I figured I should ask: is the no-voice deal in Strikes/PvP an intentional design choice, or something that isn't enabled right now?

Bungie said it's intentional and meant to cut down on unpleasant interactions with strangers. It's definitely done that, but it's becoming clear that there was a pretty big tradeoff involved, especially with fireteams being clunky to join and set to friends only by default.
 
Loot drops need to have a tall neon vertical beam of light so I can see them better.

I agree. Encryptograms look too much like ammo. I know the postmaster will deliver them to you (most of the time apparently), but I like to pick them up! I'm old school like that.

I tested this. Not all lost drops are sent to the Postmaster. I purposely left a green engram drop on the ground in The Last Array's final fight and checked the Postmaster afterward. Didn't get anything. Drop lost forever ;_;.

There are weapon unlocks that let you pick up ammo if you shoot at it. Same should apply for loot.

White drops can be missed because they don't glow and may be confused for ammo drop, but green loot is hard to miss. Just jump in the air and do a 360 to scour for loot you may not have picked up.

Yo, I don't have issues finding drops. I'm saying I tested whether or not all lost drops get sent to the postmaster. Turns out they don't.
 
YOU'RE ALL NOOBS!!!
YOLO420MLGSWAG BITCH!!
It's usually more like

"Man this map sucks dick"

"Hahaha yeah"

"Not as much as your mom though"

"You take that back my mom is a saint"

"She's definitely religious all right last night she kept calling for god over and over again"

"You guys are so mature"

"Oh my god are you a little boy or a girl? If you're a girl want to join my friends list lol omg let's play together"

Lol! Yes! This is pretty much on the nose.
 
The story will probably be the weakest aspect of the game I can already tell. I'm usually story driven but 90% of the time I'll be playing Co-op and in those my focus switches to skills and gear and leveling up.

Let's be real here, the story telling in Halo was pretty damn weak also.
Bungie are kings of creating lore, but I've always felt they fall really flat on the actual story telling. Even some of the past cutscenes have left me confused as to what is even happening. The ending of Halo 3 comes to mind when
The ship splits in half?
. It was hard to even follow it.

Will we be able to pre-download the beta? Or do we have to wait until the 23rd

It seems as if you'd be able to download it once the code is input. I don't know of any Xbox restrictions that prevent you from downloading once a code is entered.
 
I hope the perm rewards are actually important cosmetic stuff that took effort to earn. Not a huge deal but it would be nice to show off during launch.
