io), and The Scarlet Keep
Beyond Light: Glassway, Proving Grounds (was added during Season of the Chosen)
The Witch Queen: Birthplace of the Vile and the Lightblade
Lightfall: Hypernet Current

Battlegrounds from previous years are from seasonal activities, but they were added to bolster the strikes playlist.

Difficulty selection only come when the strikes are Nightfalls and only one strike is a Nightfall each week.

I would have been very happy if each expansion had 30 strikes.

Additionally, during the Beyond Light year, three repurposed strikes from Destiny 1 were added to the game and I didn't account for them above. These were: The Disgraced (rethemed Omnigul strike), Fallen SABER, and The Devil's Lair. These were added for free and are not considered part of Beyond Light though.

No, each expansion ...
... each expansion had 30 strikes.

Thanks, very kind of you to give me so much detail. Really appreciate it.
