To those that played the Alpha: which class jumping mechanic felt the best?
Titan jetpack looked the most satisfying to use, but I'm interested to hear your opinions.

Warlock glide all the way. Took me a few matches to get it down but I loved the control it gives you.
I hated jetpacks in reach and Halo 4 as they gave such an advantage
But you know what with triple jump, I'm fine with them, plus I like playing duck hunt.
That is Wizard and Titan duckhunt....
I personally really like the hunters double jump, but I love hunter so.. myeah

Titan just seemed the most natural to me with the momentum upgrade sprinting and jumping across the battlefield to hulk smash a couple of enemies felt so good

Hunter felt fast and responsive to me. No hang time at all, which I preferred. The warlock's glide felt a lot slower to me; that's good because it gives you time to aim your super, bad because you can get shot easily and can't dodge really well (until you upgrade the glide ability).

Hunter definitely excels in the jumping department, the other classes felt way too floaty.
Reading the Eurogamer article linked earlier in this thread, I'm interested in seeing what the changes from the Alpha will be, especially the front and centre ones he is speaking off... Hopefully some of the UI elements have been tightened up and getting to things (like Sparrow/Weapons) have been made faster.
(Plus hoping against hope that the loading time is cut down a bit and we get the ability to fully custom map our controller layout.)

Awoken Warlock is pretty much the only one I have decided on... Still not sure if I want to go Human or Exo for Hunter (currently leaning towards human). Then whatever is left over will be used for the Titan.

I've already thrown my opinion in on this, but I felt each class was good in some way. I didn't play around with the jetpack much, so I'll leave it out. The Warlock glide was useful in that it had the longest time in air. For hovering over doors to Control Points, or gliding longer distances (assuming you knew you weren't about to get blown out of the sky) it performed admirably.
The Hunter jump was the best in-combat. Being able to maneuver while fighting is extremely helpful. And the double jump can line up some feints and such against shotgun and snipers users (hop towards, hop away.
The Titan's main would be best for traversal I suppose. The initial burst it gives seems like it gets highest the quickest, so maybe for getting up close quickly or when fighting close quarters you could shoot up in the sky to try and change the tides? Not sure, since I haven't used it.

To me, hunter felt like the best class to play both in a team and solo.
I can't see myself playing solo with the warlock or titan. Can't wait to try the second super of the hunter, hope it's unlockable in the beta.

Interrogative: Master, will you be speaking to the meatbags in your fire team in this manner?
Statement: Correct master.
Mockery: very well meatbags, let's go attack that Hallowed Knight again, I am sure we will get him this time.

You're gonna get excited, and you're gonna stay excited Mister. Don't make me pull this hype train over.

Not surprising. That's why I kept telling folks not to expect more then what it is. They were never going to give us a ton more in beta. They just weren't. Anyone who thought we would have multiple planets, etc were just delusional.

Excuse me. I am the conductor for this hype train. And I say full steam ahead! If we have to throw Ergo overboard, then so be it!

Good enough for me; 4 crucible maps will last me a while.
Oh, and hasn't an extra strike mission and like 3 more story missions been confirmed? So isn't that really like double the content?

Damn. Cold-blooded. *hand Ergo a fire starter and a thermal blanket*
Good luck to you, son.

I'll stick in the "hyped but not obsessed" train car. It might be lonely but it's spacious and nobody is screaming at my ear.
I thought it was only one strike, four story missions, and four crucible maps.

Choo choo!
No need to pull over! I'll just wave as you pass by
I am excited for the game, don't get me wrong. I just want to get a sense of how large the game is and the amount of locales you can visit. Seeing Old Russia over-and-over-and-over again is making me not want to ever go there when the full game is released.
I have yet to play it on xbone, so I am excited to try it out. I am mostly interested in the crucible play for the beta. Should be good either way. This thread is just funny at how people are foaming at the mouth for the game to be released ;P

It's important that females have armor that accentuates their curves.
It's one of the reasons Hunters are best class.

I can't see the female hunter without thinking of:
Maaaaaaaan. I'm getting the white ps4, so I have to fire up the PS3 for beta. Fire it up and do some backups so I can clear off space and the next thing I know it's freezing upon boot!
OMG NO NOT NOW
I have to sit here with dread today until I get home and start debugging it. Sounds like there's some kind of recovery mode I can go into that might wipe my entire drive.
All those saves Damn. The things I'll do for you, Bungie.

I hope we get to go to Mumbai still.
And Europa.
God, I can't wait to see Chicago!

I actually really like how the female Hunters look in this game.

We're very close to release, so it's not unreasonable for people to get excited for a bigger slice and build up their expectations, but yes, anyone who played the Alpha and has followed the news (such as the IGN first coverage, or the Gamestop primer on content) should have a good idea of what to expect. We're going to be in Old Russia. We're going to have more story missions. We're probably going to have the same strike as the Alpha. We're going to have 2 more adversarial multiplayer maps, still playing Control.
People who are wondering why we're so excited might not understand that we would be similarly excited if Bungie just turned the Alpha back on. We just want to play in this world.
