These are the places in the Grimoire, so I imagine those are the planets we go to during the full game:

I wonder how we're supposed to play on Jupiter and Saturn since they're gas giants with no real surface to walk on.

/edit: Same goes for Venus. The PvP map looked rather green in the IGN walkthrough, which would be very weird since the surface temperature is too hot for conventional plants to grow...
I think I read somewhere that the Traveler made the planets more habitable... I should probably stop questioning the scientific accuracy of the Destiny Universe....
Still, I'm genuinely interested in how they turn gas giants into playable areas. :D

In the intro movie I believe they mention that the Traveler terraformed these planets or something like that.

Got to try out the beta on PS3. Game runs really smoothly for old hardware. I think Bungie was smart in doing the first iteration of Destiny on PS3/360 because those players will have tasted the fruit, so-to-speak, and will be foaming at the mouth when D2 comes out down the line for xbonx/ps4.

That being said, I loved the MP. The only downside was I only was able to play 2 of the maps in about a 3 hour time window. No matter if I stayed in the same server or tried another, it seemingly always dropped in to the annoying Moon map. It's not terrible, but I have never been a big fan of vehicles in FPS games and Destiny is no exception. The tanks seem OP at the moment considering the health can regen (kind of silly).

Is there anyone else having this problem? I only was able to check out the Moon and Venus (great map).

Patiently waiting for next week. Got an extra code, may have to try it on ps3. Will characters go from Playstation to Xbox? Or just 3 to 4 and 360 to One?
 
Bought a shotty that has the ability to give me ammo every time I kill someone with it. The ammo goes directly in the magazine so I am assuming I never have to reload if I keep getting 1 shots.

I wonder if they'll be such an absolute panic when this comes on for xbox as it was last night for playstation, I think it's going to be real interesting.

Considering the mad rush to get on yesterday, the 1 1/2 hours it took us from download to logging in seemed perfectly reasonable, all things considered. I expected chaos. :D

Yup, remembered that but I'm still curious about how they imagine gas giants to turn out after terraforming them. Hopefully they came up with something cool.

DestinyGAF, you've already made 15,000 posts!

We are crazy though....

How was your Beta M'lady?

Haha I own both consoles, although PS4 is currently dead, but a lot of smug has been coming from the xbox lot about how it launched and broke PSN, so It'll be interesting to see how smug they are when it crashes for them.

But all in all I want everyone to enjoy the beta and have a great time. If anyone still has EU DestinyGAF requests let me know via DestinyGAF thread, or PM.

Cool!
 
Communication while doing king of the hill is key. And yes I'm calling all of these game types we get their halo equivalent.

Either ways yeah communication. My fireteam and I played one without talking at all and we got butt stomped. But next time around we started to tell each other who is going with whom, where to go next, where enemies are etc

so is it worth it to expand to that extra paid season pass thingie?

There is like a 30 dll thing to add on top of the game. Dunno if i should get it.
 
Nope :)

For new page:

Looking for a group of awesome gaffers to roll up some crucible with. I'm lvl 6 but good. PSN id = MMaRsu

I'll add you when I get home (5:00 PM EST). Me and my non-gaf buddy played 20+ matches last night....I'm running on coffee and fumes at work right now.

I've got the beta downloaded and installed and I still don't know if I'm going to play it. I loved the alpha and know I'll love the game. I also don't want to have to play through the early stuff for a third time. lol

I'm having fun. Granted, this is the third version of Old Russia I'm playing, but I'm still having fun. I love playing with other people: Urk and Halcylon the 16th, the girls (Everyday Math and Sploatee) last night. This game is so much fun in co-op.

I love playing through the levels on different difficulties.

If you've got the same Destiny username, I saw you bouncing about yesterday. *snort*
 
Love the coop but didn't like my first match of MP.
No idea how to shoot from the vehicles though and if you are on foot you are dead. Not only that but all the capture points are completely wide open and impossible to defend with the "C" capture point being overlooked by a fucking turret.

All that happens is that you just bounce from one point to another capturing them because there is almost no way to protect them.

I'm sure my chances are slim, but would anyone with an extra code mind PM'ing me? I'd really like to play with my little brother.

Betrayed Microsoft and went for PS3 for the beta (borrowed the console from a friend).

PSNID is Empyrus (like my gamertag) in case someone wants to play (EU).
Don't have headset though... unless an USB (standard connector) headset can be used with PS3?
