Destiny is going to be my new addiction this September. I'm loving the PvE portion.

According to the GI article there's an exotic sniper rifle that cloaks the player when you're looking down the scope. Exotic weapons is where the fun starts

That may have been lag causing someone to rubber-band around. I've seen it too.
Buy Class Item engrams from the Cryptarch. There are also ones you can get as rewards for the Iron Banner playlist in Crucible, though it's not currently available.

Oh, just for the beta. The reason I say it's a bug is because, when you look at the Strike mission, it specifically says you need XBox Live Gold, which means all of the others wouldn't.
What a shocker; Bungie balanced all three classes to have good pros/cons for each class.
I started as Titan and thought his super range was way too short. Warlock can launch the super incredibly far. Still wanna check out the Hunter in the beta.
i'm actually one of the few people that hopes that warlocks get a little help by release time
grenades are dope - but that super is the most predictable and easy to dodge thing in PVP by far
regen isn't all that different between classes. at least not at this point.

? Weapons are not restricted by class.

It may be possible to have two of the same gun, then you can have different specs on each. I've acquired several duplicate green weapons. Not sure how common that will be for blues/exotics/legendaries however.

too bad you feel this way. its your opinion though.
Mine is very different. Yes its similar to Halo.. I wonder why? Bungie is comfortable in a certain genre. lets be honest. If Microsoft had allowed Bungie to leave with Halo this would be called Haloestiny.
They started with a fantasy themed game and quickly realized where the passion was for them.
Its obvious loot games and the drive for better stats inst a draw for you. For me its like crack. I will run the same mission 10 times for the hint at a better glove.
The idea of going on this journey for the next 10 years is exciting to me. My friends have all joined a clan and we are ready for whatever this game turns out to be.
I can't really agree with your games need to stop with the HYPE!! comment. Bungie has done a piss poor job of showing this game off. Most of the HYPE you talk about has come from gamers and people excited to play. That's a lot different then what happened with Titanfall.
It's not Bungie's job to advertise. That would fall upon Activision and the companies that were paid to make advertisements. Do you not watch tv or stream on the net? There are tons of commercials for this game. If this game wasn't hyped then why has it been shown at the last two E3's? It was no where near ready at the 2013 E3 but yet they came out and had this fantastic new game for us to be "hyped" about. I'm cool with Bungie being comfortable within the genre, in fact I put Bungie up there with some of the best developers...but that doesn't mean you re-create an old game and put a new IP tag on it. My whole point was to show that this is not the future of the FPS. Someone even said that I make no attempt at solving mechanics...you're right I don't...Im not a game developer and I don't pretend to be. What I am is a video game enthusiast with an expansive list of games played. I know a game that is lacking when I see one.

You don't need to do it in one session.
Yeah, duplicate greens are a lot more likely because they only have a choice of two sights, one affix, and a damage upgrade. Blue weapons seem to have quite a bit more variety.
One unique affix, two upgrades, three choices of sights, and three choices of what seem to be projectile behavior,
as long as you don't die.
i made 3 or 4 return trips to cash out on daily events and other bounties.
its one of the easiest bounties to get too.

hmmm.
I understand where you are coming from man. I explained in the first part of my post that its your opinion and mine is different. I don't know why you need to keep telling everyone how you feel while making comments like the bolden above.
clearly most of us in here do not agree with you and thats fine.

because stealth bro.
I dunno, a lot of the high level stuff across all classes are awesome.

Maybe I just haven't found any good loot for hunter yet. I'm green all over and I wanna be decked in red.

Jumping between the xbox one version and ps4 version 900p hurt my eyes should have release the 1080p Xbox one version bungie
That's weird, i could barely tell a difference last night.
(That's what she said.) lol
I'm killing it in mutiplayer. Female warlock must be my thing. 
.......I'm doing much better at this game than COD. Tip; health is low and want to get away? Jump! Flying in the air makes you a much harder target. Works every time.
What is everyone's favorite story mission? I think the best is The Devils Lair. Playing with 3 other people taking down the Devil Walker and Sepiks Prime was intense. And the noises Sepiks Prime makes sounds crazy.

Yeah, that's certainly a possibility, but unless you buy them straight from the vendors, you can't expect another drop of the same gun to have the same upgrade path, which makes things even more complicated.

Oh, well then I have no idea what that gun is. I have no chance against it unless I am at a distance. Using a scout rifle btw.
Impressions after four hours: Story missions nice but too short. Random missions suck big time and are pretty much wortless in terms of reward, you need to do 150 fetch quests from A to B just to get Vanguard rank 1. Multiplayer is okish but no Titanfall and no Call of Duty and no Halo. And it takes too long to level up, which is especially annoying because you're fighting the same four enemies over and over again. Titanfall feels much more rewarding just for playing while Destiny feels very much like a grind.
Yes but we can't use them.
You can get them through engrams or if you're really lucky, random loot drop.
Obtainable, yes, but I don't know of any that we can actually equip. The level requirements are too high.
Oh my word, I want to use it. Level 10
Scout Rifle is my favorite, weapon type. I'll even use a slightly underpowered SR in it means I'd have to switch to a a different weapon type for max damage. PS, that rifle looks super awesome.

Are you sure that's not a heavy machine gun?
MADGAME

Which would be fine, since you don't want the same upgrade path on a dupe.
there's like ...2-3 color sets per class through all the available armor in the beta
i really, really wouldn't even worry about it

i know, no map sucks..
also, isn't there only 3 in the tower? i found 3 of them in the tower..
Dude, Hunter's "cosmetics" are the more visible and cool. There's some Warlocks in this thread who even complain about the lack of "cosmetics" for their class.
So... like a wise OP would say:
No.

100% positive. I use a heavy machine gun myself, and it's not that. It's just basically an auto assault rifle it seems.

I never played Borderlands the other game they're saying that feels mixed with this.. so ya, right now Halo is my only comparison I can make on how it feels to me.
What about MP? Where the hell is the TDM? I want to play some deathmatch with people... but all I see is this SP mode right now. Is this like a training mode or something? Because I don't care about the games SP mode at all... I want to play some team deathmatch with my friends.
Lol.. right. Your eyes must of killed last gen.Jumping between the xbox one version and ps4 version 900p hurt my eyes should have release the 1080p Xbox one version bungie
I am fully on board for Destiny now. This Beta was exactly what I needed to be convinced on the game.
The PvP mode is a lot of fun, too. Even after hearing on here that it wasn't so good, I found myself enjoying it a lot.
After the Borderland comparisons, I personally couldn't get into Borderlands, but Destiny is exactly what I've wanted to have in a game.

Has anyone noticed that running all the time might not be the best way to move? Running and turning gives you a delayed turn rather than walking and turning.
This is a dynamic I'm certainly not used to but getting used to. I've been playing way too much TF and in getting used to one FPS so long it takes awhile to get used to another for me.

In regards to Scout Rifles, I see haven't seen a lot of love for the Mitternacht. I have an SR3 and it has the best sight I've seen so far, good clip size, shoots fast/accurate, and precision kills make the reload almost instant. It's fantastic. Unfortunately it's only 49 for damage but the bonuses make up for it.

Tem Warlock here since Alpha... never played with other class.

Warlocks have fucking trenchcoats. Then certainly stand out.
I think he means that Hunters have a kind of minimal and subdued exterior. Little flash, no outrageous armor pieces. All except a huge ass hood and cloak.

This is a BETA. team deathmatch is not included. The only multiplayer mode is control. You capture three zones and each one grants you a bonus to points scored for kills.
You can't play the multiplayer until you have hit level 5.
