Some more.
 
Yeah, it needs some serious improvement.

Someone who is standing in front of you shouldn't need to go all the way the fuck back to space in order to join your fireteam. They should instantly turn green as soon as they accept the invite, and you should both be on your merry way. Instead they're forced through two excruciatingly long loading screens for no reason. WTF???

I have no doubt that if Bungie had a way to pull that off, they would have done it. They aren't idiots.

do any of the other pvp games open up or is it just control?

Just Control in the beta.

Other than a few minor gripes, this game is pretty neat...


Super fast leveling so far... It seems you'll just be able to follow the story missions and maybe toss in a Strike or two on the way to 20.

Lol tank thing in Crucible. 2balanced4me (also the DMR absolutely wrecks on the maps with longer lines of sight, ditto to the sniper)


Game is looking quite spiffy. The lighting seems much improved over the Alpha, to me.

Looking back at the original E3 reveal and playing the first mission, its nice to see a game look better at release. I'd almost gotten used to downgrades.

Speaking of load times, it seems they improved them over the Alpha. The Alpha load screens felt like forever.

Load times are improved since the Alpha. So no doubt that when release comes they won't be a problem.

Loading is still pretty horrible

The game itself is great I love they have a real xp system and gear and didn't try to rpg lite it like everything else nowdays.

I'm not even a fan of fps but I can see me playing this a long time for the character building aspect.

The game is definitely a lot more enjoyable when playing with others. I solo'd up to rank 5 yesterday and had a good time, but definitely felt alone in the vast wliderness.

The defense of the array has been the highlight for me. The musical score really elevated that entire sequence. So good.
 
contemplated on not coming in the work today. My paycheck won ever so slightly. The controls feel really sharp and the HUD looks so minimalist. I really appreciate how treated the on screen for us players

I noticed that as well, much better. Still too long tho because you have to go back into orbit to continue on with the next story mission.
 
How do I get to MP? Do I need to be a certain level? In the alpha it was on the planets screen.

I think it's a level 5 it opens up on the Navigator map, and you get a quest related to it.

Yeah, but only slightly.

As for Dinklage, it's the exact same shit.. but with a voice filter. I think most of the complaints about his performance still stand.

Yup, same performance (which of course it would be, anyone thinking otherwise were crazy). But they did some neat stuff like at times speeding up the actual voice, so first half of the sentence is normal speed, and second half is sped up making it sound a lot different.

Sadly I liked the Alpha Dinklage, all the "Oh look it's a robot speaking" buzzing and electronic noise is annoying, and in rare occasions it's hard to understand what he's actually saying.

Yeah, but, I don't mind for now. Gives me a break to upgrade gear, think if I want to go to tower to see vendors etc.

When you guys got the code on Bungies website did you just get one 12 digit code? Cause I got three codes listed on Bungies site for some reason.
 
After leveling up my Warlock, I have to say that so far I prefer the Titan. I like the quicker jet pack, the super, the melee and the more life on the Titan better. Not sure what I'll prefer in the final game but low level Titan definitely won me over.

just to be clear,

the only difference between the 3 classes are the special abilities, right? if all 3 were equipped with the same weapons/gear, they would essentially be exactly the same, sans abilities?
 
I actually got kind of nervous or when you first discover the hive. Although I played the alpha, the music played a huge role along with a new nice head set.

Don't like that the Hunter knife throw and knife melee are the same button. Sometimes I just want to melee, I don't want to throw my knife first .... am I missing something?

I have to say that I'm not a fan of the Mission end countdown after every story mission. Sorta breaks the immersion.
