The way the sparrows fly looks so natural. The random sways and how they react to the environment are really well done.

To me it looks more natural than the Ghost when it flies.
Nope. 81% and the wait is killing me. I have everything ready though.

It's actually much more maneuverable than Ghosts and can do drifts around corners.

It's perfectly ok to not like it' but they are basing thing for the most part on incorrect assumptions that have been proven wrong by streams they could easily be watching.
I'm just happy that the vast consensus has shifted towards the very positive here.
Yea there seemingly is much more horizontal movement which is nice. Also it seems faster.

Indeed.
Making comparisons with COD is understandable, bacause of the control scheme, the faster kill times, and the inclusion of ADS, but watching Ninja's stream, it is obvious the closest thing would be actually Halo Reach.
Ninja sure makes the game look fun.

Nope no problems, but I imagine we won't be seeing any of that kind of stuff till more people are on.
To give you an idea of how few people are on right now, I've run into Gaz_RB about 10 times just randomly.

Seeing less people posting in the thread, hopefully that means I will have less competition as I try and get an early Alpha code. (I mean, I know there is less than 24 hours before they start going out but I am losing my mind seeing all these streams.)

Are you using your own capture device or streaming through PS4?

Not on yet. About to install it. Be there soon!
Those TTL guys are so annoying to play against, I just want to try out the different guns but when I get matched with them I gotta put on my tryhard pants.

STREAMING NOW!
No mic because my 3.5mm is taken up by something already. Will take requests and talk in chat or on GAF though.

Just played 3 hours straight. This game is awesome!! Really want some more game modes and more areas to see! Got to level 7 and a half eagerly awaiting those awesome guns and vehicles at level 8. Playing as a Warlock!
I think my favorite part is the sound your little space shuttle makes just so perfect!! <3

LOL. Ninja was just saying that on the stream.
Ninja is so good BTW. No wonder you guys lost.

Just some thoughts on how the exploration loop could possibly improved. In the Patrol missions it seems like it sets objectives relatively close at all times. You can get stuck in the same area and it can become monotonous.
Instead, you could have some missions that force the player to go to new locations that are further away on the map.
Another idea to possibly encourage/enrich exploration is by rewarding the player with a experience point bonus, collectible or something similar when discovering a new location.
Side note: I think it would be more fun if you got to open a chest up at the end of a Strike raid rather than just seeing the reward in the post game screen.
One question, do you get better rewards for doing Legend difficulty?

Using the PS4's functionality. I have my own streaming rig but it's in another city right now

Welp. It feels like everyone is getting a code now.I'm in
Downloading it tonight, can't wait to jump in tomorrow morning.
From what I can tell, everyone who signed up is getting a key tomorrow

Yeah I saw that earlier. I'm not too worried. It just seems a lot of people have gotten in today.
Are there named areas within the larger zones? Always liked when I stumbled upon a new area in WoW.
They never said tomorrow, just this weekend. Besides stuck there waiting with you, just watching the streams.
Nestled_Grizzly
Member
Yeah but didn't it say the codes will go out just tomorrow? Could've sworn.
Vire

Yes, there's like 8-10 different named regions in Old Russia.
Some will, probably not all.

This is from the FAQ on the Signup site: "We will begin delivering codes @12 Noon PST on Thursday, June 12th"

PVP party needed. Anybody on?
lol
Yea that's one of the disadvantages to getting this stuff early is that there ain't nobody on.

Oh well. I guess I can't read.
Dan Miller in my party/stream right now. He wants questions, so type them in chat and I'll ask him them, and he'll answer on stream (as long as it doesn't break NDA)
