This DLC bought some comedic deaths on my end, namely death by Cabal Pod and death by Xol falling on top of my poor Guardian.
Also the search for the Memory Fragments was well worth it, despite the wild goose chase of back tracking and making sure you shot them all.

This added some pretty cool stuff to the game
This DLC is massively overhated, the general story isn't great but it was really interesting and finally getting visuals on a Worm God was probably the most exciting thing in the game at the time.
The story was lacking and felt like it had no ramifications, but Escalation Protocol has at least somewhat of a saving grace for this DLC. The destination was also quite interesting
This was a serviceable expansion that still left D2 feeling much weaker than it's predecessor.
I’m like the only person who actually liked this.
Escalation protocol was life.
Escalation protocol was life.
I have two stories to tell about Destiny 2. This one happened first.
At a low point brought on by the fatigue that God Of War 2018's success brought upon me and skeptical of Traveler's Tales offerings post-Curse of Osiris, I remember walking out of my room after completing the campaign and laying on the floor. All I could say is "I can't believe it's worse." I did not play a game with a story in it for eight months out of protest.

Two primary system AND a mid raid.
Escalation protocol, Spire and the go fast update made this a pretty decent experience, even if it WAS grafted onto D2 vanilla's meager bones.
underrated expansion that started destiny 2's road to recovery, alot of fun many memories on this one
absolute ASS
Christ. Man parts of this expansion were just disappointing, especially having A WORM GOD KILLED IN SUCH A PATHETIC WAY; AS A STRIKE BOSS. however where that dropped the ball hard, Spire of Stars and Whisper picked up and tried carrying the weight of this expansion. While Spire was quite the challenge up until it was put in the content vault, it didn't have loot to match aside from an emote. While Whisper gave us a Taken version of Black Hammer from D1. However, trying to carry and actually doing it are two separate things
Curse of Osiris é bem melhor. Mas Rasputin é um ótimo personagem adicionado.
More like warmid
Não foi de todo e finalmente pos coisas intressantes para o jogo que realmente estava a precisar.
Ah e tinhamos a missao da whisper, foi fixe.

The weapons and escalation protocol the best things to come from this
This DLC is also fine. The story was pretty alright but I despised the final boss fight of the experience.
Very average, definitely a step up after Curse of Osiris but nothing special.
Much better than Curse of Osiris but still lacking, the weapons and location were some of the best Pre-Forsaken content in the game though.
I guess it's alright. The first year of D2 was pretty difficult in general, but this was a step in the right direction.
Warmind is, amongst Destiny 2's campaigns and honestly the whole series, the low point. The only thing of value to the story in my opinion is the introduction of the Bray Exoscience team as antagonists of the past, and gameplay-wise bringing Mars back to Destiny 2. I honestly think that, besides some of the seasons, Destiny 2 is great at structuring it's story content, but this and Curse of Osiris have a big issue in dumbing down huge lore characters for the sake of easy antagonists for short stories. Worst of all, I believe that Ana Bray will likely never come up again, and that the hive Worm God we kill here is not actually dead, meaning all of it's consequences are for naught.
Even bigger of a mistake is this new focus on public events over unique Raids or Dungeons (the latter would be a later invention that rectifies this issue). You revisit the Leviathan here, facing a much smaller enemy than the fucking Worm God you fight at the end of a basic story mission here. How very....blase? Destiny's power scaling has never reflected the actual power of the enemies, the cinematic quality and the stage you face them on does that part of the work, but to make the most canonically powerful foe we know of a two phase boss fight in a solo mission is very dull.
Not to mention, this is the worst take of Leviathan we've had so far, both from a gameplay variation standpoint and a lore standpoint. I do like the missions where we work for 'enemy' species a lot, Variks in particular as a mission giver in D1 was always fun, but Emperor Calus is a weird situation. I'm not sure how I feel about working for the ex-communicated Cabal leader, though I suppose I shouldn't bolster such qualms with optional content.
Still, the little bits of lore we get about the Brays is interesting. Ana and Elsie's implied relationship, which one remembers and wants to forget and one has forgotten but wishes she remembered, is a unique tale of tragedy I'm surprised they stuffed into all this. Plus, you get Polaris Lance outta all this discovery, an excellent weapon that I wish I could still use in the game....alas, these Content Vault updates have stopped me!

While better than Curse of Osiris, it's not by much, Story was mediocre and two very major bosses that tie into the lore were dumbed down into strike bosses (Xol and Nokris) either one of them should've been a raid boss instead of going back to the Leviathan a third time
Meh. Better narritive than Beyond light at least. The biggest thing for me is the literal fucking work god we killed which turned into a strike due to how easy it was... to say this was disapointing is an understatement.
The Whisper mission was quite fun, and some of the exotics were incredibly fun (lookin at you Huckleberry). The campaign was objectively worse than curse of osiris. Making a worm god, A WORM GOD, one of the franchises titular enemies a STRIKE BOSS, was not the best idea.
Better than Curse of Osiris. Still had issues being a giant public event, but at least Protocol was fun.
SoS, Whisper and EP saved this DLC
Not as good as the base campaign or Curse of Osiris. Fun enough to play through, appreciated the giant worm at the end.
