Yep. The game really feels like Halo, at least to me. ADS isn't necessary.

Do I uninstall? It is difficult.
I'm having withdrawals so badly. Halo Reach had campaign co-op matchmaking... any chances I could get a Legendary match up in that I wonder? I seem to remember that even in Reach's prime, there were only a few hundred people at a time doing campaign matchmaking. Although Reach's campaign and firefight netcode was pretty crap (input lag). I gotta find something to scratch the itch... *sigh*

I'm saving the Alpha in hopes that having it unlocks something in the retail release.

This is my favorite destiny trailer of them, because of the dialogue, the background music, and the all around badassery of gus fring

Now that you mention it, yes, reducing the base movement speed and adding sprint would be a perfect example of the same kind of non-sensical game design, introducing a solution for a problem that never existed in the first place. Many (me included) felt that Halo played way better without sprint and with a faster base movement speed. Sprint clashed with the arena shooter nature of the Halo games, especially when added to the reduced base movement speed. And so did bloom, and a bunch of other terrible design decisions they made in the later Halos, but that's been discussed plenty of times already, and I don't want to derail the thread so, back to Destiny...
Again, having both ADS and non-ADS shooting mechanics doesn't mean that the accuracy of non-ADS shooting must be artificially penalized with that awful random vector bullshit. So no, that's not "just how it is" Most shooters nowadays may do it, but it's the definetly not the only way to design a game with ADS, as both Bioshock and Wolfenstein have proved.

For myself:
1) Hunter because I always play light classes in MMOs, played as shadow priest in WoW and Thief in GW2 etc. And that satisfying feeling when that knife throw connects with someone.
2) I went with Human (Male). Always has, always will. I see myself in the eyes of the characters I make. I like to experience the game as my own adventure.

At about 8:18 in this interview, Deej begins talking about Raid(s). It seems like there is only one raid. I'm assuming it's the vault of glass thing. Also, do not say anything about angry joe; my point has nothing to do with him. The information about raids is all that matters.

I was thinking of hooking my 360 back up. I never actually played reach!

Well that's pretty disappointing... for a team of 500 you would think that they could do more than one raid.
Also, is it me or is there new footage of different planets interspersed in there? I don't think I've seen a lot of this...
Venus?
I'm a big Halo fan and have played all of them, and IMO Reach has the best campaign of them all. The game gets some flak for certain multiplayer mechanics, but overall the game (especially the campaign) was an awesome farewell to the series from Bungie. It's one of the most challenging in the series, without being annoying (no Flood). There's a lot of enemy variety, and the Covenant has never been more menacing than they are in Reach. If you like the other games in the series, definitely give this one a go!

Different skins is my guess. Would be cool to have one shaped like an actual ghost.
Shields and or offensive drones ? Wonder if you can hack one of those fallen drones and use it for a buddy.

Interesting, there's also a second of what looks to be Crucible gameplay on a Mars map (towards the end of the video). Also, it's pretty crazy that he said the raid will take hours upon hours. Wow, sounds like my type of deal. I like the grind.

I like fine control shot placement with ADS (crits), usually on hipfire with shotguns or in CQC/oh shit moments.
I dont really think removing ADS would be an improvement. The reward for bettering your shooting skills is pretty much more crits. If hipfire was as accurate as ADS the game would be lacking a bit of depth.

Dude wut. Might have to play a Titan after all.
He knees the fallen to death.
At level 8, you still had your water wings on.
What? ADS is intended to make fine aim easier by allowing you to see your target area with greater resolution and slow down your aim response. In and of itself, precise hipfire only eases crits at close range,and even then only because it allows you to rotate quickly enough to track your target (i.e. shoot at all), which is why a lot of people right now are ditching rifles at close range altogether and just going for easy shotgun kills.
If the reward for bettering your shooting skills is more crits, I'm not seeing how precise hipfire causes problems. You'd still fail to get crits if you aim poorly, and get crits if you aim well.

One raid huh? Hopefully there's a ton of strikes. His response to the Xbox exclusive content question was very Mattrick-esque. "We've got something for Xbox owners - it's called Destiny." Not a good look, Bungie. I'm guessing it was forced upon them by Activision though. It should never have included strikes or PVP levels though. That's horrible and I wouldn't blame Xbox loyalists for lifting a middle finger to Bungie and telling them to eff off.
lol
Just saw the footage you were referring to. Every outlet was given access to that. Not sure why Joe was the only one who used it.
See that Guardian fanning the hammer on the hand cannon? So sweet.
Yep, Xenos just posted it on DBO. Nice.
The good news is, because trigger detection is intended to be perceived as binary in most games, it probably won't "get to me" when I play other stuff without such things. Halo 1 was one of the first shooters I ever played, and I've noticed that I'm subtly bothered by other games where the character doesn't correctly decide whether to pump the shotgun after reloading.
Grrr!!!
You can headshot the Vex. Makes em crazy. Best to go for the juice box, though. Makes em dead.
Not sure about the build. Could be older and newer depending on the shots. Team is moving fast.
Hunter is the best class, can't beat dropping fools with that throwing knife ..... especially on the slide.
Its strange but Dinklages performance is so much better and works surprisingly well in the on stage demo/gameplay reveals.
Thanks for joining me! I'm glad I didn't sit there all by myself

I chose Titan for the flying stomp, but being able to knee the fallen now curtails any doubt I had in choosing another class.
Will I be able to do that in Beta?!?!

They already have our info in terms of who played the alpha and how they progressed; they even still have all of that up on their alpha site. If they do give those who participated in the alpha and/or beta something-- a dye or exclusive emblem perhaps-- they likely have some sort of flag attached to those accounts as you needed to register to gain access to the game. Other games have done similar.
All that to say: given the install sizes of PS4 games, retail in particular, space fills up quickly. You might want to delete the alpha and free it up?

From the AJ interview with Deej:
Almost makes me want to cry. Love you Bungie....from Marathon until now. Bless all of you.

I believe Bungie has sold me too much on Destiny that it will be the first game I preload and buy online. I don't care about physical copy like I used to with the other games, I need to be online as soon as the Servers come up in September!
You can change their shell iirc.
