Yeah, I managed to get mine last night, but at this point there's no point to freaking out over it since everyone is getting one tomorrow.

I believe someone said earlier in the thread that there's no remote play in the alpha =/
If no one confirms this in the next 10ish minutes, I should be able to give it a try.

Is everyone who registered for a code definitely getting one tomorrow? Or is there only a limited number of codes available?
cloudsarebushes said that yes you can play Destiny with Remote Play, but he suggested it was best for PvE.

We'll everyone just went mute.
Apparently Deej said in an interview earlier that EVERYONE who signs up for it will get a code.

Great news. Thanks.
He's doing a legendary strike. It's frickin hard. What's cool is that parts of it appear to take place in the open world, so passersby who are not in your group can lend a hand if they choose to.

I think that happened to Gaz and I while we were in Devil's Lair, too.
The first part is in the open, and seems to drop you in with your firesquad and 3 additional people. Once you entire the facility that most of the strike takes place in, they get phased out.
He gave away a code on my stream earlier.
Here is the first hour and a half I played, the other bits should still be uploading (5 hours worth hah)

You couldn't hear me? That's hilarious. I was just talking to myself the whole time.
Try reentering the fireteam!

Does any gaffer (preferably) or media site out there have detailed impressions posted? I don't feel like digging through 20+ pages here of code begging, jealousy, and random quips. Basically I'm trying to figure out whether or not to get hyped for this, but to do that I need nicely detailed thoughts and impressions. I've been an avid CoD player since MW and used to do simply ok in Reach.

I played the first mission via remote play so yes it works. They even mapped grenades to left front touch and melee to right front touch, with the map in the middle.
Only wierdness was the dpad wouldn't trigger the emotes for some reason.

Weird stuff. I wonder if it's a known bug.

So, uh, is the alpha PS4 only?
All I got is PS3.

Woah! That's awesome, if you go to the boatyard area and stay there long enough, "Pike Rider Fallen" will show up and they come on their supped up Sparrows that can shoot!
If you kill the rider, you can steal his vehicle and use it. I was able to actually kill a lvl 11 Fallen with it.

I was slowly walking to the first mission admiring the sky, and just listening. The wind whipped up and faintly in the distance I heard howls or groans. Simply chilling.

Alright, so while I am still upset about progress getting carried over and no weapon pick up styled MP (which IMO is so much better than loadouts), THIS impression from a Halo vet got me optimistic.
Particularly, the "Halo moments" and the PvP encounter duration (in between Halo and something like Battlefield).
I still am not feeling the ADS and wish it was more like Killzone 2, but it should be a good go-to MP game.
It's too bad we are getting a domination mode, I'd have really liked to see the flow of movement/map control for a TDM or something.
By the way, I'm hearing about special weapons: Snipers, Shotguns mostly. Does this mean you cant spawn in with one? If so that's great news! It means those power weapons are rightfully rare, and this should help balance the game better. Can someone explain this to me?
What I really dislike about MP games where you have loadouts is the whole "play your way, with all these customizations" style. It makes balance so much more complicated. More is less.

Bungie's use of color is very appreciated, and the day/night cycle adds so much to the game. I seriously love running around during the day with a bright blue sky and fluffy clouds.
Guess I'll join you for a few games over the weekend then, just don't tell Frogs...

I believe the new Battlefield Hardline beta is the only I've heard not working. It is mandatory and BF4 has it.

Bungie actually did a really good job with balance. The thing with carrying over progress is that the guns scale down. Like if you bring in a bad ass pulse rifle, it does the same amount of damage as everyone else's pulse rifles.
Special weapons like snipers and shotguns you can spawn with a change on the fly, but I think it's balanced nicely. It's not like Halo where they're scarce, the balance comes from everyone's access to them.
The heavy weapon ammo is scarce though.

The scale of this game is staggering at times:
The IQ is fantastic as well. And it's still alpha!
Already have a US PSN, but it still requires active PS+ like all PS4 MP. And I already gave the code away to lowleyedup
