I'm liking it more now with friends only turned off, but there's some right idiots joining for the co-op mission. We had to stop reviving this one guy.

There needs to be a level and item level limit to let people into some content come the final game/

 

[7DollarHagane]

So I feel like I have no idea how the ps4 share function even works. I've lost two really awesome replays already.

I thought it was always recording the last 15 minutes, so why when I go into the share menu is there only a clip of the last few seconds??

So I double tqp the button at the start of the round to start recording. At the end I go to the share menu and nothing was saved except the last few seconds? Wtf?

 

[CREMSteve]

do the public fire teams not work? I never see any to join.

I entered Devils Lair and it automatically joined me up with people. I didn't even ask for it.

 

[ChanDangle]

Just like Halo, I'm straight garbage in Crucible. I think I'm gonna end up sticking with exploring.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

After playing some Titan, I like Warlock a lot better. Though Titans punch is godly. Ill try Hunter later.

Wow, never realized that my game was set to friends only. Just turned it off.

 

[CLBridges]

Gonna be playing most of this afternoon into the evening. Finally completed the strike mission on Legendary and that was pretty intense.

If anyone needs a fire team member for strike/exploration etc., feel free to add me on PSN: GhostFaceDon

 

[Damaniel]

Me too. My 0.2 K/D ratio after the first match was a good sign that I should take my gameplay elsewhere.

I've enjoyed what I've seen so far, though, and I'm not regretting my pre-order yet.

Are you double tapping Share again, right before entering the Share menu? That starts a new recording and forgets the recording of your round.

 

[super-famicom]

In a weapon's stat, what does Impact mean?
Also, what do you do with weapon parts and plastic plating? I have a bunch in my inventory but can't do/sell anything with them.

I think impact is the amount of stun one receives when getting hit by that gun.

The stuff in your inventory is for crafting, which is unavailable in the alpha. If you look at the high level gear the merchants sell, you can see they require certain parts.

 

[NullPointer]

Has anybody seen lighting that compares to that first gameplay reveal?

That ghost flying out in front of the players, lighting up the area as it moves around on its own, all before flying up into the rafters above and casting crazy multi-layered shadows across everything?

I haven't seen anything close to that yet.

 

[X-Frame]

So is the Strike Mission (presumably on Legendary) the best way to obtain high level gear?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

The E3 trailer is an assuring thing after having depleted the Alpha of content:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clRpcIHpmoY&index=6

I'm so ready.

That trailer makes much more sense after playing the alpha

Indeed, after playing the Alpha that is much more hype inducing.

In my fückíng veins.

 

[Bastion]

My impressions after playing for half an hour: the gameplay and controls seem great, the graphics are good but don't blow me away and the voice acting is terrible so far. It reminds me of PS1 voice acting.

You can get high level stuff but can't use anything over level 8 anyway. I have lvl12 armor bits and lvl10 weapons but can't use them

 

[Megasoum]

Every time I go in the Explore mode I find new spots of the map I didn't know about.

Like now I just found the spot where they shot the first stage demo from last year.

 

[feel]

Is there really nothing else to do besides the satellite dish building thing? The playable area seems massive, if I explore I keep walking into area after area and it never ends (even found that area from the first demo with all the abandoned cars), but I can't find any new missions or actual stuff to do, other than dying painfully to some very high level enemies occasionally. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, is there a dummy guide to the alpha?

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

OT is incorrect. You DO NOT need PS+ to play this. I don't have PS+ and I got a code in an email and I played it just fine.

Again, you don't need PS+ to play the alpha.

 

[RunningRiot]

You do need it to play The Crucible though

Need PS+ to play Crucible (PVP), and also the Strike mission (3 man raid).

You can go into Exploration without it though.

Is there any word on if we'll be able to keep our characters and gear for the upcoming beta?

 

[EL CUCO]

Is there any word on if we'll be able to keep our characters and gear for the upcoming beta?

I've never seen a Beta or Alpha transfer over to the full game, so my guess would be no.

If you've played the 1 story mission and the 1 strike mission, then yes, that's all there is in this very limited alpha. You can do endless small fetch missions in the explore mode though.

Even Lance Reddick?

Yeah don't think that will happen.

Especially if they change a lot between now and the beta due to feedback.



And no chance at all it transfers to final game.

 

[DieH@rd]

I discovered Cosmodrome Wall today during my exploration run.

[ryan299]

Does it play like Borderlands?

 

[super-famicom]

Movement feels more like a Halo game, not as much loot drops, but the wandering around a large map and engaging mobs feels like Borderlands to me.

 

[Pastry]

Titan just kind of sucks in pvp. Grenades aren't effective and on top of having no range with the special he can be killed after activating it and before it initiates... just kind of useless.

Guess that explains why everyone is playing Hunters and Warlocks.

 

[WITHE1982]

Just managed to run through the grotto underground section and passed the level ??? enemies and hive wizard. Never again. Nearly shit myself.

Thanks, just noticed the strike and explore stuff in the map.

 

[publicpwnerer]

Victorian here, on iinet. Perfect latency for PVE and nearly flawless PVP. Shadow Fall is a disgrace in comparison to this. Amazing tech, regardless of anyone's opinions on the game. I expected it to be virtually unplayable down under, but it works basically flawlessly for me.

Hey, thanks for the reply, really appreciated. That's great to hear. Day one for me then.

A large, scary ogre also lives there. He fires lasers from his face!

 

[Dominator]

Nope.

Nice. Someone should do a direct comparison to E32013. Can you go inside?

 

[WITHE1982]

Not even going to attempt to find him. I'm just happy in the knowledge that he's in there and I'm not.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I'll have to see more of the game, but so far this is what Webzen Game Inc.'s Huxley should have been.

 

[Forsete]

Very odd bug.

Btw, YES I regret that silly haircut.

 

[Bastion]

Even Lance Reddick?

Whoever the guy is talking at the start of the game. He's the only person I have heard talk so far but I feel it is very bad. I am shire hoping I gets better.

 

[ShogunDarius]

in pvp is your loadout randomised or based on what your character has on them?

 

[Psychoward]

Nice. Someone should do a direct comparison to E32013. Can you go inside?

Not from any other place than the one you came in. Kinda disappointing. Also there's invisible walls all over the place out there.

The area leading up to it sure is pretty though, hopefully there are missions in the full game in it.

 

[Loginius]

So I cant connect in pvp and have not seen another soul in the tower or elsewhere...
Am I doing something wrong or is this how it works atm?
Doesnt sound like it from the other posts around here.

 

[super-famicom]

Based on what you currently have equipped. You can change it while your ships fly (loading screen) or even in game.

There's a bug that makes the Tower look empty, Bungie is aware of it. As for PVP, maybe internet issues? You have PS+, right?

 

[MistaBowaa]

Has anyone had any luck trying to get to places they shouldnt be in the Tower? I was able to get onto the scaffolding above the Speaker in Tower North. Sadly I couldnt climb any higher.

 

[Lucent]

[greatgeek]

I wonder what is in the section of the tower (upper left part of the map) we can't access.

I do and mp works as it should in my other games..

 

[harriet the spy]

This is pretty fun. I have never been much a fan of Halo's visual design, but this looks pretty nice, albeit somewhat unoriginal.
Quick question:
Will the characters from the alpha be usable in the beta?
And characters from alpha/beta in the main game?

 

[m_shortpants]

The more I play multiplayer, the morenI think it would really benefit from 60fps. It's still absolutely playable and a ton of fun, but just a thought.
