[Orca]

Anyone else having connection issues with the beta? I get dropped four or five times each night, while I never had an issue with the alpha or with other games. It tells me I don't have an internet connection sometimes, others it just loses connection to the server.

 

[tanod]

First time playing last night. I had fun. It's like Halo in a good way but I'm turned off by the mission structure so far.

It seems to drop you in an arena with a few monster spawns and then a boss. Seems to play out similarly to Mass Effect 3's multiplayer.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I got first place in Iron Banner on my team and got 6000+ points and won the game.

The only one on my team who got an item drop was the guy who was last place with a 0.38 K/D and barely got any caps. M8 pls

get bad, scrub.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Or you know, it has the same combat loop and bases everything around playing more to get better guns to do more damage than other players.

I was under the impression that the guns damage ratings do not carry over to PVP aside from this particular event going on.

 

[drak_dreamer]

A guy just got a lvl 20 epic hand cannon after a iron banner match

None whatsoever.

 

[RoKKeR]

Just got Iron Banner Rank 1, and it gives you some cool emblems/class specific visual items. Makes me pumped for the final game, but I really wish they had tuned loot drops better in the beta.

Hoping it improves in the final game.

 

[Dubz]

What do I need to do to get in the Iron Banner? I keep getting the old maps.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

That's The Last Array right?

Yes.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I'd say it's more like Call of Duty because it has ADS, small and relatively cramped maps, loadouts, supers that act similarly to killstreaks, and the fact that at any point in the game, you have no idea what your enemies or teammates are packing.

Yeah but there is quite a few games that have a lot of that stuff. I just hate when people say "this game is like CoD but with [insert features that don't resemble CoD at all]" type statements to describe games. Destiny is destiny.

Spoiler

but again, it has similarities to both games, and some unique stuff of it's own

 

[SnakeEyes]

That honor goes to Moon.

You know what? I'm actually enjoying the Moon now. Sure, the vehicles still suck, but the map itself is growing on me.

 

[oti]

Yeah no. PvP isn't my favourite so far. I would've bought a PS4 for this game if it wasn't on PS3 too. Phew, 400€ saved. For now.

 

[Pattycakes]

There's the ship flying about.

Pretty much love this game, gonna sink some hours into it on release.

I am so jelly.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Dude with a .02 KD ratio just got a purple ship, meanwhile 3.0 KD and I get a white. Shit makes no sense.

Random loot drops are random.

Random.

 

[RoKKeR]

Titan with the Iron Banner "Titan Mark" and Emblem. Cool I suppose.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

PVP is pretty awesome, but that could be a direct result of doing really great in my first match with a level 5 dude.

 

[Ephemeris]

Got three legendary items so far, including a ship !

 

[EL CUCO]

I swear to god this announcer. It just gets on my nerves everytime. It actually FEELS WORSE WHEN I'M LOSING.

"WE'RE LOSING B" "WE'RE LOSING A" "C IS NOW OURS" "WE'VE CAPTU-." SHUT UP

This, and so much of it.

 

[Trickster]

Random loot drops are random.

Random.

That's the problem though ain't it?

 

[Pastry]

Got three legendary items so far, including a ship !

What the fuck? I haven't gotten a single item in iron banner. Is it random who gets things?

 

[Vooduu]

Everybody is using auto rifles and catching on.

 

[WITHE1982]

anyone?

Straight behind the bounty giver. Big door is now open.

 

[kitzkozan]

Completely agree. I got almost a 6 KDR using the tank. I was pretty much unstoppable. Hijacking should be in.

I agree that hijacking should make a comeback, even if Bungie decided to ignore it for now. Their reasoning was that it's not needed because of superior player mobility, but it's a moot point since you can't aim for shit while in the air. XD Vehicles won't be much of a factor in organized pvp, but that tank is deadly when it's random vs random lol.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I play the new CoD every year, this feels like a fantasy scifi CoD that isn't very good to me

 

[HaRyu]

What the fuck? I haven't gotten a single item in iron banner. Is it random who gets things?

Probably.

On my first try for Iron Banner, I ended up dead last in points, but I was the only one to get items.

 

[EL CUCO]

Everybody is using auto rifles and catching on.

And snipers. I got tired of getting 1 or 2 shotted and joined the party.

Now I can "beast" too!

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Im at work. Im so jealous right now.

 

[CLBridges]

Gotta head out for a few hours. Can't grind this event like I wanted, but at least I did get the Iron Banner emblem (Legendary item). Make sure you guys post pics of your loot for us who'll miss all or part of it.

 

[BokehKing]

Or you know, it has the same combat loop and bases everything around playing more to get better guns to do more damage than other players.

In iron banner, yes it does
Same could be said for battlegrounds in world of Warcraft, your hard work pays off in better gear and weapons

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Random loot drops are random.

Random.

It's just my opinion, but it seems like an event should do a better job distributing loot and not be quite so a random.

 

[FirstClaes]

That purple Timur Lash handcannon seems quite common, seen 2 in this thread and seen 2 get them in game myself

 

[GavinUK86]

I don't get it. So this Iron Banner thing are new maps? And new unlocks?

 

[Steel]

Sounds like you need to get less frustrated and play/practice a little more, I wasn't good at first too

I was also terrible the first few games, now I'm positive most games even had a 15:1 game(In a vehicle). I still feel the pvp is way unbalanced

 

[AGoodODST]

Keep going for back melees expecting a one hit kill

 

[VisceralBowl]

I don't get it. So this Iron Banner thing are new maps? And new unlocks?

Some new armor pieces + two new maps + version of control where weapons and stats aren't normalized (aka better loot = better).

 

[Indrid Cold]

K got the ship and reached rank 1. What else can you get?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

I'm enjoying the pvp cause in a team and having fun, but when warcocks and titans keep on spamming their aoe attacks, it gets really frustrating...

They have to fix this.

 

[Slair]

Does the titan smash make him invulnerable?

 

[DNAbro]

How has no one posted screens of the mars map yet?

 

[Brohan]

Server down?

 

[Altima]

I am awful at PvP

I am also bad at pvp. I wont complete those bounty in a million years.

Anyone know ? Is chance to got epic loot in pvp same form everyone ?

 

[figadapaura]

When do I get my legendary hand cannon?

 

[Fracas]

The new mode is just trial and error of figuring out who I can hurt and who can one-shot me.

 

[KnightHart]

get bad, scrub.

You mention that, and my team loses, I'm 2nd place on the team. I got an item drop and it's a Scout Rifle that's worse than the one I'm using now. Destiny pls

 

[Vooduu]

And snipers. I got tired of getting 1 or 2 shotted and joined the party.

Now I can "beast" too!

True. I got sniped so many times. I'm not even mad, I'm amazed.

 

[figadapaura]

Does the titan smash make him invulnerable?

No.

 

[Slair]

No.

fuck, i've shot a titan in the air with the golden gun and it didn't do shit

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Join the pvp event, ahead like 15000 to 10000. Two people disconnect and leave. Lose the game.

Yeah I really don't like this PVP mode.

 

[ArchedThunder]

In iron banner, yes it does
Same could be said for battlegrounds in world of Warcraft, your hard work pays off in better gear and weapons

It still has the same CoD-like combat loop and loadouts in regular. The multiplayer feels like a bad unbalenced tacked-on mode.

 

[Afrodium]

I haven't seen a new map when playing Iron Banner. I just get put on the damn moon over and over again.
