I though that 1 Bungie code [9 digit] unlocks 3 console codes [12 digits each]. I just want to know if PSN bungie beta code will be same as those from amazon/retail.

A bungie code is good for cchosing 1 platform to play on.

Got sent an email to choose what platform/region I want, and they'd send the code when they go out. But when I try choosing, it says come back when the codes are available :s
Pretty cool that you get 3 codes, I can get my brother in now since he's reluctant to preorder and cancel for some reason

Buying the guardian edition from the American PS store works out at around 53 pounds.
So very tempting.
So very tempting.
My understanding from Bungie is that when the final game is out on your first character you have to progress through a certain point of the single player before you can unlock multiplayer, then you can access it from the start on any other characters you create.
couple things....
1. Went over to Bungie.net today to put in the code from my Amazon pre-order and what not...have not been to Bungie.net in YEARS, and did not see a way to sign into my old account there...so i chose to sign in with my PSN account....no big deal...
is there a way to access my OLD bungie.net account?
2. ive been subconciously avoiding reading too much about this game, so i know VERY little about it...im rather excited tohave a go in the Beta when it starts up

Digital preorders from the ps store will get one download (or rather one entry to the beta)

With three beta download codes for that platform: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=120383506&postcount=786. Apparently not for digital buyers, though.
As for DestinyGAF, seeing as how this thread has been resurrected, I think it would be prudent to take all requests to join the group over to that thread so this thread has less clutter.
Heh OK. Thanks.
That's fine, it could have entirely been just me that felt that there was a difference. I just felt that there was freer movement on the Moon map versus Rusted Lands.

During the alpha aussies were playing with friends from Canada and uk. For the beta, its not sure yet. But this "choose your region" thing most likely means that it'll be locked.
We just don't know yet. It may put you in a region by default or with players that you have good connections with, but there's no limitation to teaming up with Americans as a European, for example.

TWILIGHT GAP: Earth
From Destinypedia:
"The Twilight Gap is a location in the City Perimeter on Earth as well as a Crucible map.
Little more is known about the nature or characteristics of the Twilight Gap at this time, except that it contains "war-torn fortresses." In news coverage of the Reveal Press Conference, multiple sources stated that it was described as something visible from the Overwatch District. The Twilight Gap was also described as "apparently [representing] a big chunk of mankinds history in the game."
According to Bungie, humanity first encountered the Cabal at the fortresses of the Twilight Gap."
*EXODUS BLUE: - Phobos; Mars (supposedly the Playstation timed-exclusive map)
"The Exodus Blue is a long-dead space vessel. Before the Collapse, it brought hope and humanity to worlds beyond Earth"
EDIT: May as well dump the gametype post up here too:
Control: Capture and defend 3 zones to win.
*Rumble: Free For All (seen above), represented by the 3 classes crossing blades. Lone Wolves, this is for you.
Lockdown Most likely a King of the Hill variant with either a static or dynamic hill. Could also be a 1-sided offense-defense gametype.
Skirmish: A variant of Capture the Flag. Could be a Stockpile variant where flags are placed around the map, delivered to a capture zone, and defended or stolen until they are scored at specific intervals. (Skirmish was the name for an Objective playlist in Halo 3)
Team: This is the Slayer/Team Deatchmatch gametype for pure carnage.
Salvage: From the achievement's list, Salvage appears to be a gametype where points are also captured. This could mean several things: Salvage is a gametype where an object is held for a duration of time to earn points; a gametype where loot of sorts is collected from a player and then scored at a drop zone (Headhunter), a gametype where a Ghost is collected from a fallen player to score a point (Kill Confirmed); a gametype where players fight to pick up loot and deliver it to a drop point (like a Bounty); or an entirely new gametype.
Are these all of the crucible maps? I really hope there are a few more at launch.

Dang, Blind Watch looks really fun. Thanks for putting that PvP guide together, Zoba!
During the alpha, we started from level 4 to level 8 cap. Bungie talked about the fact that they applied a x2 or x4 multiplier for the experience system of the alpha.
So... maybe we're going to start level 1 with the beta, using the real exp system.
Or this.

Nobody knows for sure. It could just be Bungie's obsession with the number 7.

It does kind of blow my mind that IGN is getting all of this exclusive Destiny info and they choose a guy who can't play a first person shooter worth a shit to show it. It's not good exposure for the game (or not nearly as good as it could be if the guy was decent).

Or prehaps likely that they may increase the cap mid-way through the beta during the day day maintence so you can only get to 7 in the first 4 days and maybe up to 10 in the last 3.

Weird. Is that because you already received a 12-digit PSN code and redeemed it? Or is this just from the digital pre-purchase on PSN?

Only Conquest (again). I'm waiting for Bungie to release what will be in the Beta to update the OP, but we know that much.
Eh. The Beta will speak for itself better than any IGN Destiny coverage, which people will probably forget about once the Beta comes out.
This is also another possibility.

Not sure - I have a code from amazon and might have redeemed it, but I also pre-ordered on PSN.

They should have DestinyGaf play. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Yeah IGN's coverage has been really meh so far. I enjoy seeing crucible maps but the dude they have playing them kind of sucks. Everything just seems kind of subdued.

You mean "Control", right?
...You can? You get the Crucible in the beta.

Is PVP any good? I gave it a miss during the Alpha, so should I give it a go? If so what kind of rewards do you get for doing i.e. special/exclusive loot or is it just bragging rights.
The Librarian
Banned
Yes.
You earn Crucible reputation and marks that you can accumulate and purchase Legendary tier PVP gear/weapons.
You also gain EXP for your character like you would in PVE as well as loot rewards at the end of each round.

Truth be told... what ive played of the Alpha and seen of the Beta multiplayer wise... it's pretty "meh". PvE is on a whole different level of epic; however, PvP is very sort of mediocre, slow and laboring... so far. I'm really hoping different game modes and maps turn it around. If not i'll be playing Destiny mainly for PvE and getting my PvP fill with the Master Chief Collection.

Best way to get better loot is by purchasing Engrams from the Engram vendor in the Tower. You can also get Heavy Weapons from him.
