Looks great. Glad people are mostly positive about it. Now I just need to luck out and get in the alpha.

And why would I want them?
Got lucky and received an early beta invite! Been playing the last hour or so!!! Absolutely love what I'm playing so far. Doing a lot of PvP. Feels so much faster than halo! Definitely has a borderlands feel to it, though I think this feels more smooth and polished, even for a beta. I love how you can summon your vehicle at anytime in a mp match. I'll be playing this shit non stop until the beta ends. This shit has goty written all over it if you ask me. So impressed right now.
The only real gripe I have is some of the gun models don't look that great graphically, mainly that main rifle you start out with. I've only seen a few different gun types though and I had the same complaint with borderlands at first too.

Frame rate is pretty much rock solid 30 FPS. Very rare, if any dips.

So I just got done for a bit. Good gaming with you Dax and Sai. Damn it. Accidently deleted it. I'll record more later. Damn learning how to use twitch.
So when the hell is this Beta? i heard 2 different dates during the Sony conference, and people here seem to be saying that its already started? this is getting confusing.
When is the beta really starting? i have already registered my beta thing when i pre ordered my game months ago. So not sure what this beta is, or is it the same?
As you can see i'm really confused by all this lol.

That's hot.
whats even better is just staring into the sky and watching all the trails.

That's hot.
Every area, as far as I can tell, has a day/night cycle. Varies it up a bit while providing unique, beautiful views in their own right.

do we know if this area (under the traveler) is explorable?

It really does. There have been times I'll just sit in the tower or there while exploring and just watch the cycle happen.

Not yet, no. I doubt we'll see go there until retail release, if we ever go there at all.

Doesn't seem like it. The tower area is kinda small, I wish it was a bit more expansive actually.
The planets themselves (Old Russia) are pretty huge though.

Shoot me a message and you can have my code from the E3 theatre event; I don't own a PS4 yet. Keep whatever comes with that (Battlefield Beta, Destiny Alpha, etc.). It will probably be more meaningful for you than me.
A kind offer, but an angel from above took care of me.Shoot me a message and you can have my code from the E3 theatre event; I don't own a PS4 yet. Keep whatever comes with that (Battlefield Beta, Destiny Alpha, etc.). It will probably be more meaningful for you than me.

It's kind of hard to have a day/night cycle when you have a map on the moon.

No worries!
For anyone else wondering; it's already been given to another poster, upon besada not needing it.
one of may favorite things about the game is that it feels very real in ways. Signs have translations in multiple languages, there are logos and brands of fictional thing everywhere, it really makes the game feel bigger than it is in some ways.
Also they went overboard with the physics, all the cloth moves in the wind, the plants sway everything feels grounded in a very real place.
places in the tower have couches and people talking or looking at tablets or people working, ghosts fly around and buzz. It feels nice and hopeful, like this is life.

That's something I've been begging for in an FPS for the longest time. That and a dynamic skybox/weather system

Is there anything destructible in this game? Besides the vehicles.

The game handles a lot of transitions going from Strikes/free-roam/Tower, matchmaking, different areas of free-roam very seamlessly. It's really impressive.
One part of Old Russia has wind blowing fiercely. It's a light touch that adds so much.
O, ye angel of Destiny, harken down from above and bestow upon your humble servant, Gaz, an alpha code so that he may give greater thanks to our Lord Bungie, hallowed be thy name
amen

Thanks fellow Gaffers for the numerous impressions, information, and videos. I'm hoping I get chosen for the Alpha so I can get in there and test it. So far though, it looks like it'll be right up my alley. I run with a clan of 3 other guys and we're all looking forward to it.

Yeah, that kind of stuff I love. I'll admit the game looked pretty boring before e3, but the recent videos have pretty much sold me

Go back to the checkpoint.
Been mostly fine for me. The E3 conference streams that were getting hammered were occasionally choppy, but all the regular channels I watch have been okay.
That's awesome. Bungie going all out with the world building.
