I guess I have to wait until I finish downloaded and start the game once because it's still telling me Access Denied.

How do you request to join DGAF? I found it in the alpha site however I cant figure out how to request to join.
ElRenoRaven

Can't remember at the moment. Another way is to PM me your username on the alpha site and I can invite you. I'll get around to those ASAP. Usually during day it's not hard to. Course when asleep it's impossible. lol

Yup. Funny thing if you make it through them all and through that cave it will eventually come out into the area where you have to take down the barricade in the strike. lol

Yes, Jumper.
It's not like classic Bumper Jumper though, it's more like COD Jumper (basically the COD control scheme with Jump mapped to L1)
Again, I hope the final game includes some of the classic Halo control schemes.

I'm kind of deeply disappointed that bungie was so conservative with the PVP :\.
I was hoping they'd really push the whole "Your own crazy ass build" and "Seamless matchmaking in the world" and "Huge open space" elements to build something really unique. Instead it's the same kind of dance we've done, just with a few new mechanics.
ADS, supers, vehicle balance kind of pales to the lack of ambition on display.

still time to prove me wrong bungie!
To be fair, this is only the Alpha and up to level 8? Most MMOs open up near the end. Like with SWTOR, it was only near the last ten levels did you see a bigger difference in gear.

I'm going to buy this game even though nothing I have read so far appeals to me. All of the cons outweigh the pros for me. I think I'm part of the problem.

The ambition seems like it comes from the Strikes, Raids and scale of PVE. I haven't really enjoyed PVP nearly as much as the other content.

Oh an update is coming it seems. 1.0.2. Wonder what this will be fixing.
I see that Gaz_RB just posted so there's my answer. :]everyday math

I kinda wish they didn't add in higher level equipment into the build. Or at least lessened the chance to get it. :/
Are they doing an update soon? Something about it in the alpha forums, but the site isn't compatible for mobile. Hard to read.

Is Titan the only class that gets a jetpack?
Is the announcer voice just a placeholder?

the announcer isn't placeholder, he's the voice of the speaker, and you've heard him in the e3 trailer. I really like his voice personally.

It's less about gear, more about the overall context under which PVP takes place. Things like Invasions, and EVE have shown how cool PVP can be outside the "dudes shoot each other in canyon" model, but here we are, shooting each other in a canyon again.
I agree. Those elements look pretty spectacular, and the RPG elements look deep and satisfying. I was just hoping that ambition would scale across the entire game
Says my account isn't authorized for this? What on earth does that mean?
Is it because I already signed up via the Greatness Awaits website?

May have been asked but exactly what time does the alpha open for people who will be given codes on Thursday?
Still waiting for my code from Sony so I'm guessing Sometime tomorrow it'll happen, but any info would be awesome.
Also, if there's a way to sneak an eager mcbeaver into he alpha like now? I will mentally perform "acts" on you.

You need to play the Alpha before you can join.

is it just Russia in the Alpha, or are there more locations. That seems to be the only place I have seen streamed
Ah haha, thought that was a different sign up portal. Thanks!
And I guess this is good news!

No. You have to actually have loaded up and logged into the game to access the alpha site. Once you have then you can.

Open Russia and one Moon map for the PVP.

You're lucky then.
I mean, the COD control scheme is not terrible, but I'd like to have the option to play with the classic Halo control schemes (especially classic Bumper Jumper) I really don't understand why Bungie hasn't included them too, as an option...
Oh well, here's hoping they include them for the final game.
That I can agree with. More developers should include the option to remap the controls to your liking. Seriously.

From what I've heard retail looks even better then alpha and even beta. Don't know if that includes assets or not.
Jeez. I'll be happy if it just maintains a solid framerate.
Edit:I wonder what quality gear you get from PVP.
Pick me!!

Ok after this match.
You have to have actually started the game the first time before it lets you in, it seems.

They've apparently made a thread about multiplayer where people who haven't played can still keep the boring COD talk going. LOL

I'm talking about the guy who says ZONE 3 CAPTURED or whatever, every few seconds. Didn't hear that voice in the trailer.

That's the voice of The Speaker. He's not a placeholder. And he's amazing. He sounds like Terrance Stamp!
Honestly, I think that's a result of the kill times. People go down quick, and they kneejerk assume that to be COD by default. A low TTK is seemingly associated with COD permanently now.
Edit:lol at the guys in the stream stringing people along. I've pretty much given up hope for tonight.
He is, he's an old dude on a balcony in the Citadel. He's a character in the game, and is most likely some sort of senior councilman in the story.
It's Sol from Snatch.

PvP isn't really my thing to begin with, but I think the "ugh 6v6 looks dumb. I'm out." folks missed the point of the game to begin with. It's an open-world shooter first and foremost. Not that I fault them for not liking something, though.
The amount of eyes closed, fingers in the ears ignorance around this game is astonishing ...... would also believe a small number of those shitting on it at every available chance have some confused feeling towards Bungie and Destiny and Playstation.
